Agartala, March 20:<\/strong> The Twipra Students\u2019 Federation <\/strong>(TSF) has announced an indefinite statewide strike starting from March 21, 2025, demanding the implementation of the Roman script for Kokborok in academic and official use. The decision was declared today at a press conference held at Agartala Press Club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSF leaders emphasized that indigenous Kokborok-speaking students have long struggled with the Bengali script, which is currently imposed in board examinations. They argue that the Roman script is more accessible, easier to learn, and culturally appropriate for the community. The organization is also demanding the rescheduling of Kokborok subject papers for Class 10 and Class 12 board exams under CBSE and other boards, ensuring students do not suffer academically due to the ongoing script dispute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSF\u2019s Key Demands: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Implementation of the Roman script for Kokborok in all educational institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Recognition of Roman script as the official writing system for Kokborok in government documents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Immediate rescheduling of Kokborok subject papers for board exams until the script issue is resolved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. End to the imposition of the Bengali script on Kokborok learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strike Guidelines & Protest Plans: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The indefinite strike will impact schools, colleges, and public institutions across Tripura. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 TSF will organize peaceful protests, rallies, and awareness campaigns to push their demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The organization has urged students, parents, and Kokborok-speaking citizens to support the movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have waited long enough. The continued imposition of the Bengali script has led to academic hardships for indigenous students. This is a fight for linguistic justice,\u201d a TSF representative stated during the press conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSF has reiterated that they are open to discussions, but unless their demands are met, the protests will continue. They have urged the government and education authorities to take immediate action to prevent further disruptions in students\u2019 academic careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strike announcement comes amid ongoing debates over the official script for Kokborok, a language spoken by a significant section of Tripura\u2019s indigenous population. While the state government has promoted the Bengali script, many indigenous groups and scholars have advocated for the Roman script, citing its historical and practical advantages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the strike set to begin tomorrow, all eyes are now on the government\u2019s response to TSF\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
