Many writers claim that kingdom of Manipur with varieties of its, name, is a continuous institution from by-gone many millennia. Now many wishful thinkers claim, Meitei Tribe should not be Scheduled Tribe list of India, any more due to adoption of Hindu and glorious history of kinghood. This paper will try to examine the status of Maharaja of Manipur within the British India Empire and current Social status among peers to verify the merit of those wishful thinkers.
