Expansion during the rule of Aurangzeb in the Mughal Empire.

January 1598: In 1597, the vassals of Mainpur had broken away from the Kingdom of Manipur, either legally or in practice. This event marked a significant shift in the political landscape of the region during that time.
January 1810: In 1809 Tripura became a British protectorate and in 1838 the Rajas of Tripura were recognised by the British as sovereigns.
Disestablishment
January 1896: Due to the remoteness of the relatively inaccessible mountain country, Mizoram remained outside the focus of world politics for a long time and the population lived in small tribal communities without forming larger state associations. After the Chin-Lushai Expedition, the Mizo tribes submitted completely. The Mizo Hills formally became part of British India in 1895.
