Abstract

The Bihari community in Bangladesh originated from the Indian states of Bihar and West Bengal after the Partition of India in 1947. Approximately 300,000 Biharis are living in 116 camps around Bangladesh since the liberation war in 1971. Because of their political ideology and participation in the liberation war against the independence of Bangladesh, this community is socially and politically isolated. This isolation causes multiple issues in the Bihari camp residents’ lives. Poverty is the major problem of the camp residents. In addition, housing problems, inadequate education, drinking water, sanitation facilities, healthcare services, legal aid, and socio-political discrimination have made their lives difficult. The International Republican Institute (IRI) found several challenges in the Bihari community in their qualitative study. It includes- social and political alienation, poverty, discrimination in the job market, inadequate healthcare services, poor sanitation facilities, scarcity of clean drinking water, congested housing, and drug trafficking. In this study, the researcher intends to discover the extent of the current challenges and problems of the Bihari community living in Bangladesh.
