Tikendrajit Singh (29 December 1856 – 13 August 1891), also known as Koireng, was a crown prince of Kangleipak (Meitei for 'Manipur kingdom') in present-day northeastern India, which was a protectorate of British Raj at that time.[1] Tikendrajit was the commander of the Manipuri army and engineered a palace revolution that led to the events known as the Anglo-Manipur War of 1891 or the Manipur Expedition.[2][3]
