The King Bir Bikram: Maker of Modern Tripura

I attended a memorial lecture on Maharaja Bir Bikram Manikya Debbarman of Tipperah ( presently Tripura)  held on January26, 2016 who was born on August 19, 1908, ascended the throne in 1923, and his coronation was on January 29, 1928. He died on 17th May, 1947. Tipperah was sovereign kingdom. His death was a crucial juncture of the dawning hours of India's independence. 
His extensive travels in 30's was in Europe and America. He met Benitto Mussolini in Italy, Adolf Hitler in Germany and Franklin Roosevelt in the USA, the king of England; these had gained him an experience in governance.
