(CHT) is under plot of US and India by the support of UN.

[M.R.9]

Geo-political importance and economic potentials of CHT in this region, the origin of migrated tribal’s and settlers in CHT. Problem of insurgency in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh .CHT is a part and parcel of Bangladesh from time immemorial and the tribal people migrated to CHT from adjoining areas of India and Myanmar.

1.The Bengalis have been the original inhabitants in CHT even before British rule in this region.

2. India and US plotted conspiracy to destabilize and hinder economic upliftment of Bangladesh by floating guerrilla war in CHT instigating the tribal secessionists.

3. Only a section of Chakma tribals is involved with the insurgency and majority of resident tribal’s are against this secessionist group.

4. During Pakistan rule tribal community never claimed regional autonomy of CHT.

5. The peace treaty is suicidal and detrimental to the interest of the country.

6. The withdrawal of army from CHT area will give the secessionists an opportunity for strengthening their position.

If Bangladesh wants to save its own sovereignty from the US and Indian Plot. They have to take preparation militarily to tackle the racket of plots

Everyone knows that CHT belongs to BD.

If some tribals think otherwise they are free to go and live with the Barmans.

 

[Bilal9]

This is what needs to be done,

1. Build much better infrastructure (highways) to Bandarban, Rangamati and Khagrachhari. Build new patrol roads and settlements in the border areas to patrol the border more intensely. Much more than today.
2. Build large airbases in all the larger towns in the Hill tracts, so intensified air-patrols can take place using manned and drone patrol aircraft. Conduct intensified air patrols. Much more than today.
3. Procure AC-130H Ground-attack aircraft/close air support gunship as well as other smaller COIN aircraft platforms to counter any insurgent activity (Embraer Tucano type slow prop driven aircraft) which can use guided and unguided rockets and other locally made economical cost effective air-launched munitions to 'soften' insurgent targets.
3. Take people from Chittagong and Noakhali to the border area settlements and give them enticement to settle there (low cost agricultural land to farm coffee, coco, tea, pineapple, bananas and whatever else). Talk with the agri-dept. and come up with new crop plans in these areas.
4. Develop tourism in areas other than Sajek Valley. Ensure safety with military patrols.
5. Work intensely with Tribal elders/chiefs and ensure misunderstandings between tribals and Bangladeshis are avoided. This is of utmost importance.
6. Ensure tribals learn Bangla and use it in govt. and educational usage and encourage inter-marriage between tribals and Bangladeshis.

How much effect did the CHT war have on Bangladesh economy?

 

[Bilal9]

How much effect did the CHT war have on Bangladesh economy?

Well if you consider that two-thirds of the military may have been deployed in the hill tracts at some point in time, then you'd see it may not have been too insignificant.

 

[UKBengali]

How much effect did the CHT war have on Bangladesh economy?

It was not a "war".

More like Indian sponsored terrorism by settlers from the savage entity next door.

Please do not send false or bent information created in your brain just to suit your narrow ego. Where did you find this trash of your assumption? You are living in a make-believe world. Bengalis from mostly Noakhali were domiciled during the time of Ziaur Rahman.

Things are not as black and white you are implying here.A small group of Bengalis were living in CHT for many hundreds of years.Specially adjoining areas of Chittagong district.Later around 1600 to 1700 AD, a large number of Chakma, Marma and other tribal population fled to CHT from Burma due to their conflict with burmese and Arakanese.These tribal group soon out numbered Bengalis living in CHT.It did not create conflict then because Bengali population in CHT was very small, entire areas was very thinly populated and forested, plenty of room for expansion was there, so they just cleared forest and settled and give rise the impression that it is a tribal areas and Bengalis are minority outsider.Which is not true.If anybody has a claim of indigenous status in CHT than it is Bengalis. Later British govt. prohibited any outside settlement there limiting Bengali population growth there.After formation of East Pakistan, this prohibition annulled and Bengali migration there resumed.It gather pace after Kaptai hydroelectric dam.Even before Ziaur Rahman sponsored rehabilitation program, Bengalis were already 23 percent of population in CHT.

After Bangladesh's independence, tribal there started guerrilla warfare against Bangladesh with the blessing of RAW. So we needed a loyal population in the strategic areas to effectively counter the insurgency and to foil the design of external power.So a resettlement program involving landless people of the plain commence during the time of Zia. Around 1.5 lakhs landless people moved there in 1978-1982 period.Then it was halted.After the signing of CHT peace treaty, relative calmness brought more people from other part of the country in CHT. So Zia's scheme is only a part of the whole story of Bengalis presence in CHT.

Start building EPZ and push more displaced Bengalis on CHT. Problem solved...

Problem are not much there now actually.Bengalis are now an overall majority in CHT, Most of the tribals has no appetite to create trouble, they are doing fine with various benefit brought upon by peace accord.Those tribals who oppose peace treaty are now divided into several groups and killing each other.With the rise of tourism and other development projects, CHT will be integrated more and more with the rest of BD.It will attract many people form across the country to exploit those opportunities in coming years.

Read the data in the Table below. It did not come well, but the Bengali population was a mere 1,097 persons and was only 1.73% of the total population in 1872. Shall I believe in your falsehood or the information minutely compiled by the historians? Do not please indulge in distorting history again to propagate your racist Hitlerism.

History talks about itself and someone's ego cannot change its course. PDF is certainly not a place to do a doctorate in history. However, people who think of themselves as a great historian must respect it. This was not your first time to give a false account of history.

Read the Table, it says of a heavy influx of Bengali population in 1981 at 304,873 (40.83%). This coincides with the time of Ziaur Rahman. Today, it may have surpassed 50%.

You are such a nasty fellow that surprises me. Do not please show your hate towards me incessantly. I believe in truth and history. This is why I have posted the truth. Can you refute the data and what I wrote?

You guys like to distort history. Is it not you @Bilal9 who proudly wrote in one thread that Bengali and Sanskrit are the two languages born out of one mother? How silly and how ignorant of knowledge!! Do you want me to accept your stupid and ignorant opinion? LoL----

You just do not know anything about history, language, and literature. You can brag about 300 Taka tea, but not about the finer things. Why do not you grow the habit of learning from others' knowledge? Stop badmouthing and name calling, please.

You are merely providing evidence here what I have stated in previous post. Did I denied the fact that Bengali population was very small during the British times? Absolutely not.Read my post no.10 again. I have clearly said, bengali population was very small during British period up to 1947.My objection was not about the number of bengali people in CHT, but your denial that Bengalis are not indigenous in CHT or outsider.Who got there first, if we insist on this point, then it is obvious that Bengalis were present there before large number of tribal population moved there from Burma and Indian north east 200-300 years ago. Your argument sound like, Native American are not indigenous in USA, because there number is so tiny and overwhelming majority of USA are white, Black etc. for the last 300 years.So just because tribals were vast majority in CHT during British period make them indigenous in CHT and Bengalis outsider? What kind of stupid logic is that? During British times, there was a legal prohibition of Bengali people to move there, although it was a part of Bengal province.

Your chart shows bengalis were 9.61% in 1961 and 40.83% in 1981.I have stated that Bengalis were 23 percent just before Zia's resettlement started in 1978, so where did I stated wrong? It was 23 percent before the program commenced and became 40.83 percent after the resettlement program.Go check other sources to learn what was the percentage of Bengali just before Ziaur Rahman's resettlement program. So your stupid argument that Bengalis became 'zero to hero' in CHT only due to Zia's resettlement program is false.It only caused a large spike of number in a short period.Bengali migration in CHT is a continuous process, both before Zia and after his program.

Instead of saying millions of things, I say there only 1097 Bengalis in the CHT in 1872. Now it is probably more than 800,000. There was some influx before Zia. But, he institutionalized the migration of Bengalis there that still is continuing. It is not what you said with so many words.
