CorCom pays homage to Haipou Jadonang

IMPHAL | Aug 27

The proscribed umbrella organisation, CorCom of different outfits operating in the state is all set to pay revolutionary homage to “Athouba,” Haipou Jadonang on his 86th death anniversary that falls on August 29.

Our forefathers have protected our sovereignty, culture and traditions from the hands of foreign invaders and passed down a way of living our lives independently, said a release signed by media co-ordinator, Ksh. Yoiheiba.

One such forefather who maintained such traditions with pride and gave his life earnestly, without fear for the sake of freedom was Haipou Jadonang, who was born in Zeilangrong community, it said.

After the defeat of Manipur in the Anglo – Manipur War, 1891, the British Raj started implementing its “Divide and Rule” policy by creating a demarcation of Hill and Valley between the people, it further said. Many patriots were sentenced to death and many exiled, it added.

During this horrendous, conflicting era of colonial rule, Haipou Jadonang was born in 1905 in Manipur (Kangleipak) at Kambiron village, Tamenglong district to his parents Thiudai Malangmei and Tabonliu, it continued.  

Upon seeing the oppressions of the British Empire and schemes of Christian missionaries to obliterate the culture and traditions of Zeliangrong community, Jadonang started the war for freedom, it further said.  The British Empire soon felt the influence of Jadonang spreading like wild fire amongst other communities, and arrested him on February 19, 1931 at Cachar, it continued. He was hung to death on August 29, 1931, it added.

Even though the colonial rule of British Empire was over, Manipur have fallen again into the colonial rule of India, it further said adding the unity of hilly and valley people are on the verge of collapsing completely under the oppressive regime of India.

On the 86th death anniversary of Haipou Jadonang, CorCom prays to Tingkao Ragwang to let the people realize that unity is the only possible means to save this endangered community from the colonial rule of India, it added.
