It is well known to us that Bangladesh is small and over populated country in the world. But it is true that in this small country there live a various types of people such as general Muslim, Hindu, christian, indigenous people, Buddhists and tribal. Excluding the Muslim all are minority considering the total population. Among the total population 13 percent people are minority and half of them are ethnic minority. The ethnic minority people living the different hilly areas as well as in plain land. I am here sharing with the ethnic minority people living in plain land. They are living in a scattered way in the whole country but their living status is very poor. They have no respect and dignity in the society. The general people usually hate them. They have no access to and entrance authority to the household of the general people. As they are hated by the general people, they cannot take food in the households of the general people and cannot enter into the households of general people.
Their rights are violating in different ways. These ethnic minority people are generally becoming the victim of violence, torture, repression, land grabbing, rape, indignity, humiliation and undermining. Further, most of the ethnic minority people are poor and extreme poor and day laborer but there is discrimination regarding wage. They are not getting justice from the society when they become the victim of violence as they perpetrators have linkages with the local administration. They do not get the equal wage in comparison to general people. Again, as there exist day laborer from the general people, they are becoming the victim of discrimination. They get very little chance to work and sale their labor.
Finally, it can be opined that their poverty situation gradually deteriorating. The government and development actors should come forward and need to give extra attention to improve their situation.
