The former princely state of Tripura was ruled by Maharajas of
Manikya dynasty. It was an independent administrative unit under the
Maharaja even during the British rule in India, though this independence
was qualified, being subject to the recognition of the British, as the
paramount power of each successive ruler.
As per Rajmala, the royal chronology of Tripura, a total of 184 kings
ruled over the state before it merged with the Indian Union on October
15 1949. Since then the history of Tripura has been interspersed with
various political, economical and social developments. On January 26,
1950 Tripura was accorded the status of a ‘C’ category state and on
November 1, 1956, it was recognized as a Union Territory. It gained full
statehood on January 21, 1972, as per the North-East Reorganisation
Act, 1971.
