Chakma Tribe
The Chakma Tribe is an indigenous ethnic group primarily found in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh and parts of India, particularly in Tripura and Mizoram. They are known for their unique culture, language, and traditions, which are distinct from the surrounding communities. The Chakma people primarily practice Buddhism, although some also follow Hinduism and Christianity.
Traditionally, the Chakma Tribe engages in agriculture, cultivating crops like rice and vegetables. They are also skilled artisans, known for their weaving and bamboo crafts. The tribe faces challenges such as land rights issues and cultural preservation, as modernization and external influences impact their way of life.
