Meitei Christians

A Meitei Christian or Christian Meitei is a person who belongs to Meitei ethnic group and follows  Christianity as their faith. There are very few Meitei Christians in Manipur and other Manipuri settlements of the world. 

Unlike the other indigenous communities of Manipur, who are all tribesmen communities, the Meitei people embraced Christianity not with any form of imposition but by willing decisions. The first person to baptize is believed to be a lady "Ningol Kaboklei", in the year 1893, when she met a Christian missionary in Sylhet, Bangladesh.
