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
 
Yes i completely agree that the adivasis of our nation should be allowed to live like they seem right and protect their culture and heritage. The problem started happening when Ziaur Rahman decided to move bengali settlers into the areas where adivasis where living and they did nt like it. Then soon afterwards bengalis started causing trouble. Its time to reconcile that and solve whatever longstanding issues we have over there.

Peace agreement between CHT people and Bangladesh covers most or even more than what your opinion suggests. I know you cant buy a piece of land now being a outsider without the permission of tribal council in CHT.

Just ommit the word Adivasi which will create a lot of problem now and in the future. We accepted everybody as the son of this land. Dont get yourself into Migrant/Adivasi dispute. Its like a contagious diesease and will spread outside CHT too.

They still deserve the compensation that was promised.

I didn't want to continue after this low life conclusion. What do mean by forcefully to their land. Who's land it is? You are talking like an Indan. :angry:

A Bangladeshi can relocate any where he please. Get lost with your segregated idea. :tdown:

Another uninformed and clue less. So you want Chakma to conspire against Bangladesh. These chakmas aren't angel. If it is possible then they will wage war against Bangladesh with the help of Indian for separation. They have tried and failed due to Muslim community and Army. Zia ur Rehman knew what he was doing. He wasn't half baked thinker like you.

Well ziaur rahman moved the Bengalis to CHT. I dont think the tribals were against individual small scale migration, however they were against large scale migration sponsered by the government.

A similar situation happened in Sri lanka between the sinhalese and tamils and that led to civil war on a very large scale. It is better for us to listen and give them their rights.

To answer your question who's land is it, its Bangladeshis land. And i mentioned that tribal reserves should be placed in CHT only for the tribals. Bengalis can live in a small scale outside the reserves.

Well, i ll tell you something about my background. My village is in Chittagong, very near to Bandarban area and my grand dad had a passion for hunting. Naturally he would go deep into the forests and he had very good relations on a personal level with the chakmas and marmas living there. Now before Ziaur Rahman decided to sent bengali settlers there, for hundreds of years general populace and the hill tracts people had been living peacefully with each other, you must question yourself how come they only started having problems only recently. If you honestly look into the matter, it will become very clear to you what is the problem.

And i can assure you i am not "uninformed and clueless" about what happened in the hill tracts of chittagong, the policies i mentioned are at place in many countries and there should be no issue in implementing them here. And nowhere did i mention i want chakmas to conspire against Bangladesh, they are a peace loving people and want to live on like they have been living for hundreds of years if not thousands.
 
banglarmanush, educate your self. There is no adibashi in bangladesh. Bangalees has a history of living in bengal with dignity, wealth, rich culture and power for more than 5000 years. Have you seen the three zeros after five. Remember they are 3 0s after 5 that is five thousand. and the so called mongoloid featured adibashi you call they came from myanmar, tibbet and other surrounding areas. They are on bengal land not even more than 1000 years. Do you know that?

In my opinion there should be no free lunch for anybody in bangladesh. If you want to live in this country, live among everybody- what segregation b**l s**t

Really? Have you ever met one? :lol:

They tried that, and failed. And will fail so again in case they try in the future. Actually, I'd courage our Bharot friends to do just that :lol:

I believe the whole issues should be resolved in a clear and efficient manner. No hidden agendas.

I do not agree with cultural segregation, their identity is more of a cultural issue. All peoples in Bangladesh must be proud of being Bangladeshis regardless of religion or ethnicity.

You can debate all you want whether they are there from the start or moved in 1000 years before today. The thing is Chittagong hill tracts was never a traditional bengali place. These adivasis were here for a long time, without us.

Nobody is getting free lunch. They are getting back land taken over by kaptai lake, or have been forcefully taken by us. This aint segregation as i mentioned chakmas and bengalis should share public facilities together,etc, this is about preserving the cultures of BD, not forgetting the rights of the adivasis

That's the first and the root cause of the issue. Kaptai lake is a man-made one to serve the hydro-electric damn built during the Pakistan-era.
