The indigenous people of Bangladesh are facing exploitation, deprivation and torment. Forest and land are the life line of ethnic people. But the trees of jungle are being chopped recklessly, there is a plan to wipe out the indigenous people. The indigenous people are losing their land due to the conspiracy hatched by an influential group. No steps are being taken to protect and preserve the indigenous culture and lifestyle. The rights of the indigenous people have to be protected as they are guaranteed by the law of the land.
