The indigenous peoples of Bangladesh refer to ethnic minorities in Chittagong Hill Tracts (southeastern), Sylhet Division (northeastern), Rajshahi Division (northwestern), and Mymensingh District (north-central) areas of the country. The total population of indigenous ethnic minorities in Bangladesh was estimated to be over 2 million in 2010.They are diverse ethnic communities including Tibeto-Burman, Austric and Dravidian people.
Quite a few of these groups, such as the Chakmas and Marmas (the largest and second largest), migrated to Bangladesh before the British period from modern Burma. Others migrated from Central India, where they are referred to as Adivasi (Indigenous). Most of these groups are often disadvantaged compared to ethnic Bengalis since Bangladesh was created as a Bengali nation-state. Ethnic minorities of Bangladesh have their own cultural traditions and, frequently, languages. Vast number of indigenous tribes of Bangladesh are traditionally Buddhists and Hindus by faith while others are Christians and animists.
