evidence: Dr Ranjan raises Kabaw Valley issue with External Affairs Minister [...] Dr Ranjan pointed out that Manipur had given nearly 22,210 sq. km of land called Kabaw Valley to Burma (now Myanmar) under the Treaty of Yandabo, 1826. For this lost territory, Manipur used to get an indemnity or tribute of Sicca Rs 500 per month from Burma. The present value of Sicca Rs 500 would be more than Rs 8,000 crore. [...] Since Manipur's merger with India in 1949, the amount went straight to the Central exchequer. Consequently, Manipur has been deprived of any compensation of Kabaw Valley, no lease-money, no tribute or no indemnity. People of Manipur are still grumbling for such a raw deal, conveyed the Lok Sabha MP.
