Tipraland

Tipraland is the name of a proposed state in India, proposed by the Tipra people of Tripura. The Twipra Kingdom is a former country which was ruled by 184 Tripuri/Tipra kings. The last king was Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur Debbarma. After his death in 1946, Twipra kingdom joined India as a Union Territory on 15 October 1949 under the name Tripura, and later achieved statehood.

From that time onwards many Bengali Hindus and Muslims immigrated to Tripura, and slowly took political power from the Tipras. As the political and economic power shifted to the immigrants, the very existence of the Tipra people and their culture was jeopardized.

The indigenous Tipra people demanded an autonomous district, which they finally achieved on 23 March 1979. However, the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) was unable to protect the rights of the indigenous Tipra and other tribal communities. The Tipra people feel it has become clear that without full governmental power, the indigenous Tipra people cannot survive. Thus the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura, a regional political party under the leadership of N.C. Debbarma, has advocated for converting the TTAADC area into a full-fledged state.
