Chakma resistance movement

The Chakma resistance movement involves the Chakma people, an ethnic group in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh, seeking recognition of their rights and autonomy. Historically marginalized and displaced due to land conflicts and development projects like the construction of reservoirs, they have organized protests and demands for political recognition, cultural preservation, and land rights. Their movement reflects ongoing struggles for self-determination and protection of their community’s identity within the broader national context.
