It can give one new insights and re- quires a broad outlook. In most cases, social research takes time. Within this time, the researcher’s perspective, the situation or the context of the problem may vary. I experienced this in several ways, which forced me to critically view the research topic right throughout the study period. My supervisor Göran Djurfeldt has been with me all through the journey with his fabulous research skills and extraordinary patience in guiding a student. Perhaps I can best acknowledge his contribution by saying that I would be very proud if I could guide any of my students as he has guided me. I recall his very kind e-mails when I first contacted him regarding my research proposal and admission into the Department of Sociology at Lund University. I must add that Lund University has given me a deeper insight into research as well as a new outlook on the academic world. My assistant supervisor Katarina Sjöberg has read my work very assiduously. Several times, her comments, guidance and logical and critical analyses have changed my views and thoughts towards my research. I acknowledge the contribution of Staffan Lindberg, my examiner throughout the course work, as well as those of Anna-Lisa Lindén, professor and former PhD director, Gunnar Andersson, head of the depart- ment of sociology at Lund University and Mats Beronius, former chairman of the department. I must appreciate comments and suggestion provided by Ulf Johansson Dahre, Social Anthropologist, Victor Da Rosa, Professor in Sociology, University of Ottawa, Professor Lipi Ghosh from Calcutta University and Professor Alia Ahmed from Lund University. I must show heartiest gratitude and respect to Dr. Rangalal Sen, my teacher at University of Dhaka who inspired me for higher education and research and provided me the insights on basic sociological theories and on the social prob- lems of Bangladesh Society. I also acknowledge Professor A.K.M Nurun Nabi who always steer me to be devoted to sociological research. I would like to thank Professor Harun-or-Rashid, Pro-vice chancellor and former Dean of social sciences, at University of Dhaka, who helped me to gain a partial scholarship from the University of Dhaka. Professor S. Aminul Islam, A. I. Mahbub Uddin Ahmed and Mahbuba Nasreen helped me to develop the research proposal at the beginning of the study. Professor H.K.S Arefeen, Khondokar Mokaddem Hossain, Monirul Islam Khan, Sadeka Halim, also gave me valuable direction dur- ing my field work in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. 11 Robina Ang and Rupsha Das Gupta have done a fantastic job with their valuable comments and proofreading of my manuscripts. Their excellent suggestions helped me a lot. Lisa Eklund, Axel Fredholm, Olle Frödin, Charlotta Zettervall, Chia Ling Yang and other PhD candidates shared their views on my topic and thus shaped my ideas more accurately and contributed to the fulfillment of the project. Zahir, my colleague, Debasish, Moniruzzaman and Romesh – young fellows of mine – were also very helpful in shaping my research proposal, questionnaire and SPSS results and findings. My youngest brother Bappy and my friend Nasir accompanied me during my last field work at Langadu. I thank the department of Sociology at the University of Chittagong for putting me in touch with such reliable and trustworthy research assistants among their Adibasi students. I cannot really find words to adequately describe Basu Mitro Chakma, a student at the University of Chittagong, and my research assistant. He is an excellent travel guide, and also a very affectionate person. I wish him a safe and bright future. I give my heartiest thanks to all of my respondents, interviewees and key personnel. Without their support, this study would have not been possible. I remember late Professor Syed Ahmed Khan who taught me the gravity of em- pirical research during my Master studies at University of Dhaka. I recall with ap- preciation the late Professor Samsul Huda Harun who encouraged me when I started my dissertation. He unfortunately passed away in the middle of my endeavor. Another personal loss that I suffered during my thesis work was the death of my father in December, 2007. As I was in Bangladesh at that time for the purpose of fieldwork, I could pay my last tribute to him and support my bereaved family. I dedicate this dissertation to his memory. I would also like to specially thank my mother, who has encouraged me and shown me the importance of education. My siblings, friends, and in-laws bestowed on me immense support without which I would not have completed my work.

HOSSAIN1, M. KHATUN2, M. A. MATIN3 AND M. F. DEWAN4 Keywords: Hill regions, fruits, area, production, productivity, trend and growth rate. The fruits have vital role in making human diet balanced. Standard of living of people generally judged by per capita production and consumption of fruits (Bairwa et al., 2012). Bangladesh is producing a variety of fruits owing to its various agro-climatic conditions. Perennial crops like trees normally remain as grossly under exploited potential resources in hill agriculture. Fruits are usually grown by the hilly farmers and these crops give them few opportunities. Fruits play a unique role in developing countries like Bangladesh, both economic and social sphere for improving income and nutritional status, particularly for hilly people. Besides nutritional advantages, there are other competing reasons for which fruit production in hilly areas deserves preference. These include: (i) due to agro climatic features, horticulture is the only vocation through which higher income per unit of land can be generated. (ii) fruit farming helps in proper utilization of areas (iii) fruit cultivation allows optimum utilization of the gift of nature in making it possible to upgrade inferior fruit trees into superior ones by top working and by adopting other techniques of vegetative propagation (iv) given suitable combination, fruit farming can even be taken as a complementary occupation in hills to a set of other business propositions (Wasim, 2011). Siddiqu (2001) reported that very good quality litchi grows in the Chittagong district in hill area.

  • The Making of Political Forests in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh: the State, Development and Indigeneity
    THE MAKING OF POLITICAL FORESTS IN THE CHITTAGONG HILL TRACTS, BANGLADESH: THE STATE, DEVELOPMENT AND INDIGENEITY KHAIRUL CHOWDHURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES OF YORK UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2014 © Khairul Chowdhury 2014 Abstract This dissertation offers an anthropological and genealogical account of forests and social forestry, in particular the way they came to be constituted over time in one particular social- ecological context of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh. It draws on ethnographic fieldwork to examine how discourses of forest and forest relations in CHT since British rule have changed and shaped agrarian relations of the hill peoples and their relations to power. As such, this dissertation explores forest history in relation to an ‘ethnically’ different and ‘small group’ of population living within a nation-state so as to understand how nature/environment is constituted as a terrain of governmental power, subject formation, and state building. The analysis is informed by Michel Foucault’s ideas of discourse, power and knowledge; Peter Vandergeest’s and Nancy Peluso’s theory of territorialization and political forests; K. Sivaramakrishnan’s critical work on the production of colonial state, society, and knowledge in a forested region of colonial Bengal, and Tania Li’s and Arun Agrawal’s theoretical and ethnographic work on governmentality, indigenous communities, and resource struggles. The chapters of this dissertation are organized around the political regimes of Britain, Pakistan and Bangladesh, highlighting continuities and discontinuities in the making and remaking of political forests.
