Armed militia organisation in Manipur, India
Arambai Tenggol ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
Arambai Tenggol is a Meitei activist organisation in the Indian state of Manipur founded by Manipur's titular king and Rajya Sabha member Leishemba Sanajaoba,
who also remains as its chairman.
Arambai Tenggol has been described as a radical organisation, or as a radicalised armed militia. It is also a revivalist organisation that aims to reestablish the pre-Hindu, native Sanamahi religion among the Meiteis. It enjoys the patronage of the titular king Leishemba Sanajaoba as well as the former chief minister N. Biren Singh. During the 2023–2025 Manipur violence, members of the Kuki-Zo community blamed it for having carried out deadly attacks against them. In January 2024, the organisation demonstrated its influence by summoning all the elected Meitei legislators of the state for a meeting to deliberate on the defence of Meiteis in the prevailing conflict.
