The Kuki people are an indigenous community primarily found in India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the Kuki people are primarily concentrated in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region, which is located in the southeastern part of the country bordering India and Myanmar.
The Kukis in Bangladesh are often referred to as the "Tripura Kukis," as they are primarily found in the districts of Rangamati, Bandarban, and Khagrachhari, which are home to the Tripura people as well. According to the 2011 Census of Bangladesh, the total population of the Kuki people in the country was around 8,800. However, due to limited data and the complexity of defining and identifying different Kuki subgroups, it is difficult to determine an exact number.
The Kuki people in Bangladesh, like other indigenous communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, have faced a number of challenges in recent decades due to armed conflicts, land disputes, and political tensions. However, efforts are underway to promote peace and development in the region, including through the implementation of the Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord signed in 1997.
