Dalue adivasis
Dalue adivasis have been living in the hilly areas of the greater Mymensingh districts for about 1200 years. Bangladesh has sixty four districts, but the Dalue people live only in the greater Mymensingh district. Once they were majority people in that area. But the situation has changed. Most of them have left the country. They are extremely poor and their literacy rate is very low.
They are so neglected that even text books do not have any reference to them. The government should look into the matter.
