Abstract

Tripura, an ancient state in Northeast India with rich traditions, has its long history since the ancient period. The significant book called ‘Rajmala’ detailed the historical discourses about Tripura. According to Rajmala, King Tripura was born into the Chandra dynasty and the state derived its name from him. The tale of King Yayati’s son Druha and the Rajasuya yagna is likely mythical. India being a free country signed an agreement called ‘The Tripura Merger Agreement’ in 1949 and as a result of the Agreement Tripura joined the Indian Union on certain conditions. After the joining of Tripura to the Indian union a new beginning regarding the nature of state politics came to light in the form of ‘autonomy movements’ for ensuring the rights of the aboriginal people. Moreover, Tripura is situated near the East Pakisthan now Bangladesh. As we know that on 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War was took place and therefore millions of people were migrated in Tripura. As a result the indigenous peoples or tribal people were minority in their own land. Therefore the indigenous people started their movement or agitation against the migrated people to protect their land, culture and their rights. The insurgency problem was a common issue for Tripura and developmental programme was very slow in Tripura. The present study focus on History of Tripura known to un known facts.
