Who is Rohingya

   

  Rohingya are ethnic groups, large comprising Muslims, predominantly live in the western Myanmar province of Rakhine. They speak a dialect of Bangali, as oppose to the commonly spoken Burmese language, thought they have been live in south East Asian country and Myanmar considers them as persons who migrated to their land during the Colonial rule.

   

    The problem of Rohingya in western Myanmar province, is racism discrimination ethnic groups and large comprising muslims, Because in Myanmar the majority is Hindu religion and different ethnic with the compare Muslims.

   

    And Hindu people religion in Myanmar doesn't admit Rohingya, but they are have instead make statement ( "Why are they not stateless?" ).

   

   The Rohingya are a  stateless, there is no immediate threat to the Rohingyas, however, because our Government has overlooked an inconvenient fact before Mr Rijiju made his statement: we have no place to deport the Rohingyas to. They all hail from Rakhine province in Myanmar, where their ancestors settled under British rule some 150 years ago, but Myanmar refuses to recognize them among the 135 ethnic groups listed under its 1982 citizenship Act, considering them foreigners.

  

   Yangon therefore has no obligation to take back people it considers foreigners, whose presence in their country they, however outrageously, believe illegal. (Indeed, in Myanmar, the very word Rohinya is taboo: they can only be called “Bengali Muslims”, in other words illegal migrants from Bangladesh.)

     

So-Called Hindu Nationalists Forget "Atithi Devo Bhava" when instead make statement about Rohingya "why are they not stateless?"

   

    This, understandably, bothers the United Nations, which has politely pointed out that the principle of non renouncement –under which no Member State of the UN will forcibly return a refugee to a country where he or she fears persecution – is binding on all states as a principle of customary international law, whether they have signed the UN's Refugee Convention or not. The Supreme Court is now hearing a case that argues that it is illegal for the government to deport the Rohingyas.

Legalities aside, there is also a simple moral case here. Our so-called Hindu nationalists are, as usual, forgetting the values on which the Hindu faith is base, one cardinal principle of which a ‘atithi devo bhava’, the guest is like God.

     It is adherence to such values that has given India its standing in the world; if we flout international humanitarian law and practice, at a time when Western countries are admitting Syrian refugees despite similar fears of Islam and terrorism, our country will fall in the esteem of the world, and more important, in our own eyes.

Refugees bring a great deal to their host countries. Einstein was a refugee. Tom Stoppard was a refugee. In our own country, Milkha Singh was a refugee. They fled their homelands for their lives, and found a welcome in a new home, to which they brought lustre through their own achievements.

      There are only 40,000 Rohingya refugees in India. A country of 1.2 billion people can easily welcome them in our midst. Let us stop allowing the ruling party’s bigotry to undermine more than two millennia of Indian tradition. Let us be humane to the Rohingyas – and in that way, let us be true to ourselves.
