Everybody has to be worked together for the greater interest of ensuring racial harmony in the society. Along with majority Bangla speaking people, there are eleven indigenous communities living in hills who speak in their ten own languages that enriched the cultural diversity in the country. So, it’s very imperative to maintain communal harmony and peaceful co-existence between majority Bengali and ethnic people living in Chittagong Hill Tracts. If we failed to do so, then we couldn’t be able to build a civilised society and our country will lag behind in different ways. As the peace and stability is a pre-condition for any development in a country, no one will be tolerated or spared those who try to destabilise the peaceful situation in the region.
