Loyumba Shinyen

See also: Magna Carta

The Loyumba Shinyen (Old Manipuri: Loyumpa Shinyen), also termed as the Loyamba Sinyen (Old Manipuri: Loyampa Sinyen), is an 11th-12th century written constitution, regulated in the Manipur kingdom during the regime of King Loyumba (1074 AD-1112 AD).[1] A promulgation of the proto-constitution in 429 AD by King Naophangba was reduced to a final format in 1100 AD.[2][3][4] Historically, it is the first written constitution,[5] and one of the well recorded antique manuscripts of the kingdom.[6][7] Its Constitutionalism was replaced by the Manipur State Constitution Act, 1947, that was functional until Manipur was merged into India on October 15, 1949.[8]
