This investigative report delves into the struggles of the ethnically migrated Munda community during pregnancy, shedding light on how increasing salinity levels exacerbate their financial burden during childbirth. Salinity often leads to edema, a condition where the body retains excess water to counter saline effects, resulting in elevated blood pressure and a heightened risk of premature childbirth. Consequently, the associated expenses can be up to ten times higher than those of a natural birth. The Mundas, originally from Rachi, Jharghand—an infertile region of India—were brought to the coastal areas of Bangladesh during the British colonial era. Despite their efforts to improve their socioeconomic status, the Mundas face significant challenges due to their low-caste status and lack of access to education, employment, and essential resources. Now, they must confront the additional obstacle of salinity as they strive to improve their circumstances.
