Ethnic groups of our country Hello friends, previously I have discussed about two ethnic groups of our country. Today, I am again going to discuss about another two groups. Hope you guys will like it and can know about the diversity of my country. You can also go through my earlier article about ethnic groups by this link: https://read.cash/@Piku/ethnic-groups-of-bangladesh-d7b4cb4c you will also like it. **The Tripura** The Tripura are another ethnic group in our country. They mainly live in the **Chittagong hill track**. They are the third-largest group after the Chakma and Marma. They are originally from the state of **Tripura in north-east India**. The Tripura language is **Kokborok**.
The Tripura people live in a collective group called "**Dafa**". There are a total of 36 Dafa, 16 in Bangladesh, and 20 in the state of Tripura. It is a **patriarchal society** but boys inherit from fathers and girls from mothers. Tripura people are basically **Hindu** religion. They worship Shiva and Kali. But they also have their own god " **Ker**" who protects their village.
***Their houses*** are raised up on stairs. Women wear "**Rinai**" on their lower halves and "**Risa**" above. They wear plenty of beads and earrings called "**Natong**". *The men wear dhoti, towels, lungi, and shirt*. The Tripura celebrates birth, death, wedding. " **Boishu**" is their new year celebration. When women visit their village they wear beads and enjoy a lot. **The Mro** **The Mro** are one of the **jumma groups** lives in different *Upazilas of Bandarban District, Chittagong, Bangladesh*. This is near the border with Myanmar. Their language is called **Mru**. It is both can be written and spoken. Most Mro are **Buddhists**. But in the past their religion was "**Torai**", with a sect called " **Krama**". Some of them have also accepted **Christianity**. Their society is **Patriarchal**. And they have a village based-organisation.
**Mro houses** are called "**Kim**". Their houses are build with bamboo walls and platforms and a straw roof. The women often wear a dark blue cloth called "**Wanglai**". The men wear a strip of cloth called " **Lengti**". The Mro celebrate all kinds of festivals like birth, death, wedding. There is also a ritual to pierce ear when a child reaches at the age of 3. ****The pictures which are included all are licensed free.*** *I hope you guys like this article.

I wonder why they are ethnic. Who decides they are? Are they foreigners or? We have all kinds of races living in the Netherlands but no one ever said people from Indonesia and China are ethnic groups. I noticed they are never mentioned. Groups mentioned are those who molest, do not like to fit in. 👍
They are basically foreigner but they live in mostly hill track areas, their lifestyle, language, dressing and their social culture all are different from us. They are minority groups. They have different culture but they are not neglected here. Rather most of them read, and work with us in the same platform. Here they have a different zone for their living. And these people are living in our country from many hundred or thousands years. Hope you get my point. ☺
Does this mean they have a different home country, nationality?
Nope, as they are living in our country since thousands years ago, their nationality is Bangladeshi. Their new generation are now becoming more updated and doing many government job also.
Okay, thanks for explaining. 👍
Thank you too 🥰
Nice ethnic groups
Yep, they also looks cute! Thanks for your support.

I wanted to go to the hills to see their way of life and enjoy nature and their eating habits.
You can go. There are many ethnic people in Bandarban. And you can easily get along with them.
The ethnic groups are also our countrymen. They need to be explore. We have to help them in this case. Keep exploring ethnic people to worldwide, though this world can know about them.
