- The Centre recently signed a tripartite agreement with the Tripura government and the state’s main opposition party, the TIPRA Motha.
- This is signed for a time-bound “honourable resolution” of the long-pending demands of the state’s tribal population, including economic, political, land, linguistic and cultural rights.
- It has put an end to the indefinite fast-unto-death started by TIPRA Motha founder and Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma.
- The Tipra Motha’s demands include a “Greater Tipraland” — a separate state for Tripura’s tribals.
- It seeks to include those living outside the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) area as well.
- The party has sought more powers for the TTAADC, including direct funding from the Centre, its own police force, and share of revenue from gas exploration in the state.
- It also wants the Roman script to be declared as the official script for the indigenous Kokborok language.
