Edits to the National Liberation Front of Tripura:

Add to the Factions section:

The NLFT was originally started by Dhananjoy Reang in March of 1989. Reang was removed from his position by a coup in 1993. After the coup, the group was briefly led Nayanbasi Jamatiya, and then Biswamohan Debbarma took command, but some continued to follow Nayanbasi.

The Nayanbasi faction has approximately 50 sophisticated weapons, 50 persons in collaboration with the group, and 150 cadres in active duty .In January of 2004, the Nayanbasi faction group sent a message to the Additional Director of General Police (ADG) with the intention to start peace talks. These meetings ultimately were not successful.

Another reason that this faction was forced to the peace table was the organization was weakened by its factionalizing. The Biswamohan faction also sent a letter to government officials in 2015 with the desire to have peace talks. This was sparked by the Bangladeshi government’s crackdown on hostile groups. The government there were able to do this by extensively searching the Sacherri jungles where the organization had many of its hideouts.

Location:

The group has been banned from the Indian government since the Unlawful Activities Act of 1967. Therefore, the group operates from its headquarters in Khagrachari, a district in Bangladesh around 45 km from Simanapur. The National Liberation Front of Tripura has the ability to utilize this 856 km of the border that is unfenced and susceptible to invasion.

Attacks:

The National Liberation Front of Tripura has conducted 81 attacks on various locations in South Asia and specifically in Tripura. Of these 81 attacks, handguns and firearms have been the most common weapon.

The attacks that have been carried out by the NLFT have not exceeded 25 deaths. The majority of their attacks have been on citizens rather than the government although the group’s main opponent is the Indian government.

Objectives/Ideologies:

A common ideology within the NLFT is Tripuri Nationalism. This has two components: a Tripura state that is for only the native citizens, and the Bengalis that inhabit Tripura have no political rights or power. Among the leadership and followers of the NLFT, there are a few common objectives that come to the surface when doing analysis on this group.


 * 1) To liberate Tripura from the union of India
 * 2) To deport all foreigners who entered into Tripura after 1956.
 * 3) To restore alienated tribal lands

Flag:

The NLFT has its own flag which consists of three colors: green, white, and red. The green portion of the flag symbolizes sovereignty over Tripura, the land to which they lay claim. The white portion of the flag signifies the peace they desire to. The color red represents the revolution and the blood that has been shed in the name of their revolution. The final part of the flag is the star which acts as the guiding light for the Borok during this struggle.

First I would like to say that I found your article and group that you choose to be very interesting. I believe there are only two areas where I think a little more elaboration would be great for your paper. If you have any more information on the split between Nayanbasi Jamatiya and The National Liberation Front of Tripura. For instance what lead to the group to put another leader in charge? Why was Jamatiya not assassinated like the first leader was? And What was better about Biswamohan Debbarma that made them choose him over Jamatiya?

I did enjoy how you found they have a flag and you went into detail of what the flag looks like and its meaning. If you have a picture of the flag I believe that would be great to put into this Wikipedia project for extra visual effect.

Also if you have any research saying why they have targeted more civilians than government i believe that would be very helpful as well to your second portion of your Attacks paragraph.

I did like how you found exact information on their headquarters. I think that will really be a highpoint for your paper because it seems to be an exact location which most groups do not give out, which is why i found it so interesting.

Lastly I am guessing that you changed groups from the Holy JIhad Brigades to the National Liberation Front of Tripura. If not does your group have multiple names, and if they do I would go into detail on why that is.

But overall a great job on your part

Sincerely,
