Abstract
This chapter aims to present a logical discussion on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how they are being treated as incorrect concepts in the academic world and the ethnic community. The Santal is one of the examples from Bangladesh. Methodologically, this chapter follows the 'capability approach' by Amartya Sen to understand the changing trend in the Santal community of Bangladesh. The discussion shows that despite being a global phenomenon, sustainable development is not an ideal coupling phrase to combat global issues because it falls into the global trap within. Based on secondary data from the literature and the first author's reflections, the study of versatile literature has been noted in this chapter.
