  The Hindu : National / Elections 2004 : 40 years on, Chakma refugees win right to vote
Chakma himself did not get the franchise, he is busy trying to get the young voters of his community understand the importance of exercising their franchise, earned after a relentless struggle of 40 years.
Chakma is also the assistant general secretary of the Committee for Citizenship Rights of the Chakmas of Arunachal Pradesh (CCRCAP) that has been fighting for Indian citizenship for over 60,000 Chakma and Hajong refugees living in Arunachal Pradesh.
Though numerically the 1,497 Chakma and Hajong voters are insignificant in the poll battle between the sitting MP, Wangcha of the Congress, and Tapir Gao of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Chakma and Hajong refugee issue has tended to dominate Arunachal Pradesh politics.

The first written reference to Chakmas of the Chittagong Hill Tracts dates from about 1550 AD when the Portuguese map maker Lavanha indicated on the earliest surviving map of Bengal that Chakmas lived in a settlement on the karnafuli river.
Chakmas felt that their grievances were not taken seriously by the authorities, first in Pakistan and then in Bangladesh.
Chakma literature runs from the oral traditions of the gengkhuli singers through literary periodicals (the first of which was Goirika started in 1936) to modern poetry.

The Chakma are too few to be so fragmented and scattered, but there is little incentive for anyone to try and redress their condition.
Another 80,000 Chakmas are to be found concentrated in the southwest of Mizoram, the Indian state that is sandwiched between Burma and the CHT.
The Chakma huts are of mud and thatch, and for years they have received from the Government of India a measly daily quota of 400 grams of rice, some salt, and 20 paisa on the side.

 Chakma people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chakma, also known as the Changma, are a tribe inhabiting the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh.
Ethnically, the Chakma are Tibeto-Burman, and are thus closely related to tribes in the mountains of eastern India and much of Myanmar.
The Chakma were historically the rulers of Chittagong under the control of a king.

The Chakma voters were, however, in a quandary with all political parties contesting the Oct 7 assembly elections in the state making a vow to resettle them outside Arunachal Pradesh.
The locals allege that the Chakma's were indulging in social crimes, besides threatening to tear apart the cultural fabric of the society.
The ethnically touchy and contentious issue of granting voting rights to the Chakma and Hajong settlers in Arunachal Pradesh is bound to damage the prospects of the ruling BJP, which hopes to clinch both the seats.

Chakma says the University initially had "tremendous concerns" about the chairs because the criteria being discussed would have benefited larger institutions at the expense of smaller ones.
Chakma says the evolution this year of the Medical Research Council (MRC) into the Canada Institute for Health Research (CIHR) will broaden the definition of health research to include well-being and other social aspects of health, increasing funding options for the social sciences.
Chakma says that there are many funding opportunities, but now the challenge for the University is to capitalize on them.

 Chakma and Hajong Question
The current question of the Chakma and Hajong refugees in Arunachal Pradesh is rooted in the conflicts which emerged between the reactionary ruling blocs of India and Pakistan and, subsequently, Bangladesh, which engendered the expulsion of the Chakma and Hajong peoples from their traditional homelands.
At present the Chakmas and Hajongs are settled in Chowkham in Lohit district; Miao, Bordumsa and Diyun in Changlang district, and Balijan and Kokila in Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh.
It may not be fair to blame it on the indigenous people for their increasing assertiveness on the issue of eviction of the refugees from the state for they fear that rapid demographic changes in the three districts since 1951 may soon see them being outnumbered with all its concomitant social, economic and political consequences.

The Chakmas are living as second grade citizen without any right of franchise, right to carry on trade and commerce, purchase of land and properties of fixed nature and thus deprived of their basic human rights.

According to the judgement delivered in Khudiram Chakma-vs-State of Arunachal Pradesh, the Chakma refugees are foreigners and they have no right and claim to have a permanent residence and the authority concerned may at any time ask them to move or vacate the place or to quit the state if.

A new city has crept out of the water around the lake, a scattered circular settlement: what were the peaks of hills are now islands and embankments surrounded by water, reached only by leaky country boats.
Between 1980 and 1997, almost 10,000 people are known to have died in the low-intensity war which ravaged the already damaged environment and culture of the Chakmas.
The cause of conflict was the influx of Bengali settlers from the plains in the 1970s: this upset the demographic balance, and made the traditional jhum (slash and burn) cultivation no longer sustainable.
