There have been
multiple impact of demographic changes that took place in Tripura following
refugees settlement from erstwhile East Pakistan in the after math of
India's independence and partition. Apart from the political, economical,
social impacts it has also affected the Cultural and topographical aspect of Tripura. Most of
the Names of Places viz. different villages, hamlets, rivers, tributaries, markets, area,
hills, hillocks, towns etc had been Changed to suit the tongue of refugees, who
had since became majority population. This created the impression that Tripura
state did not belonged to Native Tripuri people, rather it created the idea that
the land had since been occupied by Indo-Arian language speakers, which it was
not till mid 20th century in true senses. These are just a tip of ice berg, the
list if added it would make almost all the geographical names of Tripura.
