Though the  principal dwelling place of Jummo People in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh- they have been spreading in the Indian North-Eastern States of Mizoram, Tripura, Assam and Arunachal from early 20th century for many reasons. The beginning of  replacement has taken place in the early  20th century  as because of economic and social insecurity in a small scale in the region- but the mass exodus has taken place in 1947-48 during the period of partition of  Indian Sub-Continent into two independent states, India and Pakistan and in 1960-65 when the then Pakistani military ruler was created a artificial reservoir by building a dam to produce Hydro-Electritcity at Kaptai. The main dwelling places of Jummo People had been submerged by this revervoir and 40% of fertile cultivable land of the area went under the water. The affected Jummo People had not been properly compensated by the then Pakistani Authority and there was no proper step to rehabilitate them. As a result, the  mass exodus has taken place in the history of CHT.More than 100,000  Jummo People were uprooted by the reservoir  about 60,000 flet to India most of them are living in Arunachal Province now without right to citizen.

After the independent of Bangladesh many people were also compelled to leave the CHT- as because of suppressions and oppressions by Bangladesh military and illegal Bengali settlers. During the period of General Zia-Ur-Rahman and General Hussain Muhammad Ershad in 1979-83 more than 400,000 Illegal Bengali settlers were infiltrated in CHT under  Government petronization and tousands of Military, Para-Military, Anser and VDP(Village Defence Party) were marched to the CHT to protect the illegal  Bengali settlers. The Bengali settlers had occufied the dwelling places of Jummo People so that a huge amount of them were compelled to take shelter in the aforesaid states of India.

Now a days many Jummo People have also been migrating to the North America, Australia, Europe and East Asia for economic and political reasons. Whatever the reasons of displacing and out-going of Jummo People from the CHT- it is necessary to keep alive our socio-cultural and linguistic unity among ourselves. It is noteworthy to mention that  the political leadership of Jummo People is divided into three groups now, such as the JSS (Santu Larma), the JSS (Reformist) and the UPDF (United Peoples` Democratic Front). They are very active to kill each other. Their present activities are totally self-destroying  and for that reason they have already lost peoples´ faith by own doings. For that very political cause, the Jummo People are also dis-unified  mentally and in thinking both in home and abroad.
