 Who are the Rohingyas?

• The Rohingyas are one of the most Persecuted Communities in the world.
• They have been living in the state of Arakan since the 8th Century.
• They have been under extreme scrutiny by the Burmese government.
• They haven't been recognized as citizens of The Union of Burma since
Burmese independence in 1948, instead they are known as 'Non Citizens‘.
• 1 Million Rohingya living in Myanmar (before the 2016–17)
• The majority are Muslim while a minority are Hindu.
• Described by the United Nations in 2013 as one of the most persecuted
minorities in the world, the Rohingya population is denied citizenship under
the 1982 Myanmar Nationality Law.
A short history of the Rohingya people

A short history of the Rohingya people

• 1945: Britain liberated Burma

• 1948: Tensions escalated between the government
of Burma and Rohingya
• 1977: Operation Nagamin or Dragon King
• 1978: Bangladesh repatriated refugees
 A short history of the Rohingya people

• 1982 – Rohingyas became stateless

• 1989 – Burma became Myanmar
• 1991 – 250,000 Rohingya refugees fled Myanmar
• 1992 to 1997 – 230,000 refugees under another un
agreement
• 2016 – Rohingyas once again face atrocities
 Why are the Rohingyas in Trouble?
• The Burmese Junta have discriminated the Rohingya, because they are not
similar in Looks,
• Speak A Different Language, Have A Different Religion.
• As a means of clamping down on the Rohingya, the Junta have restricted
even the most basic of Rights
• Such As Education, Marriage And Citizenship.
• The Burmese government endorse the Burmese Culture and the Buddhist
faith for their National Citizens.
• But the Rohingyas fall outside of this ideal criteria because they want to
retain their own culture and the Muslim faith.
• As a result, the Rohingyas, sidelined and marginalized, have to live with
their Derogatory National status of 'non-citizens‘.

2017, the Rohingya population in Myanmar was around 1.0 to 1.3 million, chiefly in
the northern Rakhine townships, which were 80–98% Rohingya.
• Since 25 August 2017 To 25 October 2017, over 605,000 Rohingya refugees have
fled to South Eastern Bangladesh (Cox’s Bazar District) alone, and more to other
surrounding countries, and major Muslim nations.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO UNRAVEL THE
ROHINGYA CRISIS

“The additional you sweat in peace the less you

bleed in war”
 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RECONCILIATION:
• Establishment of associate native investigation team
• Instantaneous removal of blockade of aid like food, medical
providers and alternative essential things by the govt. into the
Rohingya integrated data processing camps
• Provide access of safe passage to humanitarian and relief
agencies
• Immediate ascent of discriminatory policies and restrictions like
on movement, marriage, holding property, taxation therefore
providing freedom and ease to measure. Myanmar ‘s policy for
minorities needs to be in line with international human rights
framework
 CONCLUSION
• Despite international provisions, treaties, world conventions and
alternative diplomatic measures to forestall the incidence of
atrocities, crimes and ferociously actions on civilians, violence
against Rohingya Muslims in Union of Burma continues intense
•A long, permanent and responsible stratagem that helps
integrate the Rohingyas and alternative minorities; recognizing
their sacrifices and contributions to the country therefore making
areas for each person, while not discrimination and giving full
expression of speech to his or her potential, free from any worry,
resultantly leading the peace and tranquility to prevail round the
globe.
