Kwakta Lamjel (The Race At Kwakta) Adapted from the Meitei folk ballad known as the “Khamba Thoibi Ballad” (better known as the Moirang Sai) in the “Pena Sheishak” style of the folk ballads (Meitei: Khunnung Eeshei) sung by minstrels with the Pena (musical instrument). It is based on the popular Manipuri poem/folk tale of princess Thoibi and Khamba (Khamba Thoibi Sheireng) which was developed and completed in 1940 by Hijam Anganghal Singh. This section is about the race between Khamba and Nongban. Nongban, so far, undefeated in race, wrestling and hockey tries to retain his position using unfair means but Khamba wins the race and the hearts of his people.
