Role of Tripura Upajati Juba Samity (TUJS) for the Formation of Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) under Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution
Mainul Islam
Abstract: Once upon a time the tribal's were majority in Tripura. But due to migration of Bengali people from Bangladesh the tribal's became minority. Therefore, the last king of Tripura Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur reserved 2060 sq. Km land for 5 tribal groups to protect tribal interest. But, the State government dissolved the 'reserved land' in 1974. Moreover, the Bangladesh liberation war held in 1971 caused a huge migration to the State. Therefore, the TUJS came forward and demanded to restore 'reserve land' and to form Autonomous body for the Protection of the tribal people of the State. Finally, due to their movement, Tripura got TTAADC under Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution in 1985. The paper has followed on both Primary and Secondary sources of data.
