Abstract

The Bamon (Manipuri Brahman) form a part of Manipuri society. Manipuri Brahmans are somehow different from Brahmans in other parts of the country. One possible reason for such a difference is that when they started inhabiting in this tiny State they imbibed many of the traditions and culture of the local dominant community, the Meeteis, on the other they are the offspring of Brahman migrants and local women of Manipur valley. This article counters the arguments that great expansion of Muslim in India and stability of Manipur valley facilitated the people of neighbouring countries to enter into Manipur, so number of migrants especially the Brahmans in Manipur grew substantially. It is also found that the requirements of the state endorse the Brahmans migration in Manipur.
