Tripura’s accomplishments in advancing human development have many distinguishing features which separate it out from much of the rest of India. An understanding of the special successes of Tripura is important for the people of Tripura, but – going beyond that – there are lessons here for the rest of India in appreciating what this small state has been able to achieve, particularly given the adverse circumstances that had to be overcome. Among the adversities that had to be addressed, perhaps the most important is the gigantic influx of refugees into this tiny state at the time of the partition of India in 1947 and again during the turmoil in East Pakistan preceding the formation of Bangladesh in 1971.

  • The BJP, Ideology and Electoral Politics in Tripura Biplab Debnath Assistant Professor, Dept
    International Journal of Innovative Studies in Sociology and Humanities (IJISSH) ISSN 2456-4931 (Online) www.ijissh.org Volume: 3 Issue: 7 | July 2018 The BJP, Ideology and Electoral Politics in Tripura Biplab Debnath Assistant Professor, Dept. of Political Science, Tripura University, Tripura, India Abstract: The article examines the factors behind the expeditious rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tripura, the tiny North-eastern State of India in which the party had a negligible presence since Tripura’s emergence as state. The paper highlights the party’s political strategy in the state in successfully countering the strong left bastion at the height of its electoral presence for more than two decades. The paper however argues unlike other cases of mainland India, ideology was not a significant element in BJP’s electoral success in the case of Tripura, and therefore its future success will depend upon a fine balancing act of managing its alliance as well as effective handling of the key socio- economic determinants that lies at the heart of state politics. Keywords: Tripura, elections, BJP, CPIM, Hindutva, ideology, Marxism. In February 2018 Assemble Elections in Tripura, The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in alliance with the Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT) achieved an unprecedented victory over the left government of CPIM bringing curtains to their 25 years rule in the state. Following his party's stupendous achievement, in replacing what is still widely recognised as a leftist fortress in an otherwise negligible national presence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made two notable remarks. One was the significance of the victory, even in an electorally marginal state of Tripura, for BJP's national stature.

  • Tripura Nov. 14-11-18.P65
    Introduction Since March 3, 2018, as the announcement of results for the Assembly elections in Tripura confirmed that the CPI(M)-led Left Front is being unseated from the state government by the BJP- IPFT opportunistic alliance, a wave of widespread fascistic attacks were unleashed against the CPI(M) cadres and offices by the RSS- BJP. These attacks continue even today. These attacks have many dimensions. At one level, there is an outright brutal murder of CPI(M) workers. At another level, CPI(M) offices have been burnt or forcefully captured. At yet another level, the homes of CPI(M) workers have been attacked, burnt and looted. Post the formation of the BJP-IPFT government, physical attacks on CPI(M) workers and the constant vigilance on their activities continue with the patronage of the State administration and the law and order machinery to enforce that CPI(M) workers desist from participation in any political activity. This has resulted in an unprecedented situation of terror and violence in the state. As a consequence, in the recent by-elections to local bodies, 96 per cent of the seats were won uncontested by the BJP as the opposition candidates were violently prevented from filing their nomination. Yet another level, there are attacks on CPI(M) workers and families aimed to eliminate their livelihood and to economically incapacitate them. Many such horrendous attacks on the homes of CPI(M) 1 workers take place when little children witness, traumatising them supporters. The traditional ‘jhum’ cultivators as well as rubber for life. Many families have been forced to shift from their homes plantation workers are forcibly displaced and fisheries run by Left for safety, disrupting all activities of the family and the education of Front supporters have been destroyed.

Bamboo Flowering ● The ‘gregarious flowering of bamboo’ inside the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS) may pose a threat to wildlife in the Nilgiri biosphere. ● The bamboo groves in the Wayanad forest are the mainstay of herbivores in the Nilgiri biosphere during summer. ● The gregarious flowering may adversely affect migration of lower herbivores owing to the mass destruction of bamboo groves after the flowering. ● The farmers living near the sanctuary fear that the destruction of bamboo groves may worsen the increasing man-animal conflict. ● The bamboo flowering is considered a bad omen in several northeastern states of India, especially when accompanied by an increase in rodent population.

  • IPFT Puts Pet Tipraland Demand on the Backburner
    VISHNUIAS.COM WE PROVIDE A PATH FOR YOUR SUCCESS ANTHROPOLOGY SNIPPET-298 (Welcome To Vishnu IAS online ) (Research and Training Institute for the best civil services preparation in India) http://vishnuias.com/ 1 IPFT puts pet Tipraland demand on the backburner What is Greater Tipraland? ‗Greater Tipraland‘ is essentially an extension of the ruling tribal partner Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura – 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 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 2 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. For the first time since its inception, the Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT) is not focusing on its pet Tipraland demand in the campaign for the elections to the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council. The regional party, which had created a sentiment among the tribal masses with Tipraland (separate state for indigenous people) and other contentious issues, is now speaking words of harmony and need of bonding among the communities. The changes in the IPFT‘s style of politics came after it backed out from an electoral understanding with the TIPRA (Tipraha Indigenous People‘s Regional Alliance) last month and was compelled to tie up with the BJP — its senior ally in the State‘s coalition government.

Background on CPI(M) In a telephone interview with the Research Directorate, a professor of political science at Indiana University, who specializes in Indian politics and security, stated that CPI(M) is "the dominant Communist party" in India, especially in West Bengal (Professor 5 Feb. 2016). Similarly, the International Business Times (IB Times), a digital global news publication that covers business, economic, political and technological issues (IB Times n.d.), reports that CPI(M) is "the largest of India's far-left parties" (IB Times 4 Oct. 2014). According to the Political Handbook of the World (PHW), the CPI(M) was organized in 1964 by "'leftist' deserters" from the Communist Party of India (CPI) who favoured a "more radical line" and who took with it the majority of CPI members when it broke away (PHW 2015, 645-646).
