Bordered by Bangladesh on three sides, Tripura serves as a key node for cross-border cultural and economic interactions. Covering 10,491 square kilometers, it ranks 27th in India by area. According to the 2011 Census, Tripura has a population of over 3.6 million. Agartala, situated near the western border, serves as the state\u2019s capital and administrative center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also Read:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theiashub.com\/upsc\/?p=2906&amp;preview=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operation Sindoor<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Historical_Background_of_Tripura\"><\/span><b>Historical Background of Tripura<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tripura\u2019s history is steeped in myth and legend, with roots going back to ancient times and mentions in the Mahabharata and Puranas.

The monarchy continued during British colonial rule under the system of a princely state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tripura acceded to the Indian Union on 15 October 1949. It became a Union Territory and was later granted full statehood on 21 January 1972.
