Indigenous Nationalist Party of Twipra (INTP) was founded in 1967 as the
Tripura Upajati Juba Samiti (TUJS) [1, 2]. In 2001, Indigenous People's Front of
Tripura merged into it and in 2002, the present party name was adopted [1, 3,
4]. Along with the new name, a new flag was adopted, divided vertically green
(1/3 of the length) and white (2/3 of the length), with a red star on red field
[1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. During the elections, the star may be replaced by the party
election symbol "two leaves", but such flags are never hoisted at the party
offices [1]. The same election symbol was used by the TUJS [1]. On the flags, it
is depicted in green and its exact design seems to vary somewhat, as well as the
size [10, 11, 12].

Indigenous Youth Federation of Twipra (IYFT) is the youth wing of INPT. Its
emblem is red sun with 16 longer and 16 shorter rays, charged with white
abbreviation IYFT [13]. On the flag, it appears on plain white field; the ratio
and emblem size seem to vary somewhat [6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16].

Prior to 2002, the TUJS was using the white-green horizontal bicolor. It was
replaced with the current flags when the party was renamed [1].
