the world is crumbling all about;
no safe place can be found;
right is wrong, wrong is right;
the change is quite profound

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

A land where my people are the majority, where it feels like home and not a foreign land, wtrihere our culture is freely practiced, our language is spoken freely and our people can work for the greater prosperity of posterity. #WewantGreatertipraland #Thansa #Tipraland

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

@RoselinBTipra Just looking at their pictures makes me speechless. Somehow we have failed them miserably. Heartbreaking..

I come from 2 Indias
-where media outrages and holds prime time debates over a death of elephant in Kerala
-and same media maintains a pin drop silence over the killings of 13 innocent civilians by security forces in Nagaland

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

Welcome to Tripura where murdering/raping/attacking our #tiprasa people makes 'them' a hero. Just look at the mentality and hate displayed. Remorseless.

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

And again, two of our own brutally shot in broad daylight. So is it normal for a person to take out his anger by killing (KILLING) two persons from another community? I bet all my guts that no mainstream media will report this. Is it worth it to hope on justice for the victims?

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

@cupidgirl6 Tragedy defined

Praying for the day we live in a land where we don't have to witness unpredictable hate and violence #thansa #wewantgreatertipraland #tipraland

@RoselinBTipra @debbarma_dhruva When people have followers and the ability to influence, but fail to do so... ahh, idk such a loss of opportunity to make a difference. Pure selfish.

[Dhruva Debbarma @debbarma_dhruva]

My heart hurts. Did not see many so called influencers, actors, actresses. These are the times you can most influence people to take the right steps or towards the right direction. Otherwise this could've gone much better. Anyways thanks to all for participating. I love you all♥️

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

The main reason for the hashtag #Thansa is for all of us to unite, be it at a rally in Delhi or a Twitter storm. It's sad that the participation was quite low in spite of spreading the word. Nonetheless, a word of appreciation for all the active ones :) 💎#WewantGreatertipraland

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

Our Generosity turned to their Greed. SOS #WewantGreatertipraland #tipraland #Thansa

[Dhruva Debbarma @debbarma_dhruva]

We have always been hospitable and generous to every community ( including illegal immigrants) in the past. Not anymore. Not at the cost of our lives, land, children, women and most importantly OUR DIGNITY
That's why

#Tipraland

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

#WewantGreatertipraland is a fight to save our #tiprasa identity.

[Dhruva Debbarma @debbarma_dhruva]

Time to save our Identity, our lives, our culture and everything that was and is rightfully OURS.

That's why
#WeWantGreaterTipraland

#Tipraland

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

No one can love and care for a land more than the people who have their ancient roots and culture bonded to it... Illegal migrants don't stand a chance. Not anymore. #WewantGreatertipraland #tipraland #thansa

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

1st December 1963, Nagaland's demand for statehood was granted by the GOI. A land of plenty tribes and rich culture chose to form a government of their choice. So WHY NOT TIPRALAND? Why can't the #Tiprasa be given their rights to their own land? #WewantGreatertipraland #thansa

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

We shall fight for the land of our fore fathers and of our future generations.
We shall fight for #tipraland #WewantGreatertipraland #thansa

[Dhruva Debbarma @debbarma_dhruva]

This is our state. Our ancestors have ruled this land. We have lost a huge part owing to the Partition in the past. We shall not stand losing anymore of it.
That's why

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

We choose a government by OUR people and for OUR people #thansa #WewantGreatertipraland #tipraland

[Dhruva Debbarma @debbarma_dhruva]

I refuse to be ruled by illegal migrants, to write in a script which has no origin to the land I belong, to be forced to speak in their language.
I choose to see my people in power, to never shy away in speaking my mother tongue. That's why #WeWantGreaterTipraland
#Thansa

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

I refuse to live in a state where crimes committed in broad daylight are shrugged off easily. Where the justice serving bodies turn a blind eye even with ample evidence
#thansa #WewantGreatertipraland #tipraland

[Dhruva Debbarma @debbarma_dhruva]

I refuse to be part of a state where the indigenous people are treated as second class citizen, where we are a minority, where justice is not served to heinous crimes committed against my brethern- murders, rapes, mob lynching, burglary.

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

Not only the constitution but the International Declararion of Human Rights state that we have the rights to Life, Liberty, Security, Equality and Justice. After decades of being denied these rights, #tipraland is our only retort to survival. #WewantGreatertipraland #thansa

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

Every human is born to belong to a community. The survival of a community depends on how individuals respond and take up responsibility in times of crisis. This could be God's chance to allow you do something to save our #Tiprasa. Let's go at 6pm? #WewantGreatertipraland #Thansa

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

I guess at this point, almost everyone are aware of the timings and hashtags. It's just that many choose to stay mum and take a back seat. Just a reminder that it is a fight for OUR identity. If you don't involve today, then when?
#wewantgreatertripraland #tipraland #thansa

[Rachel Debbarma @RachelDebbarma]

Part of the #WewantGreatertipraland movement is making people outside Tripura know what's going on. Share news links, explain the history and present scenario. Would be a huge difference if the fight is inclusive. #thansa https://t.co/vnC5TueTGt
