The historical background of Tripura State, Nobody can deny that point to the merger with Indian Union on 15th October, 1949 that Tripura was princely an independent state being ruled as many as 184 Maharaja (Kings) belonging to the Indigenous Borok/Tipra over the centuries that after merger, the Borok peoples of Tripura had high hoped and aspirations in Indian Union that their political right socio-economic right ,cultural right and educational right could be safeguarded but unfortunately all their dreams shattered .After the partitioned of the Indian sub continual (1947) and subsequent merger of Tripura with the Indian Union ,there has been continuous influx of foreign nationals into the state particularly the Bengali Hindus from erstwhile East Pakistan, now Bangladesh .There were no protective measures taken either by the state or the central government to prevent the process of continuous influx of immigrants into the state .In fact, the process of influx of immigrants is still continuing till date. And this is the crux of the problem of Twipra (Tripura) which is also infecting to other parts of the country like the flowing of water. Due to this fact the, the prevailing situations of Tripura are always related to the past historical background of the state. Geographical Facts Bounded on one side by Assam and Mizoram, Twipra is a hills thumb of the land just, 10,491 sq.km sharing 80% of the border with Bangladesh. Over the last six decades, this geographical factor has played a significant role .During the period between 1931-1951 alone ,while the population of the Bengalis grew by about 3 lakhs, that of the Indigenous peoples saw on increase of just 30,000.Since then the process has continued unabated .The indigenous peoples, who accounted for 95% of the population of Twipra in the 1931 census, have been reduced to a mere 31% in the 1991 census mainly due to influx .Needles to say ,such a dramatic changed in the demographic profile of the state has had wide ranging socio-economic, political and cultural implications for its people. Hence, the Borok people have becomes poorer and poorer day by day having no political and economic powers in their hand. Since1997,16th February, the Disturbed Areas Act was again imposed in Tripura and at least 27 police stations out of the 45 police stations were brought under the Act only in the Borok inhabited areas. Gang raped and killed, mass killing, extra judicial killing, custodian deaths and looting committed by the security personnel (Stat and central) upon the innocent Borok peoples. Some of Indian Armed Forces deployed in the Disturbed Areas for counter insurgency operations are as follows: It is worth to mention that the situation prevailing peace in Tripura, but still TSR battalion is increasing up to 15th battalions.

It is pointed out that due to the deprivation, suppression and exploitation in the hands of foreign nationals or due to Governments negligence, the Indigenous peoples or the Borok peoples of Twipra are still under developed. The latest census 2011 shows that the Borok peoples constitutes only 26% of the total populations of the state .So, the very existence of the Indigenous peoples or the Borok peoples is being threatened .Some of the security laws like the Tripura security Act 1980 and Act 2000 and Armed Forces Special Act 1958 applied in counter insurgency operations in Twipra had given tremendous bad impact upon the civilian life of Indigenous Borok peoples in the state. Another significant development is that every year there is a chronic under in the hill areas and hundreds of indigenous peoples use to die due to malnutrition and malaria, etc. In long ran, malnutrition reduced the body resistance and easily caught by malaria and diarrhea .This year alone more than 150 indigenous peoples had died till date mostly children. Besides, due to poverty indigenous people committed suicide by either hanging or taking poison. This is the plight of the Indigenous people of Twipra as a whole and not to talk of marginalization and others deprivation of constitutional rights
