So guys recently there have been a lot of articles about the land rights and demands of adivasis in CHT. I just wanna get your opinion on it.
My opinion
CHT has been traditionally a non-bengali area. We bengalis are going there and sometimes forcefully take their land, heck during the pakistan times we destroyed their kings palace to build the kaptai lake.
Bangladesh is country where its citizens are allowed to move anywhere they want. However, we must respect the demands of our fellow citizens who were there for a very long time.
I think bangladesh should set up protected tribal areas for the different tribes, just like brazil, to help them preserve their land culture and heritage. However, facilities such as schools, hospitals inside the protected areas can be used by any citizen of the country.
Bengalis sholud be allowed, in a small scale, live nearby the protected tribal areas. This will encourage social interactions and full use of facilities nearby. This will create bond between us.
However, demands such as removing the army from the territory gets a huge NO from, for the obvious reasons.
There should be a quota for adivhasi MP, chairman, so that they have a say and have representation in our country's political field.
Lastly, when we develop things like resorts and other businesses in the CHT, we should make sure they are employed proportionaly. As per my experience, bengalis are employed more in those places, even though they may be of smaller population
