Tripura is situated in the Northeastern region of India. It shares an international boundary with Bangladesh and a state boundary with Assam and Mizoram. Tripura was ruled by the Manikya dynasty for centuries, even after the occupation of India by British Manikya monarchs continued their rule. It was after the merger of Tripura with the Indian Union in 1949 marked the end of the Monarchy in Tripura. At the beginning of the twentieth century with the strengthening of the anti-British movement for self-rule in the British provinces in various parts of the Indian subcontinent, the people of Tripura also wanted to set up a responsible government chosen by people of Tripura. This movement for setting up of responsible movement in Tripura began during the rule of Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya, the last Maharaja of Tripura. He tried to democratize and decentralize Tripura’s administration but his untimely death ruined all his plans. The independence of India and the subsequent merger of Tripura aroused the hopes of the people of Tripura for a responsible government but it does not happen as expected. Then people of Tripura started the struggle for it and after two decades since its merger with Indian Union, it was fulfilled with the grant of statehood on 21st January 1972. In this paper, I tried to present a vivid sketch of the role played by different political associations in this movement. It also attempts to provide information about the major administrative changes which happened in Tripura before it became a state under Indian Union.
