Bangladesh is home to a diversity of amazing people including the Chakma people who are from the Chittagong Hill Tracts in southeastern Bangladesh. Today we have the special opportunity to to eat at a Chakma food restaurant right within Dhaka! Hebaang Restaurant - Hebaang invited us for an authentic Chakma tribal meal. They bring many of their ingredients from their village in the mountains near Chittagong. Tonight the menu was huge, so many different dishes and an incredible variety. I was pleasantly surprised by their use of shrimp paste in many dishes and their use of green chilies and plenty of fresh herbs. Along with the many other dishes, one of the main dishes they made was a village chicken, mixed with spices and herbs and green chilies, then stuffed into a long bamboo pole and roasted over the fire. The food was delicious and the hospitality and company was spectacular. Next trip to Bangladesh I really hope to visit some of the villages and tribes in the Chittagong Hills to learn about more of their amazing food culture. Lalthazuala: Chakmas are minority people in our state Mizoram, India. Many of them are there in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Tripura. Some of the Chakma people in our state Mizoram have Indian citizenship too.
Their Shrimp paste is called DANGPUITHU in their language. Only some of the Chakmas in Mizoram are Christians but the rest are Buddhist or Hindus. The live in the South Western parts of our state Mizoram, India.

During the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, the British betrayed the Chakma people.
The two conditions for the division of the subcontinent on the basis of biracialism were: Pakistan would be made up of Muslim-majority areas and India would be made up of non-Muslim-majority areas.
But even after the Chakma community settled in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, the Buddhists, that is, non-Muslims, the British made it part of East Pakistan.
According to the basic condition of two nation theory, it was due to India. The people of the Chakma tribe have been wronged. From the time of Ziaur Rahman's government in 1970, Bengali Muslims were being allowed to live in the Chittagong Hill Tracts from other places. As a result, the people of this Chakma community will soon become a minority in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Please come Bangladesh again. And visit our Chittagong hill area. There are lots of food to explore, also the scenario of our hill track. It's just amazing. Hill side area's livelihood is so much different than other district. You could explore so much better than this.
Restaurant is good. But when you will visit the authentic place it would be the best feeling

I'm proud to be chakma, people in outside world should know we are not bengali even though we are Bangladeshi, and our food, culture, appearance religion, every thing is very distinct from bengali. we r less than 1 percent in the country, still proudly preserving our uniqueness
