Greater Tipraland

Several tribal groups in Tripura have joined hands to push their demand for a separate state, Greater Tipraland for indigenous communities in the region.

The demand for a separate state is due to following reasons-

  • Indigenous communities have been reduced to a minority.
  • Ethnic conflict and insurgency
  • Indigenous people have been dislodged from land reserved for them
  • Economic and social unviability
  • Governance deficit
  • concentration of power
  • corruption
  • administrative inefficiency
