Meitei people in Nagaland

To mark his victory over the Naga people, the historic Kohima Stone Inscription (Meitei: ꯀꯣꯍꯤꯃꯥ ꯈꯨꯠꯏ ꯅꯨꯡꯄꯥꯛ) was erected in 1833 CE as a mark of Meitei conquest and supremacy over the Naga Hills in 1832 CE.

[3][4][5] In 1896 CE, James Johnstone noted in his documents that the Meiteis (alias Manipuris) were highly respected and warmly welcomed as special and honoured guests by the Naga people in almost every village, during the time when Britishers couldn't go inside the Naga realm without having the risk of being killed.

[6] He also noted that the Meiteis (Manipuris) used to collect tributes from the Naga villages, as a mark of rule over them.

[11] Nagaland's St Joseph University annually organises "Manipuri poetry day" on full-moon day of the lunar month 'Mera' according to the Meitei calendar.

[14] In 2016, there were incidents of banning transportation of vehicles owned by Meiteis (Manipuris) in Nagaland.
