 In short the religious culture of the Reang is similar to that of other Tripuri of Tripura.Since 1997, tens of thousands of Reangs are living as refugees in Tripura and Assam.However, the number has declined (from 50,000 plus to 28,686 as of 2017) as a result of voluntary repatriation to Mizoram, extremely low birth rates (only 6,685 of the 28,686 refugees are below 18 years of age) and high death rates.
