The Khumans were an important clan associated with the leadership of which feudatory state?

Moirang
Andro
Wangkhei
Nongmaiching

The correct answer is: a) Moirang.

The Khumans were an important clan associated with the leadership of the Moirang feudatory state. The Khumans were a powerful clan that ruled over the Moirang area for many years. They were known for their military prowess and their strong sense of community. The Khumans were also known for their unique culture and traditions.

The Khumans were a matrilineal society, which means that property and inheritance were passed down through the female line. This was in contrast to the patrilineal society of the Meitei people, who were the dominant ethnic group in the region. The Khumans also had a unique system of government, which was based on a council of elders.

The Khumans were eventually conquered by the Meitei people, but they retained their unique culture and traditions. Today, the Khumans are a small minority group in Manipur, but they continue to play an important role in the state’s culture and history.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Option b) Andro is a village in the Imphal West district of Manipur. It is not a feudatory state.
  • Option c) Wangkhei is a locality in Imphal, the capital of Manipur. It is not a feudatory state.
  • Option d) Nongmaiching is a hillock in Imphal West district. It is not a feudatory state.
