	INDIAN TRAVEL PORTAL
		Tripura has been greatly influenced by Bengal (parts of which were once an integral part of the kingdom) culturally and spiritually; Bengali was the court language.
		The beauty of the erstwhile princely state of Tripura stems from the splendour of its natural setting and its dazzling heritage.
		For the visitor, Tripura (one of the relatively unknown holiday destinations of the North East) is a bundle full of surprises.

	Generals as Governors
		The management of this difficult equation, in fact, confers on the governor’s office a role that far exceeds the more ceremonial functions it is constitutionally restricted to elsewhere and in normal circumstances.
		All the seven governors of the northeastern states today have either occupied high and sensitive positions in India’s security establishment or have had close ties to it.
		That was a year before the governor was called upon to make this crucial judgment in the corruption case.

		The governor is appointed by the President of India.
		The governor's role is largely ceremonial, but plays a crucial role when it comes to deciding who should form the next government or in suspending the legislature as has happened in the recent past.
		In March 2005 the assembly was dissolved by the governor and President's Rule was declared, which suspended the legislature.

	India - The Constitution
		In the executive branch, the governor plays a role analogous to that of the president, and the elected chief minister presides over a council of ministers drawn from the legislature in a manner similar to the prime minister.
		Governors are appointed to office for a five-year term by the president on the advice of the prime minister, and their conduct is supposed to be above politics.
		Governors not only attempt to keep opposition state governments in line, but also, while keeping the state bureaucracy in place, have exercised their power to dismiss the chief minister and his or her council of ministers.

		Tripura's ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Front has been urging the Centre to rush in more troops to deal with the insurgency effectively and to mount pressure on Bangladesh to demolish the camps run by militant outfits.
		On February 20, Governors and Chief Ministers of the northeastern States unanimously adopted a resolution, at the 49th meeting of the North Eastern Council (NEC) held in Shillong, urging the Centre to exert pressure on Bangladesh and Myanmar to follow Bhutan's lead and dismantle the militant camps on their soil.
		The situation prevailing in Manipur and Tripura is such that the heads of northeastern States will have to remind the United Progressive Alliance government about the urgency of implementing the resolution adopted at the NEC meeting.

	Governors as victims of power play
		The office of the governor is a creation of the Constitution and governors are appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal under Article 155 of the Constitution.
		This provision read along with the Article 156 (3) which provides that the governor would hold office for a term of 5 years makes it obvious that the governor cannot be forced out of his office by any authority except when he on his own decides to resign.
		All communications from the governor and reports on the state are normally addressed by him to the President of India and only copies are marked to others, including the Union Home Ministry.

	The Week (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Governors of states frequently end up acting as agents of the political party they owe their appointments to rather than as constitutional heads.
		The Sarkaria Commission noted, for instance, that of 298 Governors appointed between 1967 and 1986, only 18 completed their full five-year term: 88 lasted less than a year, 71 for one year, 55 for two years, 40 for three years and 26 for four.
		One consequence of this has been a rekindling of the debate on the raison d’être of the office of Governor and the natural reference to the Constitution-makers’ wisdom or lack of it for foisting on the poor tax-payer a bunch of white elephants.

	Features- Generals As Governors- The Parallel Political Systems Of North-East India
		For instance, in the spring of 2000, after attacks on Bengalis by tribal militants in Tripura, political parties belonging to the state’s Left Front government observed a 12-hour bandh to pressurize the central government to send in the army to deal with the situation.
		The fact that all the appointees have had fairly intimate connections with the security establishment cannot be mere coincidence.
		To be sure, this power of Indian governors is not limited to the Northeast and as the Delhi-based magazine India Today pointed out in an editorial, “there is something profoundly undemocratic about a mechanism which requires the governor’s permission to even begin legal proceeding against a chief minister seen as corrupt”.

	India still facing increasing separatist tendencies (by Qazi Umar) - Media Monitors Network (MMN)
		On February 20, governors and chief ministers of the northeastern states adopted a resolution, at the 49th meeting of the North Eastern Council (NEC), urging the central government to exert pressure on Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma) to allow a "Bhutan-like operation" to dismantle the "militant camps" on their soil.
		The resolution was adopted after a presentation on the security scenario by Lieutenant-General H. Kanwar, then director-general of the Assam Rifles, during which he disclosed what he claimed were facts about militant groups "liberating" areas in Chandel district, and about northeastern militants carrying out hit-and-run operations from their camps in both neighbouring countries.
		As a condition for India's ‘help', the Queen of Tripura was made to sign the Tripura Merger Agreement, whereby Tripura was annexed on 15 October 1949.
