Little is know about the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh (CHT), an area of approximately 5,089 square miles in southeastern Bangladesh. It is inhabited by indigenous peoples, including the Bawm, Sak, Chakma, Khumi Khyang, Marma, Mru, Lushai, Uchay (also called Mrung, Brong, Hill Tripura), Pankho, Tanchangya and Tripura (Tipra), numbering over half a million. Originally inhabited exclusively by indigenous peoples, the Hill Tracts has been impacted by national projects and programs with dire consequences. This book describes the struggle of the indigenous peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts region to regain control over their ancestral land and resource rights. From sovereign nations to the limited autonomy of today, the report details the legal basis of the land rights of the indigenous peoples and the different tools employed by successive administrations to exploit their resources and divest them of their ancestral lands and territories. The book argues that development programs need to be implemented in a culturally appropriate manner to be truly sustainable, and with the consent and participation of the peoples concerned. Otherwise, they only serve to push an already vulnerable people into greater impoverishment and hardship. The devastation wrought by large-scale dams and forestry policies cloaked as development programs is succinctly described in this report, as is the population transfer and militarization. The interaction of all these factors in the process of assimilation and integration is the background for this book, analyzed within the perspective of indigenous and national law, and complemented by international legal approaches. The book concludes with an updateon the developments since the signing of the Peace Accord between the Government of Bangladesh and the Jana Sanghati Samiti (JSS) on December 2, 1997.

This volume is an account of the life and times in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. It also indicates how people in many regions of the subcontinent have to live their lives following the particular way in which the subcontinent has been decolonized and the politics of the majoritarian nations become the dominant reality in the region. Based on contributions by scholars, journalists, militants and peace activists the book will become a valuable addition to the growing literature on far frontier studies. The volume is an account of the marginalisation and peripheralisation of seemingly inaccessible lands and also a table how areas hiterto considered parts of mainland suddenly find themselves as the distant frontiers to be eternally guarded and suppressed. It shows at the same tine how people of these areas refuse to accept the assigned fate. (Adapted from Publisher's Abstract).
