Founding Philosophy: The All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) is a terrorist group currently operating in India's Tripura state. Tripura is one of the seven northeastern Indian states, sometimes called the seven sisters, which are home to numerous terrorist entities. Many of these groups are fighting for independence/autonomy from India, as well as increased rights for tribal people.

The ATTF, specifically, engages in terrorist attacks for the stated goal of independence for all tribal areas within Tripura. ATTF also proposes the expulsion of all Bengali-speaking immigrants who entered Tripura after 1956. Furthermore, ATTF wants to repeal voting rights for all immigrants, regardless of ethnicity, who entered the state after 1956. These three goals demonstrate the group's principal beliefs, namely that tribal lands in Tripura should be granted independence from India's federal government, and non-tribal people should be removed from the state or at least have reduced rights.



The ATTF is one of two primary terrorist entities in Tripura. The second group, the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), has more insurgent members, is better armed, and is devoutly Christian. ATTF and NLFT are rivals and have confronted each other in armed clashes. Both terrorist organizations are banned by the current Indian government. The ATTF's terrorist activities have included the kidnapping of politicians and attacks on Bengali-speaking people, causing the Indian government to have banned the group since 1997.

Current Goals: On April 22, 2004, ATTF's leader indicated the possibility for a negotiated end to the ATTF insurgency. Nevertheless, All Tripura Tiger Force remains an active terrorist organization.
