Manipur is known for its unique mosaic of ethnic diversity and geographical features. It also states that the history of humankind, primitive or civilised, dealt with their battle for existence.

Preface

Many scholars and experts have studied and explored various various facets of socio-cultural and political dimensions ✓of Manipur through a historical perspective. Unfortunately, many of these studies have failed to provide an in-depth perspective on the state's economic history, which is an essential component for capturing the holistic view of the people of Manipur. In this view, this book attempted to examine the historical perspective of the economic system in Manipur during the Medieval period. Manipur is known for its unique mosaic of ethnic diversity and geographical features. It is also stated that the history of humankind, primitive or civilised dealt with their battle for existence. The changing processes and evolution from the barbaric way of dwelling to civilisation were the possessions of their consecutive and nonstop efforts and struggles of living. The book's central theme revolved around various economic activities like agricultural production and land use; industry and manufactures; pottery; salt manufacturing; yu or rice beer; boat manufacture and trade and commerce and its associated problems and prospects.

It further examines the various forms of production and exchange in medieval Manipur, including agrarian, pastoral, fishing, hunting, craft, and associated products and things created and traded through these modes of production. Thus, the study's core objective is to map the production of a diverse range of things in their broader context(s) and to explain their evolution through time by accounting for the introduction of new modes of production and innovations, as well as its ebbs and tides.
