Diemazz

The Bawm-Zo are a tribal group living in the Bandarban district and a small fraction in the Rangamati district of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh as well as parts of Mizoram. Of Chin origin and speaking a Tibeto-Burman dialect, their tribal population stands at 6,000. Their name Bawm means ties.

Religion

Owing to the efforts of Baptist Christian missionaries funded by the British government since 1918, the majority of the Bawm have converted to Christianity, and it was said that all of them are Christians. As of today, there are relatively few Bawm who still cling to their Animist faith, as Protestant Christians dismiss such practices as occult.
