The Mog are the Arakanese descendants who live in the Indian state of Tripura.^[1][2]

They are the Arakanese descendants who live in the Indian state of Tripura since the Arakan kingdom's control over Tripura in the 16th centuries. Arakanese descendants living in present-day Bangladesh are known as Magh or Marma people. Mog migration into Tripura and the Chittagong area surged when the Arakanese Kingdom of Mrohuang fell to the Burmese king Bodawpaya in 1785. Maha Thamada Raja, the last king of Arakan was deposed and 20,000 Arakanese transported to Myanmar as slaves. Bodawpaya's oppressive rule in Arakan resulted in a failed revolt in 1794, and thousands of refugees fled into British territory around Sylhet (present-day Bangladesh).^[3]

In 1951 they numbered 3,789; and by 1971 there were 13,273 Mog in Tripura. In Tripura as per 2001 Census Mogs are 30,385 persons. Their major concentrations are at Subroom and Belonia.^{[4][need quotation to verify]} In 2010, its population is estimated to be 32,000.^{[citation needed]}
