They are the Northwest Burmese people who live in the Indian state of Tripura since the Rakhine kingdom's control over Tripura in the 16th centuries. Arakanese descendants living in present-day Bangladesh are as known as Magh or Marma people.According to Burmese historical records, after the fall of the Toungoo Dynasty, the Rakhine king allowed some of Toungoo's civil servants to rule in what is now Tripura state, India.
