In the Chittagong hill country, a contact zone between hill-dwelling swidden cultivators and wet-rice cultivators of the plains, a distinct category of hillmen, represented most numerously by the Chakma, Moghs, and Tippera, has evolved. Their differentiation from the mountain folk is inferred to be in part a product of long contact with civilization based on wet-rice culture. They have acquired the character of swidden peasants, without having turned to a wet-rice peasant economy until recently. An examination of the conditions under which these changes have taken place suggests that the critical element in the shift from swidden to plow cultivation has been the change in the balance of political power in the region
