This book features six chapters including introduction and general remarks. The writer describes the valley and the hills, hill routes, soil and climate of Manipur in the introduction. Some months back the Manipuri Students' Federation strongly denounced the book stating that this book should be banned especially for the author's remark, 'Manipur has always been a part of India' with reference to the Mahabharata. The ranges of hills lie between the Surma valley and the Manipur valley. But they never cut off the Manipur valley from the rest of India, thus writes R K Jhalajit. He further discusses the effect of geography and the political background of Manipur in his introductory note. Chapter II features from Koiremba to Mungyamba's reign. Koiremba ascended the throne in 1508 at the age of 20. After a reign of 4 years he died. Lam Kyamba succeeded his brother Koiremba in 1512. He ruled for 11 years. Lam Kyamba had two queens. One of them gave birth to Nong-yin Phaba who ascended the throne in 1523 at the tender age of 10 and the other queen gave birth to Kabomba who succeeded his brother in 1524 still at the more tender age of six. He reigned 18 years and died when he was only 24. He was succeeded by his son Tangjamba in 1542. Tangjamba's reign of 3 years is singularly uneventful. King Kyamba's younger brother Sanongba had three sons. Chalamba was one of them who ascended the throne in 1545. His son Thangwai Ningthou Kiyamba succeeded his father in 1562. He assumed the reign-name as Mungyamba. Chapter (III) tells about Khagemba. Chapter (IV) deals with Khunjaoba and Paikhomba. Chapter (V) reflects the accounts of Pitambar' Charai Rongba. The last chapter entitled General Remarks features the political history, relations with other parts of India like Tripura, Assam and Mughal Empire.
