50 years review of Chakma in Arunachal Pradesh

Image
The Chakmas of Arunachal Pradesh been living in there as stateless around 50 years. Young Chakmas children are not allowing admission to go to school. They been living as refugees over four decades. They don't have basic right, lack of sanitation etc.  If they are refugees, where is the refugees schemes and UN help or Government? The government of India and State Government are just ignoring and turn blind towards Chakmas . There is no any help from state government nor from central government. Just guess, for last fifty year without any basic help from government, they must have gone under tremendous difficulties,suffering through mentally and physical.  There is no any help from state government nor from central government.

Chakma and Conversion ! Video Links :- https://youtu.be/QMNpO3zn4C0 Chakma people live in Bangladesh , India and Myanmar and some others foreign countries . Chakma are Buddhist and they've been following Buddhism since long time  and they believed that they're descent of Sakya . There was no official data of Muslim and Christian Chakma since 1950 . But now a days officially many Chakmas converting into Christianity and Islam . Hindu culture also have vast impact on Chakma . However none of them officially converted into Hindu as like Islam and Christianity . There are many reasons which are as follows . 1. Lack of knowledge about Buddhism . Misconceptions about Buddhism . No practical knowledge about Buddhism  Only mythological speech by monks . Most of Chakmas even don't know the meaning of Panchashila . Traditional Monk's use only Old Teaching Techniques, less practical knowledge about present situation . Monks don't visit to remote or hilly areas .

What is legal status of Chakma and Hajong of Arunachal Pradesh ? , wether they're Refugee or Citizen ?

During the partition of India in 1947, the Chakmas of the Chittagong Hill Tracts ( west Pakistan, now Bangladesh) sought to be a part of India and even hoisted the Indian National Flag on their Kingdom. The Partition was based on population and 98.5 percent of the population of the CHTS was non-Muslim. But the Bengal Boundary Commission headed by Redcliff awarded the CHTS to Pakistan although 98.5 percent of the population of the CHTS was non-Muslim.    Therefore many think that all Chakma came from Bangladesh and they're refugee but reality was that Assam, Tripura Mizoram Chakma were original residents of India before Independent of India . 70% of Chakmaland became part of east pakistan and 30% Chakmas  remained part of India like. Assam, Mizoram and Tripura . So they're not Bangladeshi or migrants . Only Arunachal Pradesh Chakma and Hajong migrated from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh ) but they're legal migrants . Therefore To Calling  Refugee to Arunachal Pradesh Chakma i
