What’s common between Bishnupriya Manipuris and the Meities? Why there are similarities
Culturally the Meiteis and the Bishnupriya Manipuris cannot be distinguished from each other. As to religion it goes without saying that these two sections have formed a unique religion. The Bishnupriya Manipuris accepted all the prominent Gods of the Meiteis, namely Sorarel, Pahangpa ,Senamahi , Apokpa and others, just as the Meiteis adopted numerous Hindu Gods. As the next step when the Vaishnavism of Sri Chaitanya entered Manipur, all these two sections, excepting some spurious cases, adopted the religion. This religion brought a radical change in the Manipuri Society and both the Meiteis and the Bishnupriya Manipuris were equally influenced by it.
