On October 15, 1949, the state of Tripura, which had previously been a princely state, became a "C" category state and became part of the Indian Territory. The beginning of the 1950s marked the beginning of this state's transition to having a majority population composed of tribal people. The migration of non-tribal people over the border from Bangladesh, which was once a part of East Pakistan, caused a shift in the demographic makeup of the state after the partition of India. There are 19 different tribes in Tripura, in addition to a non-tribal community. It has Tripuri, Reang, Jamatia, Chakma, Lusai, Mog, Garo, Kuki, Chaimal, Uchai, Hala,,Khasia, Bhutia, Munda, Orang, Lepcha, Santal, Bhil and Noatia. As of the census taken in 2001, the population of scheduled tribes was 9,93,426, up from 8,53,345 (30.95 percent) in the census taken in 1991. The total number of scheduled tribe men and females was 5,04,320 and 4,89,106, respectively, according to the census taken in 2001.However, the primary emphasis of this research is placed on the indigenous knowledge and practises of the ethnic communities of Tripura, which the people of these communities have been incorporating into their day-to-day lives. In addition, the study will shed some light on the role that tribal women play in the performance of these practices.
