“Education is the backbone of the society”. This proverb is well-preserved in the English literature. An English speaking people around the globe that well by-heart when they start study at Primary level. We have experienced that billions of languages and dialects speaking society in the different corner of the world. Some are develop, under-develop and undeveloped societies. This proverb is very suitable for develop and under-develop societies. But, it is very hard to accept 100% for the undeveloped societies- like our Chakma society. After many countries travel; studies 12 languages; and experienced different society peoples in different part of the globe. Now, I personally experienced that some societies people- after their higher education- they forgetting their language, culture, heritage, identity, religion, history and even their society. We also experienced in our society too that hundreds of highly educated Chakmas around the globe, who are neglecting their own language, culture, religion, history, society, etc by simply ignoring, avoiding and hiding. They knew that the society have lots of hope on them and waiting their philosophical ideas to develop and help them. But, their Golden Brain (Mental Action), Wise Voice (Verbal Action), Silver Fingers (Physical Action) is not putting Energy toward their own society. If, they failed to contribute something in this life time, they will be debt toward their society. I agreed with them that they are educated, but not wise. Their education is only to establish and develop their own life to adjust with other developing and under-developing societies. The wise and educated always think about this - (1) which society I belong from? (2) What was my society? (2) Where is my society? (3) Where will be my society? Here, society meaning is history, culture, heritage, identity, language, custom, etc. As an educated person-we should not be removing these important points from our golden heart. No matter, wherever, whenever, and whoever!
