As a freedom state, the history of Bangladesh is not that much older, like its different indigenous groups. According govt. and non- govt. statistics, there is almost 45 indigenous groups are available here in Bangladesh. And most of them are living in the south eastern hill tracts areas of greater Chittagong, Sylhet, Maymansing, Patuakhali including many areas of north Bengal. As the other indigenous groups of the world, these people are also depending on nature to survive their lives by maintaining livelihood. And this simplicity is very clear in every spear of their everyday lifestyle. The maximum portion of their daily necessities are serving by their native environment, which is still represented in their spiritual thoughts and customs. The Bowm community is one of them.

Now a days it sounds very alarming that, the number of Bowm community people and their diversities are decreasing day by day. These people are getting harassed and marginalized in the name of development, modern tourism, forestation and in name of many others excuses. And the most vulnerable thing is that, the overall situation s almost similar about other indigenous groups not only in Bangladesh, but also in all over the world. Through my photographs I tried to focus on this alarming issue.
