The Twipra Students Federation (TSF) – a student body of the opposition TIPRA Motha party in Tripura on Friday staged a protest to press for the inclusion of ‘Roman’ script instead of Bengali for the Kok-Borok language.
The students’ body led by the TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Kishore Deb Burman on Friday staged the protest infront of the Gandhi statue here at Agartala Circuit House and insisted that the use of the Bengali script in the Kokborok subject of the CBSE Kokborok examination must be replaced for the interest of the Kokborok-speaking Tiprasa community, particularly students.
An incident also occurred on 19th March 2023 in Ampinagar where students appearing in the TBSE Board Exams were forced by the invigilators to write the Kokborok language exam in Bengali script. According to the TIPRA Motha party, this prompted the students' community to strongly demand to write Kokborok language papers in Roman Script for any exams.
Pradyot said that this will adversely affect the CBSE student's ability to learn Kokborok properly and shine in the subject.
