| description | This paper explores the multifaceted challenges faced by ethnicminorities in Bangladesh, emphasizing their distinct linguistic, cultural, andsocial identities. These communities experience persistent ethnoculturalinjustice, including discrimination by the state, internal community conflicts,and violations of fundamental rights. Indigenous women, in particular, sufferfrom layered oppression due to their gender and ethnic identity, facing bothpatriarchal violence within their communities and systemic marginalizationoutside. Based on Kymlicka’s Multiculturalism, this study argues that existinghuman rights frameworks are inadequate to protect ethnic minority peoples inBangladesh, especially regarding internal displacement, language policies, andpolitical representation. Moreover, this paper emphasizes implementing“Citizenship Education” in Bangladesh to foster respect for cultural diversityand promote democratic values. It further recommends legal reforms, such asrecognizing customary land rights, ratifying international conventions, and fullyimplementing the 1997 Chittagong Hill Tracts Accord. Additionally, the paperhighlights the urgent need for inclusive national policies that ensure equitableaccess to education, healthcare, and political participation for ethnic minorities,particularly women. It concludes by identifying critical areas of ethnicminorities for further research, including community-specific challenges,Marginalization of women based on race, class, and gender identity, and therole of religious institutions in shaping identities. |
