of the Indian Subcontinent:
Indo-European, Dravidian,
Sino-Tibetan, and
Austroasiatic.
Around 70% of

People
of Tripura

the majority of

live in houses
built on an elevated
platform, 3 to
4 m above the
ground, and reached
by a ladder. Tripura
has become home
to several thousand
immigrants from
West Bengal and
Bangladesh, who
have settled in
the state and
reduced the tribals
to a minority
in some areas.
