Here lies the remain of those soldiers who died fighting in the infamous 'Battle of Kohima' during the 2nd World War. The Kohima War Cemetery is built on the slopes of Garrison Hill where the final battle was fought till reinforcements arrived.

After a period of anarchy, the Buddhist Pala dynasty ruled the region for four hundred years, followed by a shorter reign of the Hindu Sena dynasty. Islam was introduced to Bengal in the 12th century by Arab Muslim merchants; Sufi missionaries and subsequent Muslim conquests helped spread Islam throughout the region.
