3. Meghalaya was ruled by Khasi, Garo and Jaintia tribes, each having their own kingdom. The
British administrators took over in the 19th century and later they incorporated Meghalaya into
Assam in 1835.
When Bengal was partitioned in 16 October 1905 by Lord Curzon, Meghalaya became a part of
the new province of ‘Eastern Bengal and Assam’. However, when the partitioned reversed in
1912, Meghalaya became a part of the province of Assam.
At the time of Independence of the country in 1947, the present day Meghalaya constituted two
districts of Assam and enjoyed limited autonomy within the state of Assam.
A movement for a separate Hill State began in 1960. The Assam Reorganisation (Meghalaya) Act
of 1969 accorded an autonomous status to the state of Meghalaya. The Act came into effect on 2
April 1970, and an autonomous state of Meghalaya was born out of Assam. The autonomous
state had a 37-member legislature in accordance with the Sixth schedule to the Indian
constitution.
In 1971, the parliament passed the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganization) Act, 1971, which
conferred full statehood on the Autonomous State of Meghalaya. Meghalaya attained statehood
on 21 January 1972, with a Legislative Assembly of its own.

5. Manipur came under British rule in the eighteenth century as a princely state
(Kangleipak). During World War II, Manipur was the scene of many fierce battles
between the Japanese invaders and the British Indian forces. The Japanese were
beaten back before they could enter Imphal, which was one of the turning points
of the war.
After the war, the Manipur Constitution Act of 1947 established a democratic form
of government, with the Maharaja as the executive head.
In 1949, Maharaja Bodhchandra was summoned to Shillong, where he signed the
instrument of accession to merge the kingdom into India. Thereafter the legislative
assembly was dissolved, and Manipur became part of the Republic of India in
October 1949.
In 1956, Manipur was made a Union Territory and a fully-fledged State in 1972 on
21st January.

7. Tripura existed as a native state in ancient times and was administered by Maharajas. This
princely state was ruled by Maharajas of Manikya dynasty. Though Tripura was conquered by
force of arms in 1761, it was only after a gap of 110 years i.e 1871 that a political authority was
appointed.
The 19th Century marked the beginning of Tripura’s modern era, when king Bir Chandra Manikya
Bahadur Debarma modeled his administration on the pattern of British India and enacted various
reforms including the formation of Agartala Municipal Corporation.
Following the independence of India in 1947, Tippera district – the estate in the plains of British
India – became a part of East Pakistan, and Hill Tippera (The present-day state) remained under a
regency council until 1949. The Maharani Regent of Tripura signed the Tripura Merger
Agreement on 9 September 1949, as a result of which Tripura became a Part C state of India.
Tripura became a Union Territory without legislature with effect from November 1, 1956 and an
elected ministry was installed in July 1963.
Following the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Indian government reorganized the North East
region to ensure effective control of the international borders – a new state came into existence
on 21 January 1972: Tripura.

9. Sikkim is a northeastern state of India. It borders China in its north and
east, Bhutan in its east, Nepal in its west and the Indian state of West Bengal in its
south. Sikkim is also located close to the Siliguri Corridor near Bangladesh. Sikkim is
the least populous and second smallest among the Indian states. A part of
the Eastern Himalaya, Sikkim is notable for its biodiversity,
including alpine and subtropical climates, as well as being a host to Kanchenjunga,
the highest peak in India and third highest on Earth. Sikkim's capital and largest city
is Gangtok. Almost 35% of the state is covered by the Khangchendzonga National
Park. The Kingdom of Sikkim was founded on the Silk Road by the Namgyal
dynasty in the 17th century. It was ruled by a Buddhist priest-king known as
the Chogyal. It became a princely state of British India in 1890. After 1947, Sikkim
continued its protectorate status with the republic of India. It enjoyed the highest
literacy rate and per capita income among Himalayan states. In 1975, the Indian
military deposed the Sikkimese monarchy. A referendum in 1975 led to Sikkim
joining India as its 22nd state.
