孟加拉国在解放战争后成为一个独立的主权国家，这场战争见证了现代历史上最悲惨和残酷的血战之一。尽管孟加拉国在民族语言上几乎是同质的，但其人口中包含各种非孟加拉人，他们的地理位置与重要国家资源的关系远远超过了他们在整个国家的人口重要性。 1 虽然这些族裔社区中有很多居住在孟加拉国北部和东北部地区以及沿海地区的许多地区，2 其中最大的一个居住在曾经被称为吉大港山区 (CHT) 的地区。 3 CHT 的族群在从相对孤立到日益融合的过渡时期 4 中力求保持其独特的族群身份。与此同时，反映并代表班加利族占多数的孟加拉国政府一直在努力实现民族融合和经济发展——必要时采取反叛乱措施。
Bangladesh emerged as an independent and sovereign state after a war of liberation which witnessed one of the most tragic and brutal blood-baths of modern history. Although Bangladesh is ethnolinguistically almost homogeneous its population contains a variety of non-Bangalees whose geographical location in relationship to important national resources far outweighs their demographic significance in the country as a whole. 1 While a good number of these ethnic communities inhabit a number of districts in the northern and north-eastern region and the coastal areas of Bangladesh, 2 the largest of them reside in the region which was once known as the district of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT). 3 The ethnic communities of the CHT seek to preserve their exclusive ethnic identity during what has been for them a period of transition4 from relative isolation to one of increasing incorporation. At the same time the Bangladesh government, reflecting and representing the dominant majority Bangalee community, has been trying to achieve national integration and economic development-when necessary by counterinsurgency measures.
