Manipur Levy

The Manipur Levy was the first standing army established in Manipur Kingdom. It was formed during the Manipur national struggle against Burmese rule, which occurred during the period known as the Chahi-Taret Khuntakpa (1819–1826 CE). The Manipur Levy played a critical role in the resistance against Burmese occupation and the eventual liberation of the kingdom. The army was established under the leadership of Maharaj Gambhir Singh, who is recognized as a key figure in the national movement and a significant contributor to the formation of modern Manipur.
