Today we immortalized Ka Phan Nonglait on her 175th death anniversary and her daunting contribution in resisting the force of the mighty British empire. Let her story inspire our generation to withstand the onslaught of foreign attempts to influence and colonized and let her story be a testament of true courage and valour.
N.B: The background in the picture is the Phan Nonglait Falls .
One of the most captivating accounts of Ka Phan Nonglait’s bravery took place during an ambush at Langstiehrim. During a scorching summer, British troops moved from Mairang village towards Nongkhlaw, unwittingly walking into a trap set by U Tirot Sing’s men. Exhausted from the heat, the British soldiers paused to rest by a waterfall. Seizing the moment, Ka Phan Nonglait approached them with refreshments, a gesture that disarmed their suspicions. As the soldiers relaxed, she discreetly removed their weapons and concealed them under a rock hole by the waterfall. This act of bravery allowed U Tirot Sing’s forces to attack and capture the unarmed British troops. To this day, the weapons are believed to remain hidden beneath the rock, and the waterfall is named ‘The Phan Nonglait Falls’ in her honour.
Ka Phan Nonglait’s legacy is a testament to the indomitable spirit of The Khasi people. She passed away on December 6, 1850, in her village of Nongrmai in Eastern West Khasi Hills after a prolonged illness
