Barua (Bengali: বড়ুয়া Boṛua) is the last nameof a distinct Bengali-speaking Indo-Aryanethno-religious minority group native to Chittagong Division in Bangladesh, Rakhine State in Myanmar, where they are known as the Maramagyi, and parts of Tripura in northeast India.According to Arakanesechronology, the Barua Buddhists are the ancient peoples of Bangladesh who have lived there for five thousand years.
Chittagong was formerly known as "Chaityagrama" "town with Buddhist shrines".It was a center of Mahayana Buddhism in the 10th century. Magh was the general term used for Buddhists; Baruas were sometimes termed Rajbansi "of royal descent".
They insist that they came from the Aryavartaor the country of the Aryans which is practically identical to the country later known as Majjhimadesa or Madhyadesa in the Pali texts. Bengali speaking Barua people of Chittagong are all Buddhist by religion, unlike Hindu Barua of Assam who are generally Assamese Brahmins or Ahom people or may belong to any other general caste in India. Barua came from "Baru" "great" and "arya", meaning "noble ones".
