About the Book

A Constitutional History of Tripura by Dr. Jagadis Gan-Chaudhuri is a scholarly and in-depth exploration of the constitutional evolution of the princely state of Tripura. Spanning the period from 642 AD to 1949, this book provides a detailed analysis of the region’s political, demographic, and socio-economic landscape during centuries of change and transition.

Drawing upon rich historical sources, the author presents a nuanced narrative that traces the origins and development of Tripura's constitutional structure—from ancient monarchical systems to the merging of the state into the Indian Union post-Independence. The book covers the interactions between tribal governance, royal decrees, British colonial influence, and emerging democratic ideals.

This is an essential academic resource for historians, political scientists, constitutional scholars, and anyone interested in the intricate and lesser-known political history of India’s Northeast. With its meticulous research and accessible language, it also serves as an excellent reference for students and civil service aspirants focusing on regional studies and Indian polity.

Whether you are a researcher or a curious reader, A Constitutional History of Tripura offers profound insights into how tradition, governance, and modernity intersected in shaping one of India's culturally rich states.
