Until the British occupied Bengal from Nawab Sirajuddaula, the Chittagong Hill Tracts was nothing. The whole was the only one, Chittagong.
The whole Chittagong is actually the hill. The present standing Chittagong city is also a hill area.
After Chittagong came to the British occupation, they decided to make a section of Chittagong a separate district under the name 'Chittagong Hill Tracks' or 'Hill Chittagong'.
In 1860 they are in Chittagong This part is separated from Chittagong.
After separating, they named it 'Chittagong Hill Tracts District' or 'Chittagong Hill Tracts District'.
Until then, there were lots of Chittagong.
The district, which was separated from Chittagong, made the law as a special administrative area or special administrative area.
Then the Bengalis forbid the entry, residence and cultivation there.
Tribal holding people Headman, the businessman, made these leaders from them. They became the administrative head of one area.
Until now, the Bengali, Chittagong, saw their houses, the land was occupied.
In their home, the British made people working on the land.
Those who have been created have no interest in themselves.
According to the Divide & Rule Policy, in a separate ethnic group that lives together so longI got the trouble.
The land of the Bengalis occupied the Bengalis. If not the tribal, the British began to stop the farmers' entering.
At home, the night was burned in the night, burning with fire.
When he approached the British, he would say- remote and terrorized areas, there is no need to be there.
The Bengalis saw that it could not be here. Many came from Chittagong Hill Tracts from Chittagong Hill Tracts to Chittagong. ManyHe came and started living in the border of the new district, which is now Satkania, Fatikchari, Chakria.
The British informally from 1860 to the tribal region of the hill region began to expel non -Hindus and Muslims from the hills.
But their own districts, their ancestors, land, bricks.
In their business, the landlords of the land, the people working in the house became the zamindar class.
They were grabbed from the Bengali or Chittagongad and were given the Tribal Headman, businessmen.
Thus, in 40 years, the Bengali was made fairly zero from Chittagong Hill Tracts.
Many farmers were not in the new district, but outside the district, he lived on the border and cultivated on their own land in the new area.
But the number of residence is greatly reduced.
The British then passed the 'Hill Act 1900' in 1900.
HiccupThe Bengalis' entry into Chittagong is strictly banned.
Non -tribal, as well as Bengali or Chittagong, entry, business, farming, buying land or the right to own the land are taken away.
Through this, the Chittagong Hill Tracts are completely emptied.
The Act was passed by the administrative head of the region and the power to make all the decisions, including the headmen and businessmen.
HeadmenLegally the power to collect the rent is given.
DC is also given special power.
The Hill Act 1900 became the outsider of Bengalis.
Those who are forbidden to entry. Lands lost ownership.
But the arrival of the Mongoloid ethnic groups from other areas of the distant and continued to settle.
Thus, the British made the Chittagong Hill Tracts a separate region within Bangladesh.
This is when the British leftThe law is still in force.
Because of this Act, you can not buy any land in the hills of Chittagong Hill Tracts.
It has been made a separate country inside Bangladesh.
After the creation of Bangladesh in 1972, the first need to cancel all kinds of colonial laws, systems left by British Pakistan, as well as cancellation of separate laws and sovereign sovereign, called Chittagong Hill Tracts.The masses bring the whole of Bangladesh into a constitution, law and system.
But the Sheikh Mujib government could not do this in 1972, but no government could do it in the last four years. President General Ziaur Rahman made some effort. Then no other government has tried to reform them.
Everyone is powerful-wealthy-wealthy through corruption, looting, to capture power by the brokerage of DelhiBeing was also busy with money. They had no interest in solving important problems in the country. Under the direction of Delhi, the traitors have just increased the problem of Chittagong Hill Tracts!
Conclusion:
Reflecting on this isn't about assigning blame,but about understanding the deep roots of present-day complexities. It challenges us to think about how we reconcile with history and build more integrated, equitable futures.
Question to the community: What historical "unmaking" in your part of the world do you believe we need to understand better?
