History
The INPT was formed as a merger of the Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura and the Tripura Upajati Juba Samiti in 2002.
The formation of the INPT was pushed through after pressure from the underground National Liberation Front of Tripura, who wanted to unite all tribal nationalist forces in a single party. The INPT is commonly seen as the political branch of NLFT.
