Tripura was a powerful principality from the 15th century on, until it was
invaded by Muslim forces from Bengal. The mountainous area of Tipperah Hills
regained independence in 1625, with some English protection; part of it became
British in 1765. The state measured 10.500 sq km, with c. 400.000 inhabitants.
