The fictional story revolves around the protagonist of the story, Philamazan is the last princess of a royal family of a non-descript tribal community of a small province of India situated at the North Eastern part of the country. Any similarity with the character is mere coincidence only.
The girl who inspires me to write this fictitious story is also a 'Philamazan' who was born to a royal family of Ukhrul district of Manipur, a small province of India situated at the North Eastern part of the country.
I met this lovely girl of 23 a few months' back when I was on an official tour to Agartala. As an ordinary Indian, I was fascinated to know about her after knowing that she is a princess. Her name means the last princess. Inquisitively, I asked her, why she is the last princess and why her daughter will not be a princess. She explained me in few words like this, 'A king can marry a number of wives and he may have children from all the wives. But only eldest son of the first wife will be the king after death of his father. The children of other wives will be also prince and princess of the clan. However, descendants of those princes and princesses will ceased to be the prince and princess after the next one generation. The youngest among the princess will be named as Philamazan, the last princess.'
