Reflection of Non-cooperation movement in the Princely State Tripura
Under Mahatma Gandhi's guidance, the Indian liberation movement entered a new phase in the 1920s The 1920s marked a significant shift in India's freedom struggle, moving from individual leaders and small groups to a broader, more inclusive, and non-violent mass movement. Gandhi's appeal for widespread involvement in the nonviolent, non-cooperation campaign reached even the most isolated regions of the nation. And unlike other princely domains of India, the small princely state of North East India, the princely Tripura also witnessed some repercussions to that. Since ancient times North East India portrays a different socio-cultural and economic entity than the rest of the Indian subcontinent. Despite the prolonged difference, north east India was always connected with the mainstream of Indian socio-political settings. As a result, the princely Tripura was not completely isolated from the nationalist politics and the freedom struggle of India. Mahatma Gandhi organized the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, which sought to overthrow British colonial control in India. Early in 1921, these demonstrations gathered traction in the Princely state of Tripura, which was governed by a native king under British influence. Additionally, during this period, the spirit of nationalism was sparked in the princely domain of Tripura, where the people of Chakla Roshnabad actively joined in the nationalist movement led by Gandhi and the Indian National Congress and rebelled against the colonial administration.
