Question 3504
The Greater Tipraland, sometimes seen in the news, in the context of which state?
Answer
Tripura
Why?
Explanation: Greater Tipraland’ is essentially an extension of the ruling tribal partner IPFT’s demand of Tipraland, which sought a separate state for tribals of Tripura . The new demand seeks to include every tribal person living in an indigenous area or village outside the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) under the proposed model. However, the idea doesn’t restrict to simply the Tripura tribal council areas but seeks to include ‘Tiprasa’ of Tripuris spread across different states of India like Assam, Mizoram, etc. as well, even those living in Bandarban, Chittagong, Khagrachari, and other bordering areas of neighbouring Bangladesh.
