Constitutional change
Post-Partition and post-independence settlements altered how special administration and regional safeguards were argued and governed.
Causes, chronology, negotiation, and unfinished transition
Conflict and peace
This chapter separates political demands, armed conflict, militarisation, displacement, civilian experience, negotiation, the 1997 Accord, and the evidence needed to assess the continuing transition.

A conflict with braided causes, not one origin
Constitutional change, Kaptai displacement, land, settlement, militarization, and political demands form a braided history.
Kaptai displacement
Concentrated land loss and incomplete durable rehabilitation shaped later claims, mobility, and distrust.
Land and settlement
Tenure conflict, state-assisted settlement, demographic change, and competing rights claims became intertwined.
Political demands
Regional safeguards, representation, and autonomy demands changed over time. One organization’s position never establishes a whole community’s view.
Militarization and armed organization
Formation, armed-wing organization, first activity, and sustained insurgency have different dates and cannot be collapsed into one onset.
Civilian harm and displacement
Indigenous and Bengali civilians experienced violence, relocation, fear, and loss. Ethnicity does not establish affiliation, responsibility, or guilt.
No single-cause diagram
The strands interact, but chronology alone does not prove causation. Grave allegations remain attributed, corroboration and procedural status stay visible, and identity is never evidence of armed affiliation.
3 records
Current record
Formation, armed activity, civilian harms, ceasefires, negotiations, returns, and the Accord appear with disputed dates visible.
Review state: current-status check required where conditions can change.
Historical record
Source wording, date, boundaries, and original categories remain attached to the record.
Evidence gap
Missing, incompatible, unsafe, or insufficiently local evidence stays visible rather than being inferred.
No records match this view. Reset the controls to restore all records.
Filter the chronology by record type. Conflicting dates remain visible, and the reset restores every entry.
Editorial visual
Negotiation, return, the Accord, and an unfinished transition
Negotiation, return, signing, and demobilization reveal both what the Accord changed and what it did not end.

Constitutional change, Kaptai displacement, land, political demands, militarization and state-assisted settlement interacted. Chronology does not prove one cause, and identity does not establish affiliation or responsibility. [MS0104][MS0105][MS0107][MS0109]
Sources date the unilateral ceasefire to 1 or 10 August 1992, so “August 1992” is the safe precision. The 9 July 1992 body was a government committee composed mainly of parliamentarians. No trusted comprehensive casualty registry was located.
The 2 December 1997 Accord changed councils and created land, rehabilitation, demobilization and camp-withdrawal obligations, but did not resolve every land claim or end later factional conflict. Government and PCJSS implementation totals remain attributed and incompatible. [MS0268][MS0114]
