Chakma people

The Chakma are an ethnic group primarily found in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh and parts of India, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh. They are known for their distinct language, culture, and traditional practices. Historically, the Chakma people are followers of Buddhism, though many have also adopted Hinduism and Christianity. They have a rich cultural heritage, including unique handicrafts, music, and festivals. Despite their vibrant culture, the Chakma have faced challenges, such as displacement and marginalization, particularly due to political and environmental issues in their homeland.
