Abstract
The
changing character of immigration over time in Tripura led to a huge
demographic transition which the is rare in the demographic history of the
world. The study attempted to assess the distribution of documented Bangladeshi
immigrants in Tripura and measure the trend and pattern of Bangladeshi
immigration in the state. The study was based on secondary data computed from the
migration tables under the D-series of census reports (1991, 2001 and 2011) to
deal with the study's objectives. The study has explored that almost 99 per
cent of the total reported immigrants were from Bangladesh. The results
revealed that female counterparts had outstripped the male Bangladeshi
immigrants while the overall size of the immigrants was diminishing.
