Abstract	Northeast India has witnessed various statehood movements throughout the years, with factions desiring independent states or autonomous areas based on ethnic, cultural, and historical considerations. Many examples include the Bodo community's aspiration for a separate state of Bodoland in Assam, the Naga Movement for an independent state for the Naga people. For the autonomy of Mizoram, the Mizo National Front has started the movements. Similarly, one of Tripura's regional parties supports an additional state for the indigenous peoples. This article investigates the Tipra Motha Party’s demand for “Greater Tripura Land,” as well as the distinction between IPFT, also known as the Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura demand for “Tipraland”. Hence, the article analyzes challenges encountered by the Tribals in their homeland, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of the Greater Tripura Land.
Keywords	Greater Tipraland, Tipraland, Tipra Motha Party, IPFT, Political development of Tripura. Tribal Politics.
