Template:Short description Template:Infobox RoyaltyTemplate:Kingdom of Manipur Chitshai, also known as Ajit Sai, Ugut Shah, Chit Sain, Chitsai, and Kelemba, was a Meitei ruler who reigned over Manipur from 1748 to 1751. He was a son of King Pamheiba (Gharib Niwaz).[1]

Reign

According to historical accounts, Chitshai ascended the throne of Manipur in 1748 after allegedly assassinating his father and his elder brother on the banks of the Brahmaputra.[2][3] His reign, lasting until 1751, was marked by internal strife and political turmoil.[4]

Conflict and expulsion

Chitshai's rule was soon challenged by his brother, who expelled him in 1751.[4][5] After being ousted, Chitshai sought support from the British East India Company in Chittagong, but they did not offer assistance.[4]
