A bone of contention between Hill Tripura and Arakan(590 - 1240)
Chittagong Hill Tracts was a district with a unique status. It was neither a regular district like Chittagong nor an indirectly ruled “Princely state" like Hill Tripura. Chittagong Hill Tracts and Chittagong formed a bone of contention between the rulers of Hill-Tripura and Arakan and it frequently changed hands. According to the account, Bira Raja was the founder of Hill Tripura Raj Dynasty in 590 AD. He defeated the king of Hill Chittagong and made Rangamati his capital. In 953 AD,. Tsula Tsandra, a king of Arakan occupied the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Again in 1240 AD, the king of Tripura occupied this region.
