This article focuses on the inhabitants of Ratargul living next to the Sylhet Cantonment of the Bangladesh Army. Since 1977, construction of the cantonment has gradually driven villagers from their land, with no significant opposition. This alienation will soon reach full completion through the new extension plans of the cantonment. Villagers anticipate this expansion with fear and express anger at the poverty caused by land appropriation. However, in their accounts,  dukkho  (grief) overshadows their fear and anger. What do they grieve for, exactly? The article suggests that  dukkho  is an expression of grief over material losses but also of pain over the disappearance of previous forms of life. Additionally,  dukkho  represents villager’s regret over missed opposition opportunities that did not materialize because they were misled; as low-caste Hindus they lack solidarity; and it is still unclear who is responsible for the land capture: the army or the government.
