'''Marjit Singh''' was a [[List of Meitei kings|Meitei royal]] who ruled [[Manipur]] between 1812 and 1819 as a vassal of [[Burma]], but was eventually expelled by the Burmese.<ref>[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_K-W.html Princely States of India]</ref><ref>{{harvp|Banerjee, The Eastern Frontier of British India|1946|pp=286–287}}: "Marjit ruled over Manipur for seven years (1812-1819) as a vassal of the Burmese King."</ref> The Burmese devastated Manipur during a seven-year occupation that came to be known as ''[[Chahi-Taret Khuntakpa]]''.

== Family ==
Marjit Singh was a son of Raja [[Ching-Thang Khomba]], the ruler up to 1798. Afterwards, his numerous sons fought for the throne.{{sfnp|Hodson, The Meitheis|1908|p=81}}

Madhuchandra succeeded his father first. He fled to [[Cachar]] when the Burmese threatened the kingdom. He tried to regain it with the help of the Cachar king Govinda Chandra. However, he was killed by the troops of his brother, [[Chourjit Singh]]. During Chourjit Singh's reign, Marjit Singh fled to Cachar and got into a serious dispute there. Then he went to Burma and received the help of King [[Bodawpaya]] and expelled Chourjit Singh.{{sfnp|Banerjee, The Eastern Frontier of British India|1946|p=284}}

== Rule ==
Marjit Singh ascended to the throne in 1812. Chourjit Singh, along with another brother [[Gambhir Singh]], fled to Cachar. Govinda Chandra refused to help them against a brother, but Marjit Singh invaded Cachar anyway in 1817. Chourjit and Gambhir Singh helped Gonvda Chandra fend off Marjit Singh, but they in turn drove out Govinda Chandra, took over Cachar and plundered it.{{sfnp|Banerjee, The Eastern Frontier of British India|1946|pp=284–286}}

At this stage, Marjit Singh appears to have gotten into trouble with the Burmese, who invaded the kingdom and expelled him.

== Aftermath ==
The Burmese occupation lasted until the [[First Anglo-Burmese War]] in 1824, and became locally known as ''[[Chahi-Taret Khuntakpa]]''. It devastated Manipur. According Pemberto, Manipur was ‘doomed ... to the devastating visitation of Burmese armies which have nine or ten times swept the country from one extremity to the other, with the apparent determination of extirpating a race whom they found it impossible permanently to subdue.'{{sfnp|Banerjee, The Eastern Frontier of British India|1946|pp=282–284}}

Marjit Singh went to Cachar and joined his brothers. They divided Cachar among themselves, with Marjit occupying Hailakandi and Gambhir Singh took control of South Cachar. Chourjit took shelter in [[Sylhet]].{{sfnp|Banerjee, The Eastern Frontier of British India|1946|p=286}}
