Major ethnic religions are :
Hinduism
Judaism
Shinto
Chinese folk religion
Vodun.
In Bangladesh, indigenous Adivasi communities,
constituting around 1.8% of the population, face
systemic marginalization and discrimination.
Despite their significant cultural and ethnic diversity,
these communities are often undercounted and
neglected in official records, leading to their
exclusion from essential resources and development
initiativesThe government's refusal to recognize the
distinct identities and rights of indigenous peoples
further
exacerbates
their
marginalization, perpetuating a cycle of injustice and
inequality.

Ethnic groups from the plains of Bangladesh reside in
isolated regions and face political marginalization. These
groups experience discrimination, harsh living conditions,
inadequate government services, and land confiscation based
on past discrimination. The voices of plainland ethnic groups
are scarce, as they are not well-represented at the local and
national levels. NGOs, both local and foreign, ought to keep
advocating for the rights of the plainland ethnic group and
helping Bangladesh's ethnic minority learn how to speak up
for themselves

groups in Bangladesh
