Uchohla Vanté
A Torchbearer among Indigenous People

Uchohla Vanté is a name loved and revered by the indigenous people of Bangladesh. He has become a symbol among these people. In Bandarban, his birthplace, 11 groups of indigenous people now see him as a conveyer of peace and harmony. Vanté was a man ready to start a career in the administration, but a dramatic turn of events led his course to the path of Buddhism. His educational background, religious training and wisdom paved the way for him to position himself at the centre of all the 'adibashis' living in his native land. However, it is his recent activities that have made him a precursor of peace and fraternity among all indigenous people.
