Abstract
The sub-discipline of history named historiography is concerned with the history of
history writing. India had more than one genres of traditional history-writing before
the establishment of the Colonial British rule in the Subcontinent. Though initially
not taken up seriously by the scholars of the new ruling class, some from within that
group soon found them useful for studying the ancient and medieval history of the
country. Situated in the southernmost corner of North East India, the province of
Tripura too can boast of a strong tradition of historiography. Mostly written . in
Bengali language, they are essential for undertaking any research on the history of
the Medieval Kingdom of Tripura, particularly from its formation in c. I J1h Century
CE up to the end of the 18th Century CE. This paper tries to locate the traditional
historiography of Tripura within the earlier'-mentioned Pan-Indian Traditional
Historiography. It will also try to bring out the unique features of the historical
chronicles of Tripura.
