In the early days of 15th
century, the Arakanese kingdom, where Mrauk U was the capital, expended its
territories to the Chittagong area of Bengal. After the victory of Arakan on
Burma's Pegu kingdom in 1599 AD, the Arakanese king Min Razagyi appointed a Prince
of Pegu, Maung Saw Pru as the governor of newly established Bohmong Htaung
(Circle) by giving the title of "Bohmong" Raja. That area was mostly
populated by the Arakanese descendants and ruled by the Burmese (Myanmar) noble
descendants who started to call themselves in Arakanese language as Marma.
Marma is an archaic Arakanese pronunciation for Myanmar. As the population of
the Bohmong Htaung were of Arakanese descandants, these Myanmar-descendants
Bohmong chiefs (Rajas) of the ruling class took the titles in Arakanese and
speak a dialect of the Arakanese language.
Bandarban Hill District was once
called Bohmong Htaung since the Arakanese rule. Once Bohmong Htaung was ruled
by Bohmong Rajas who were the subordinates to the Arakanese kings. Ancestors of
the present Bohmong dynasty were the successor of the Pegu King of Burma under
Arakan's rule in Chittagong. In 1614, King Khamaung, the king of Arakan
appointed Maung Saw Pru as Governor of Chittagong who in 1620 repulsed the
Portuguese invasion with great valour. As a consequence, Arakanese king,
Khamaung adorned Maung Saw Pru with a title of Bohmong meaning Great General.
After the death of Maung Saw Pru two successors retained Bohmong title. During
the time of Bohmong Hari Gneo in 1710, Arakanese King Sanda Vijaya (Canda
Wizaya) recaptured Chittagong from the Mughals. Bohmong Hari Gneo helped King
Sanda Vijaya in recapturing Chittagong and as a mark of gratitude the later
conferred on Bohmong Hari Gneo the grand title of Bohmong Gree which means
great Commander in Chief.
