Today the 17th of July, which is Tirot Sing Day, we read the chapter "Tirot Singh and His Contemporaries" from the book 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢: 𝘜 𝘛𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘩 (1984) written by Dr Hamlet Bareh Ngapkynta.


This chapter talks about the other kings who were living at the same time with u Syiem Tirot Sing and how they lent their help and support to him during the resistance against the British empire.


It is interesting and also sad to know about the kingdoms of the Khasi-Jaiñtia kings in those days, which extended to the state of Assam in the north and the country of Bangladesh in the south.
