Ethnic People of Bangladesh
The word Ethnic comes from Ethnicity is derived from the Greek word ethnos which
refers to "nation". Now a day the term refers to people who possess
common ancestry and a distinctive culture. So, in short, ethnic people
refer to the people of same nationality but of different cast, culture,
tradition and religion.
There are about thirteen ethnic groups
in our country and most of them live in the Chittagong Hill Tracts
(CHT). The Chakma, the Marma, the Chak, the Mro, the Mrong, the Santal,
and the Tripura are the well known ethnic groups in Bangladesh. They
mainly live in the hill though many of them have recently settled in the
plains. Beside CHT, there are some other ethnic people scattered in
different region of Bangladesh such as Sylhet, Moulavi Bazar, Patuakhali
and a few live in Jessore. The ethnic people of Bangladesh are mainly
follower of Buddhism but there are some Christian, Hindus and even
Muslims.
The ethnic people living in CHT mainly
depend on agriculture. But their method of farming is different from
plains. They do farming on hill slopes which as known as Jum
cultivation, and once they were called Jumma because of their Jum
cultivation. Other ethnic groups live on hunting, pet husbandry and
collecting food and wood from forests. They are very hard working and
they usually take two meals a day, one in morning and another in
evening. Their living place and style are different from us.
