Religion
The pre-historic religion of the Kakchings prior to their arrival at Uripok can not be traced, but it can definitely be counted that they adopted the meitei religion before their conversion into Hinduism. In describing the Kakching Lois, Capt. E.W.Dun in his book, Gazetteer of Manipur (page 129) had quoted the writings of Sir James Johnstone in connection with their religion,
"..they were Lois but now called themseleves Hindoos, having sometime since 1867 been adopted into the Hindoo community by the Rajah, and they give themselves all the airs of Hindoos!"
The people of Kakching Khunou also worship "Ibudhou Khamlangba" and "Ibudhou Sekmai Ningthou" as their Umanglai (Forest God) which are the symbols of iron.
Religions: Hindu, Meetei/Meitei, Christian etc.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“Those to whom God has imparted religion by feeling of the heart are very fortunate and are rightly convinced. But to those who do not have it, we can give it only by reasoning, waiting for God to give it by feeling of the heart—without which faith is only human and useless for salvation.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
