Indigenous peoples
The AL-led grand alliance has come to power with the slogan of “Din Bodoler Sanad”. As any other community we, indigenous communities, believe that we need changes in our attitudes, behaviours and in our mentality towards others. There is no denying that 45 indigenous communities have been living in Bangladesh for decades. They had a pioneer role in the Anti-British Movement, 1971 Liberation War and other nation building process.
But the Bangladesh government has been trying to ignore the existence of the Indigenous people; they treat them as “Upojati”.
