About Iwanthaba
Meidingu Hemtou Iwanthaba or mononymously Iwanthaba was a king of the Ningthouja dynasty of Medieval Manipur who ruled from 1162 CE to 1194 CE. He became the king after he banished his elder brother Atom Yoiremba for trying to introduce primogeniture in the kingdom.
During his reign, the Queen of the Khumans was killed, so all the Khumans were angry and attacked the Meitei kingdom but were defeated. In the battle, about thirty people were captured by the Meiteis with some who fled their homes and some who were killed.
