About The Book: It is a multidisciplinary bibliographical study which enlists uptodate references (without any duplication) about Tripura and its tribes. This covers almost all comprehensive inventory research source materials from monographs, articles, dissertation, reports, proceedings, etc., of preand postIndependence period from the year 1845 to 1992.

The introductory chapter has described the main aspects of geography, agriculture, forest, geology, historical and political administration, village, regional and district councils, chieftainship etc. with sociological and anthropological aspects of the tribes of Tripura. Besides these, this book has given a basic knowledge about its three districts and descriptive ideas on many other aspects of Tripura and its people. This exhaustive bibliographical work will definitely assist the scholars to locate the availability of the documents on different aspects of Tripura and its tribes relating to anthropology, sociology, religion, politics, economics, linguistics, psychology etc. The Author Index makes consultation easy. This will well serve as a readyreckoner for the researchers.
