Soon after India attained independence from British rule, the princely states that blended into the Indian Union started receiving statehood. During this process, Tripura and Manipur were granted with the status of Union Territories (UTs).
Meanwhile, Meghalaya was still a part of Assam, and the much-famed recognition of seven sisters were not yet formed then. Similarly, in 1969, Meghalaya finally received autonomous state recognition through the Assam Reorganization (Meghalaya) Act, 1969. But it was only on January 21, 1971, with the introduction of the concerned act that all the three states – Tripura, Meghalaya and Manipur attained their much deserved recognition and became a full-fledged state. This day is marked as the “Foundation Day” of these 3 northeastern states.
