Memorial of Manipur's freedom fighters is situated at Cheirao Ching, a hill at Thangmeiband in Imphal, Manipur.

Bir Tikendrajit, Crowned Prince of Manipur and Thangal General were hanged by the British in 1891A.D. following Manipur's defeat at the hands of the British in the Anglo-Manipuri War of 1891 A.D.

The war which broke out in 1891 (popularly known as Anglo-Manipur war) was a short but important struggle between Manipur, a tiny hilly Asiatic country and the world's mightiest empire. In fact, it was a contest between unequal powers. The war had marked the ending of an era and the introducing of a new one in the history of Manipur; Manipur had lost her sovereign and independent status and new rule of the British had established in this little kingdom.
