Tripura Era New year It was changed by some over enthused western culture minded people These people hate our culture, die for others 2 or 3 folksong was used as reference. The meaning was misinterpreted The actual meaning of song indicated new in 1st of Vaisakh, 14/15th Here are some examples of copies of documents
Tripuri New year on Vaisakh Folk song proves in Vaisakh More songs directly pointing that new year is around 15th of April Songs are collected from Narendra Debbarma’s book Book is Prachin Tripuri Loksangit
Historical background of Tring The Book is compilation of opinion from distinguished Tripuri People. 21 distinguished persons opinion taken The book claims majority Supported for 22nd Dec. new year for Tripura Era.

Tripura Era Founded in 512 SE by Hamtorfa It followed the same month and date of Saka era. Here are the documented proofs
Tripura era Followed SE
New year day of TE Tripura era followed 1st Baisakh It used to vary from 1st wk April to 1st wk May The proofs are as follows.

New year counted from Vaisakh The King Radha Kishore counted Tripuri new year from vaiskha. He signed as 12/8/1313 in the month of Agrahayan that is he counted new year from Vaisakh. Proof from royal gazette
Cultural facts Is there cultural links to new year? Yes, what is that? That is Bisu / Buisu Buisu is our new year Proof is Robert Collins Book of ‘My Journey to India’ 1837 AD
Cultural facts It is new year celebration festival Three days celebration haribuisu and Maha buisu No particular God is worshipped Maikhlai is offered to departed soul It is only time to dine, dance and enjoy
Other ethnic races Bihu May not have era but to welcome the year turnabout Ahoms Bodo, Naga tribes, Misings etc. Other tribes of Asom also celebrate Chakma Biju Mogh-Songkren/Sangrai Even Mizo’s –chapcharkut is new year
Bangabda New year It follows Tripura era’s new year day Asom Era is same as BE Days and months are same Its celebration in very modern Only one day against 3 day of Bisu-Tring Program linked to Rabindra/Najrul songs No traditional culture linked or spontaneous Only city and educated people base Dr. Amlendu Mitra accepts this facts Kamal Narayan Chouduri accepts this fact
New year in rest of India Not only Bengal or Tripura Many states observes in 1st Baisakh Tamilnadu, Orissa, Panjub, Assam
Nepal –New Yr. Baisakh Nepal also has its new year on 14th April No substance that Tripura Era followed Bengali new year Look at the cutting of internet pages
Sri Lanka New Year It also has same year day as Tring It also celebrates on 1st of Vaisakh It corresponds 14th of April So no truth to saying that Tring followed Bengali new year
Burma-Myanmar Now look at East, countries of mongoloid race In Burma new year is for 3 days like Tripuri Bisu It falls on April 13th to 15th Which is our 1st of Vaisakha View internet cuttings
Thailand New year Now look at the Thai new year It is for 3 day April 13th to 15th It is known as Songkren It is also like our Bisu Tring It also falls on our 1st Vaisakh So 3 day new year is of Mongoloid origin Look at internet proofs
Cambodia-Khmer Nw Yr Now look more east Mongolian country Cambodia It is also 3 days April 13th to 15th Like our Bisu on 1st of vaisakha No truth of 1st Vaisakh being of Bengali new year Look at the internet proofs
Laos New Year Lastly look at Laos New year It is also 3 days April 13th to 16th Same as ours Bisu for three days So no iota of proof that 1st Vaisakh is copied from Bengali era new year Look at this proofs
What the Scholars say Dr.Amalendu Mitra said 1st Vaiskha new year is not original of Bengali In his book of Rarher Sanskriti Kamal Narayan Choudhuri says bisu or new year is of Indo-mongoloid and sino Tibetan peoples origin In his books Folk Lore in North Eastern India
Summery Historically SE, TE, BE same month date CRC-1957 recomd. Changes SE & BE Historically it was on 1st Vsk Culturally 1st Vsk NE states tribes new year around 1st Vsk Neighbor country 1st Vaiskh Mongoloid country 13-15th April Majority of Historical background of Tring 1st Vaisakh 1st Vsk 14-15 Apr in not BE but of TE Tring or Tirpura era new year is on 14/15th April not on 22nd December
One question Till which Tripura king observed 22nd Dec. as Tring new year? Which king changed from 22nd Dec to 1st vaisakh or 15th April at all? Can you reply? Nooo! So Tring new year is on 15th April-1st of Vaisakh
