The independent Tripuri Kingdom (also known as Hill Tippera) joined the newly independent India in 1949. On 21 January 1972, the three states of Manipur, Tripura, and Meghalaya became fullfledged states under the North Eastern Region (Reorganisation) Act of 1971. The state has a tropical savanna climate, designated Aw under the Köppen climate classification.
