Welcome to Paochel Kangleipak

Here we would be showcasing various aspects of Kangleipak (presently known as Manipur) based on our research findings. One of our aims is to do away the fabricated/distorted history of Kangleipak and to bring out the real identity of our own people of Kangleipak.

From time to time we will webcast write-ups on Kangleipak for the global masses. We would also appreciate contribution of authentic articles/images/videos/audios pertaining to Kangleipak.

Stay Tuned and Happy Reading!

PS: We have equal respect for people following various faiths (e.g. Christianity, Islam, Budhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Animism, etc.).
Also we have equal respect for people who are generally known as ‘Atheist’ or ‘Non-Believers’.

Wakoklon Hilen Thilel Salai Amailon Pukok Puya (written in Kanglei Eeyek). The original puya was burnt during the reign of King Pamheiba under the evil design of one Shanti Das Goshai. However the puya was copied by Angom Chaopa and smuggled out to a hill village called Koireng Khul. The following are the first few pages of the copied puya.
