'''Tripuri Nationalism''' is an ideology that supports [[self-determination]] by the [[Tripuri people]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=The Emergence of Tripuri Nationalism, 1948-50|journal=South Asia Research|year=1989|first=Harihar|last=Bhattacharyya|volume=9|issue=1|pages=54–71|doi= 10.1177/026272808900900104}}</ref> The conflict is in essence ethnic and the Tripuri community, indigenous to the region formed the clear majority of population in the [[princely state]] of [[Twipra Kingdom|Tippera]], which joined the [[Republic of India]] in 1949 as the state of [[Tripura]].

The issue has led to a number of armed uprisings and [[Insurgency in Tripura]].
There was a rebellion in 1950,<ref name="Das2005">{{citation|last=Das|first=Samir Kumar|title=Peace Processes and Peace Accords|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=18JPHIqr-dAC&pg=PA204|year=2005|publisher=SAGE Publications|isbn=978-0-7619-3391-5|p=204}}</ref> and armed conflict continued to erupt in the 1980s to 2000s. Since 1989, the armed rebellion was mostly led by the [[National Liberation Front of Tripura]] (NLFT) and the [[All Tripura Tiger Force]] ATTF).<ref name=nlft>{{cite web |url=http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/states/tripura/terrorist_outfits/nlft.htm|title=National Liberation Front of Tripura|work=South Asia Terrorism Portal}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/states/tripura/terrorist_outfits/attf.htm|title=All Tripura Tiger Force|work=South Asia Terrorism Portal}}</ref>
The Bengali side retaliated by forming militias of their own, such as the United Bengali Liberation Tiger Front (UBLTF), which destroyed a number of Tripuri villages in 2000.

The NLFT is classified by the [[National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism]] as one of the ten most active terrorist groups in the world, and has been accused of forcefully converting people to Christianity.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/states/tripura/documents/papers/nlft_const.htm|title=Constitution of The National Liberation Front Of Tripura|work=South Asia Terrorism Portal}}</ref><ref name=nlft/>

Militant activity peaked in 2000 with 514 terrorism-related fatalities in that year. As of 2012, the uprising has largely been brought under control by the authorities through security actions and negotiated surrenders.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurasiareview.com/11122012-india-tripura-terror-assessment-for-year-2013/|title=India: Tripura Terror Assessment For Year 2013 – Analysis|work=Eurasia Review|date=11 December 2012}}</ref>
