Understanding the social exclusion process of the Garo Indigenous Community of Bangladesh

Indigenous communities historically live outside of the state. Colonialism, feudalism, and globalization have pushed them to society's fringe. In many nations, indigenous communities feel they are isolated from mainland society. This study examines the exclusion process of the Garo indigenous community of Bangladesh. Garo indigenous Community lives in Madhupur Sal forest, and they often express they are socially excluded. Based on specific characteristics of social exclusion, this study examines the social exclusion process of the Garo indigenous community in Bangladesh. It finds that Garo communities are socially excluded in terms of economic, cultural, social rights, and social involvement. The empirical data shows that they feel isolated because of their religion, cultural practice, and stereotypical thinking of the mainland community.
