“Polo can be traced to origins in Manipur state c. 3100 BC when it was played as Sagol Kangjei. Other claims are of it being of Persian origin, having been played as Pulu c. 525 BC.”
“It has been recorded that Manipur was a sovereign country ruled out by its monarch and having had its own two millennia old cultural framework through well developed literary language, rich cultural heritage, customs and traditions, rites and rituals which provides a living testimony to its birth and rise of Manipuri civilization.”

Manipur is a state in northeastern India, with Imphal as its capital city. It borders the Indian states of Assam to the west, Mizoram to the south, and Nagaland to the north and shares the international border with Myanmar, specifically the Sagaing Region to the east and Chin State to the southeast. Covering an area of 22,330 square kilometers, the state consists mostly of hilly terrain with the 1813-square-kilometre Imphal Valley inhabited by the Meitei (Manipuri) community, historically a kingdom. Surrounding hills are home to Naga and Kuki-Zo communities, who speak Tibeto-Burman languages. The official language and lingua franca, Meitei (Manipuri), also belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family.
