This is very curious question by people from Manipur to us.
Myself born and broad up in Cachar District, of Assam state.Presently working in Bangalore.When I moved to Banglore I met many people from Manipur from variuos ethnic groups like Meitei, Pangals, Tribes etc.They are very curious about us like either our relatives, properties are in Manipur or nt.Whether we temporarily settled in Cachar or nt.
Here I am giving appropriate answer by the same curious question. I have given summery History of How did Muslim settle in Manipur on last post. Therefore in 1606 AD Manipur king Khagemba Meidingu Maharaj allowed to Muslim to settle permanently in Manipur.Muslims are allowed to marry with Meitei women and termed the community as "Pangal ".Since than the community accepted Manipuri as Mother tongue. During 1800 AD when livelihood become hard for existance in Manipur, Pangal started searched better livelihood outside of Manipur.But onething is remind that those settled down outside of Manipur doesnt represents the whole Pangal or Manipuri (Meitei) Community.They are less that 4-5% of overall population of Manipur.
During 1819-1825 AD so called,"Chahi Tareth Khunthakpa", the Awa Kingdom (Presently Myanmar ) declared war against Manipur Kingdom.The Awa Army has ruined Manipur like Murder, torture, Burn the Houses, Hang till death etc.To get rid of the same war People of Manipur forced to migrate to neighboring states.When Awa army moved from Manipur, the displaced People again settled down in Manipur.But few people of Manipuri Community of 4-5% (Meitei and Pangal) hasn't back to Manipur.
The Pangal community those migrated to outside of Manipur during Awa war and better livelihood on the same period are as follows:
Cachar, Hailakandi, Hojai districts of Assam, Tripura State, Nagaland state, Bangladesh and Myanmar etc.
