Sir,

During World War II, Moirang was the headquarters of Indian National Army (INA). Colonel Shaukat Malik of the INA hoisted the Tricolour for the first time on Indian soil on April 14, 1944, in Moirang with the help of Manipuris like Mairembam Koireng Singh and others who were members of the INA. The INA Museum at Moirang displays some wartime relics and photographs.

I was in this historical museum during my one of many visits to Imphal, Manipur — years 1977-89.

Manipuris are patriotic and nationalists. It is an extremely beautiful State.
