Tripura, a tiny and hilly state, is situated in the north-eastern region of India. Tripura lies to the south-west of Assam and to the east of Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan. The Tripuri dynasty ruled this ancient kingdom for several centuries and at last merged with India in 1949. The Population of Tripura is heterogeneous. Varied ethnic factors can be traced in it. Natives of almost all region of India are found here. The Bengalees and the Scheduled Tribe people constitute the two major ethnic groups of Tripura, making the major part of the population. The state is densely populated. Tripura is a homeland of different tribes. Altogether there are 19(nineteen) tribes in the state, which made Tripura a land of ethnic diversity.
