Patriots Day is observed in the Indian state of Manipur every year on August 13. This official holiday commemorates the memory of Manipuri commanders who were executed for their roles in the Anglo-Manipur War against British colonial forces. The day marks the anniversary of the public execution of Tikendrajit Singh and four other commanders in 1891, following the war that resulted in the British annexation of Manipur. The holiday is characterized by remembrance ceremonies held throughout the state, honoring those who died in the conflict or were executed afterward. Additionally, it is one of two official holidays in Manipur related to the war, alongside Khongjom Day, which is observed on April 23.
