The Bengali Muslim Settlers are land less Bengali speaking Muslims from
the plain land districts of Bangladesh, majority are from Chittagong, Noakhali,
Comilla, and Sylhet districts. The Bangladesh Government and the Military lured
the poor Bengali Muslim families with money and promise of empty land in the
Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT).
The real motive was to outnumber the indigenous Buddhist people in the
CHT and evict them from their traditional land and Islamize the CHT and then
the Buddhist Arakan across the border in Burma.
