He was born in 1833 and later entering the military of the [[Manipur Kingdom]], reaching the rank of major by 1891. The same year he was fought in the [[Anglo-Manipur War]] against the [[British Empire]]. Following the defeat of his troops in a skirmish with the British, his adversaries offered to spare Brajabasi's life if he entered their service. Brajabasi refused and was subsequently executed. This act entered Manipuri popular imagination and Brajabasi has since been commemorated by a statue.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-08-09|title=Paona Brajabashi, The Manipuri Major Who Chose Death Over Serving The British|url=https://www.thebetterindia.com/155484/paona-brajabashi-manipuri-major-british-freedom-struggle/|access-date=2021-04-23|website=The Better India|language=en-US}}</ref><br />
