To deeply understand the history and culture of Manipur, a lot of research works on the life and contribution of the various Maichous (ancient meitei scholars) of Manipur are required, said assistant professor of department of Umanglai Haraoba, MUC Th Ruhichand on Sunday.

He was delivering the keynote address during the observance of Maichou Ningshing Numit cum Maichou Purel Maisanam Apabi Luwang Memorial Lecture, 2021 on at Utra Shanglen, Imphal.

It was jointly organised by Umanglai Kanba Apunba Lup (UKAL) and Umanglai Sinpang Sintha Maheiroi Lup (USSIL).

Ruhichand said the Maichous had played a very important role in safeguarding Kangleipak (Manipur) and they were involved in working as advisors to the then kings of Manipur in solving many complicated issues.

Moreover, the Maichous were also the writers of the Puya (ancient texts of Meitei which deal with the genealogy, literature, history, royalties, administration, creation and cosmology), he said.
