Cultural assimilation and survival strategy of ethnic people in Bangladesh: Bangali dress on ethnic physique in Chittagong Hill Tracts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ethnic communities in Bangladesh have been displacing from their traditional way of life since the British colonial period. Authoritarian policies of the State of Pakistan and Bangladesh victimized the indigenous minorities; therefore their existence is disappearing. As a result, ethnic people become passive and helpless in their own-nurtured land. They are increasingly outnumbering by the mainstream Bangali population in formerly ethnic inhabited zone Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) due to population movement policy of the state. Given the situation, the ethnic people have adapted few strategies for their survival in the disservice socio-economic structure. Bangali costume instead of tradition costume is one of the strategies adopted by the ethnic minority in CHT. The paper will focuses on how dress can be a visible signifier that symbolizes the cultural assimilation, and how dress can be a weapon of strategy for survival of minority against the majority. Key words: Pahari; Bangali; Ethnicity; Military Forces; Peace Accord Resume: Depuis l’epoque de la colonisation britanique, les communautes ethniques au Bangladesh se sont eloignees de leur mode de vie traditionnel. Les politiques autoritaires du Pakistan et du Bangladesh repriment les minorites indigenes et leur presence disparait peu a peu. Le resultat est que ces peuples deviennent passifs et faibles dans leur propre region. Dans la region montagneuse de Chittagong, a cote du courant principal du Bengali, qui etait une zone peuplee autrefois, leur nombre est en croissanc soutenue a cause de la politique de deplacement demographique de l’Etat. La situation exige et les peuples ont donc adopte plusieurs strategies de survie dans cette structure socio-economique defavorable. Le constume bengal a la place de traditionnel est l’une des strategies adoptees par les ethnies minoritaires dans cette region. L’article va centrer sur comment le costume peut etre une signe visible qui symbolise l’assimilation culturelle et comment il peut devenir un outil de strategie de survie pour les monirites face a la majorite. Mots-Cles: Pahari; Bengali; Ethnicite; forces militaries; l’Accord de paix

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
