The Kingdom of Kangleipak was established by King Loiyumba | {{Main|Antique Kangleipak}} | ||
The Kingdom of Kangleipak was established by [[Tangja Leela Pakhangba]]. He was succeeded by [[Ningthou Kangba]], the inventor of the [[polo]] ([[Sagol Kangjei]]) and then [[Maliyapham Palcha]], the inventor of the [[Meitei calendar]]. Many rulers successively ascended the throne of the antique realm. | |||

The zenith of the Kangleipak State was reached under the rule of King [[Khagemba]] (1597–1652). Khagemba's brother Prince Shalungba was not happy about Khagemba's rule so he fled to the [[Sylhet region]] where he allied with [[Bengali Muslim]] leaders. With a contingent of [[Sylhetis|Sylheti]] soldiers, Shalungba then attempted to invade Manipur but the soldiers were captured and made to work as labourers in Manipur. These soldiers married local [[Meitei people| Meitei women]] and adapted to the [[Meitei language]]. They introduced [[hookah]] to Manipur and founded the [[Pangal]] or Manipuri Muslim community.<ref name=back>{{cite book|first=Rajmohan|last=Nath|title=The back-ground of Assamese culture|page=[https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.126984/page/n137 90]|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.126984|year=1948|publisher=A.
