The '1947 Partition of India' is a heart-breaking and undesirable fact of history before the vision of undivided India. In consequence of the 'Partition of India', two independent and sovereign countries emerged. Basically, the Hindu dominated provinces gave birth to India whereas the Muslim dominated provinces gave birth to Pakistan. Besides the entire country, the then princely hilly state Tripura was also greatly touched due this fact. Khowai of Tripura (presently Khowai Dist.) was not an exceptional in this reference. Tripura witnessed several changes in Socio; Political; and Economical spheres after as well as before the Partition. At the analysis of Khowai Dist. it is noticed that the major part of this dist. is adjacent to the East-Pakistan border. Such a situation of Khowai Dist was more serious and sensitive in reference to the scenario of that time. On the eve of the Partition of India, there's a mix and enriched culture noticeably sprouted. During the Partition and on the basis of community, various castes belonging to Tribal and Non-tribal people existed here. Again, on the basis of Religion, both the Hindu and Muslim communities of people prominently used to live in this princely state. But due to the Partition, there's a variation noticed in population. It's because, a significant number of refugees touched the land of Tripura and scattered through-out the different provinces of Khowai Dist. for the sake of survival. As a result, an awkward situation turned up for these displaced people. Evidently, there's a sudden increase in the Bengali population comparing to the people belonging to the Tribal community. The local and indigenous tribal culture started to lose its lustre and shrank to the edge. At the same time, the Bengali community was becoming influential. During this time, a political turmoil erupted and discontentment increased as far as the right of the Tribal community is concerned. Economic reform and rehabilitation favoring the Refugees gave rise to a big problem. The problem of unemployment stirred a serious issue. Effect was witnessed in Education; Health issues and in Communication system. The necessity of the administrative reform was conceived that continued for the years together.
