Tripura is a state in northeastern India, bordered by Bangladesh to the north, south, and west, and the Indian states of Assam and Mizoram to the east. It is one of the smallest states in India in terms of area and population but is rich in culture, history, and natural beauty. Agartala is the capital of Tripura and serves as the state's political and administrative center.

Tripura has a diverse population comprising several ethnic groups, including the indigenous Tripuri people, as well as Bengali communities. The state is known for its unique blend of tribal and non-tribal cultures, reflected in its festivals, dances, music, and art forms. The state has a history of being a princely state under the rule of the Manikya dynasty, which contributed to the rich cultural heritage seen today.

Economically, Tripura is primarily an agrarian state with agriculture being the mainstay for a significant portion of its population. The state is also known for its rubber and tea plantations. In recent years, Tripura has been developing its infrastructure, particularly in terms of road connectivity and information technology.

Tourism in Tripura is growing, with attractions including the Neermahal Palace, Ujjayanta Palace, Tripura Sundari Temple, and the Unakoti rock carvings. The state's lush greenery, rivers, and hilly terrain also make it an attractive destination for nature lovers.

Politically, Tripura has seen significant shifts in recent years, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) gaining prominence after decades of Left Front rule.

In March 2023, BOOM investigated a viral video that was being falsely circulated as an attack on migrants in Tamil Nadu.

BOOM found that the video actually depicted a post-poll clash between BJP and Tipra Motha Party supporters in Dhalai, Tripura. The video was misleadingly shared with incorrect claims about its location and context.
