Tripura - At a Glance of Naval and Maritime Historical Concern Dr.Nirmal Bhadra Associate Professor Swami Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya Mohanpur, Tripura, India Contact-No-9862973971 Email- nirmalbhadra70@gmail.com This paper studies about the naval expeditions, migration, trade and commerce of the North Eastern state of Tripura in connection with the Maritime history of the state from the extreme part of the 14th century to the British rule in India. It also attempts to make a focused study on the consequences of the influx of naval expeditions made by the kings of Tripura as well as by the colonial imperialism. In present day talking about naval and maritime activities with regards to the state is legendary as there is no continuity with any waterway and sea route. The Bay of Bengal is about 60 to 80 kilometers away from the extreme south point of the state. However, Tripura is a state of great antiquity and chequered history in this regard. It is really a difficult job to discuss the maritime history of Tripura throughout the ages because of the great scarcity of data and scholars� attention. Now present work aims at unraveling the myth.
