In 1870 King Bir Chandra Maniky ascended the throne of Tripura and it is said that modern Tripura was born during his reign. On his death in 1947, the Regent Maharani ruled the kingdom on behalf of his minor son. On August 1947 the kingdom of Tripura formally acceded to the Indian Union. The administration of the territory was however, actually taken over by the Indian Government in 1949 when with the signing of the Agreement of Merger by the Maharani, Tripura merged with the Indian Union

On January 21,1972 Tripura attained full statehood with a legislature of sixty members and a Council of Ministers.
