Maha Thamada Raja, the last king of Arakan was deposed and 20,000 Arakanese transported to Myanmar as slaves. Bodawpaya's oppressive rule in Arakan resulted in a failed revolt in 1794, and thousands of refugees fled into British territory around Sylhet (present-day Bangladesh).<ref>Ghosh, L., 1999.

The Mog are the Northwest Burmese people who live in the Indian state of Tripura.[1][2]

They are the Northwest Burmese people who live in the Indian state of Tripura since the Rakhine kingdom's control over Tripura in the 16th centuries. Arakanese descendants living in present-day Bangladesh are as known as Magh or Marma people.According to Burmese historical records, after the fall of the Toungoo Kingdom, the Rakhine king allowed some of Toungoo's civil servants to rule in what is now Tripura state, India.

The Mogs are descendants of the Arakan tribe and the Mogs came to Tripura through Chittagong Hill Tracts. The religion they follow is Buddhist.They speak NorthWest Burmese dialect of Tibeto-Burman language that part of Sino-Tibetan family.Mogs are mostly dependent on the cultivation. They also have a management system in the village which is managed through administrative social council. The Chief or the executive of Mog tribe council is called Chowdhury. Their way of cremating their dead involves observing rites and rituals. Wah(Burmese - ဝါ) Festival is the most important festival in which the annual meeting of the whole Mog community takes place. Many combinations of folk songs and dance are performed during this festival. The Mog’s social, culture and beliefs are similar to Burmese culture. Their folk tales and folk songs are unique mind blowing and also touch the core of heart. The Mog Tribes tradition is also famous for their folk medicine. Apart from their normal and daily economic activities some of the Mogs are involved in earning through practicing traditional treatment by using indigenous and ancient medicines which are preserved and passed down from generation to generation from their ancestors. In Tripura Mogs follow Buddhism, the majority of Mogs are Buddhists, but they still continue to practice some of their original pujas and festivals. Though nowadays maximum festivals of Mogs are related to Buddhism namely Buddha Purnima, Owa –Cho- labre, Owagya labre, Kathin Chibor dan(ကထိန်ပွဲ) and Sangreing Festival(သင်္ကြန်ပွဲ).

In 1951 they numbered 3,789; and by 1971 there were 13,273 Mog in Tripura. In Tripura as per 2001 Census Mogs are 30,385 persons. Their major concentrations are at Subroom and Belonia.[3][need quotation to verify] In 2010, its population is estimated to be 32,000.[citation needed]
