Bangladesh is one of the world\u2019s most densely populated countries. There are people everywhere, and the great majority had an Indo-Aryan phenotype and profess Islam\u2026 Yet, far in the Hills bordering Myanmar, we find what at Last Places we like to describe as an \u2018island of resistance\u2019. The Tripura people of Bangladesh, a small Animistic and Hindu ethnic group of 60,000 people, clings proudly to its own ways, regardless of who rules the country where they live. The Tripura tribe is divided into several clans. Among them, the Gurpai, Jomatia, Dendak, Tongpai, Gorjong, Khakulu, Gaigra, and Murasing.<\/p>\n

Traditional aesthetics of the Tripura people of Bangladesh<\/h3>\n

The women of the Tripura people of Bangladesh are very fond of ornaments. Some of the traditional Tripura adornments indicate their social and civil status. Both men and women wear silver earrings. Additionally, women adorn their wrists, ankles, neck, nose, and hair with jewelry. In the past, Tripura men also wore ornaments, but due to the political conflict in the area, most of them have abandoned the ornamentation on their bodies, piercing only their ears. Traditional female clothing consists solely of a turban and a loincloth. Some married women wore nothing more than a skirt.<\/p>\n

Religion<\/h3>\n

Although 90% of the Tripura\u00a0 people of Bangladesh are Hindus, their religious beliefs are a bit different from the Hindu castes of India. Some practice animal sacrifice as an offering to their traditional gods and goddesses. The older generation believe in the traditional Animistic religion based on the ancestors\u2019 worship.<\/p>\n

Challenges of the Tripura people of Bangladesh<\/h3>\n

The Chittagong Hills region has been in conflict for decades, and the Tripura tribe has been affected. The origin of the conflict radiates in the demand for more autonomy by the major tribal groups of the Chittagong Hills region. In the late 1970s, an armed movement began to press the Bengali government. In order to combat the \u2018rebellion\u2019, Bengali settlers \u2013 mostly landless families from the plains districts \u2013 were encouraged to move to the Chittagong Hills with offers of land as part of a counter-insurgency strategy. Thousands of Bengali settlers have moved to the Chittagong Hill Tracts during and after the conflict. Gradually, they have occupied and encroached on tribal land, giving rise to renewed violent clashes.<\/p>\n

In 1997, there was a peace agreement between the tribal insurgents and the Bangladeshi government, but the latter had failed to this date to stop the invasion of tribal land by Bengali farmers. Clashes between the Tripura people and Bengali settlers over land use are still unfortunately common.<\/p>\n
