Maibam Lotpa Ching[1] or Red Hills is a historical site of World War II, in Nambol, Bishnupur district of Manipur, India. The site is a small hillock about 17 Kms south of Imphal City on Tiddim Road (NH-150). A fierce battle was fought at the site between the Allied Forces and the Japanese Forces during World War II. Japanese war veterans constructed a monument at the foot of this hill and it is significantly named "India Peace Memorial". There is a cemetery in the foothills, which houses the tombs of the Japanese soldiers who died in the war.[2] [3]
Imphal Peace Museum
[edit ]A war museum is also built which houses a collection of rare war items and relics including the weapon materials used by the soldiers during the war.[2]
Commemoration
[edit ]Every year, many Japanese and British visit the site to pay homage to their ancestors who lost their lives here in the war for their motherland.[4]
