This Land Was Never Owned — How Ancient Manipur Defined Power, Soil, and Identity

Описание: Was land ever truly “owned” in ancient civilizations?
Long before modern property laws, paperwork, and land titles, ancient Manipur (Kangleipak) followed a radically different idea of land, power, and identity. In this documentary-style episode of Factual Fusion, we explore how soil was once considered sacred, how kings ruled as trustees rather than owners, and how labor, belief, and land were inseparably linked through systems like Lallup, Umang Lai, and Sanamahi traditions.

This video uncovers how colonial rule shattered an indigenous land philosophy and replaced it with rigid ownership, surveys, and taxation—creating conflicts and identity struggles that continue even today. If you think land is just property, this story will challenge everything you assume about power, belonging, and history.

🔹 Watch till the end—because missing even a few seconds means missing the real reason this system disappeared.

📌 Why this matters today:
Land disputes, hill–valley tensions, identity politics, and environmental loss cannot be understood without knowing how land was once viewed—not as a commodity, but as a living inheritance.

Was the ancient service-based land system more just than modern private ownership?
