Tripura is one of the smallest states in the North-eastern region of India. The land is covered with mountains, hills, and valleys. The first settlers were the Kokborok speaking people. Scholars say that Kokborok is a Sino-Tibetan language that originated from the Dimasa language. It has been mentioned in Rajmala that after a long period of peaceful relationship with Kachari Dimasa, the then King came to Tripura and widened his kingdom here. Tripura shares its borders on three sides with Bangladesh, Assam and Mizoram in the east. If we look at the history of this country, we can say that Jhum cultivation has been part of Tiprasa culture. People those days survived on Jhum cultivation. Some of the crops grown in the Jhum fields were sweet potatoes, bamboo shoot, turmeric, ginger, wild potatoes, tapioca (Tha), mushrooms etc.
