Raids, territorialisation, and agricultural penetration : the Chittagong Hill Tracts before and after annexation, 1760-1861 -- Police, post-raids polities and creation of an economy, 1865-1885 -- The case of the disparaged chiefs, 1891-1930 -- Last attempts to reclaim authority by the hill elites and the making of indigeneity, 1920s-1930s -- Political exclusion and the tracts in the run up to partition, 1933-47 -- Conclusion.
This book sheds new light on how the concepts of ‘territory’, and of a ‘people indigenous to it’ came to be forged and politicised. By showing a far deeper historical lineage of claims making in the Tracts, it adds a new dimension to existing studies on Bangladesh’s borders and its history.
