evidence: The inhabitants of Manipur, Meitei/Meetei people were known as Kathe Shan/Kassay Shan and Tai Moy or Kassay as referred to in Tai journal in new Shan script "Tai in the World", bearing strong similarities with Tai Leng race of Myanmar. The kingdom of Manipur was Tainized/Shanized with other races. Kabaw Valley predominantly Shans, her possession lied with Manipur and sometimes with strong Burmese rulers who annexed and occupied the land in their ancient history. [...] The distasteful transfer of Kabaw Valley on January 9, 1834, Maharaja Gambhir Singh of Manipur died of an unnatural death (Heart Attack), hearing the shocking news of Kabaw Valley transfer. The British agents of both Manipur and Burma corroborated and deceitfully acted under the British Supreme government’s guidance and transferred Kabaw Valley from Manipur to Burma. [...] King Bagyidaw’s Ava court decision making was strongly influenced by Hluttaw (Burmese council of ministers), who pressed on the British Officials and demanded resource rich Kabaw Valley and Tenasserim. In the end, Manipur was used as a bait by the British Supreme Government and transferred Kabaw Valley to Burma and denied Burmese the claim to Tenasserim.
