The So-called Rohingyas are a Bangali Muslim minority
group who are concentrated in the northern part of Rakhine State.
This is a geographically isolated area in western Burma,
bordering Bangladesh.
The Rohingya population is mostly concentrated in two northern townships of Rakhine State:
Maungdaw, Buthidaung and .Whilst it is difficult to determine the exact number
of So-called Rohingyas living in Rakhine
State, it estimated that of the
approximately three million people living in Rakhine State,
between 500000 and 700000. Ethnically, the Rohingyas are genetically related to
the Bengalis, Indians , with early Muslim settlements in Rakhine State
dating back to 17th century A.D.
Rakhine Buddhists (also known as Arakanese or Arakan)
comprise the majority ethnic group in Rakhine State.
However, there are also other Muslim ethnic groups who live in Rakhine State. Such groups identify themselves
as Kaman(Rakhine State
is also known as Arakan
State).
Nevertheless, it is estimated that since Burmese
independence in 1948 approximately some of so-called Rohingyas ( Bangali
) have retern to their original Land ( East Pakistan
and Werst Parkistan). They mostly come from Bangladesh,
Pakistan and India. A small
number of Bangali ( So-called Rohingyas ) are also located in UAE, Thailand and
Malaysia.Also they gave new name themself name as so called Rohingya to
chack asylum in Eu countries,UAS. Canada
and Japan but they are
original from Bangladesh , India and
Parkistan.
The largest Bangali ( So called Rohingya ) exoduses
from Burma occurred in 1972
and 1991/1992 when large numbers fled to Bangladesh,
although outside of these times there has still been a steady flow of so-called
Rohingya out of Burma.
Refugees International estimated that as at March 2003 there were 100,000 So
called Rohingyas living illegally in Bangladesh too. These individuals
are in addition to the 21,902 individuals from Nothern
Rakhine State
living in the two UNHCR refugee camps in the Cox's Bazaar region of Bangladesh 3.
Of these individuals, the UNHCR notes that 58% were under the age of 18 at the
start of 2003. However, the numbers living in refugee camps in Bangladesh has
declined significantly since 1994 as thousands of so-called Rohingya have been
returned to Burma under the auspices of a UNHCR repatriation program (235,000
have been repatriated from 1994 onwards). Whilst there is some concern voiced
in the international humanitarian community as to the voluntary nature of this
repatriation, cases of forced repatriation are very difficult to substantiate.
The so-called Rohingyas have a distinct dialect and
culture. They speak a Bengali dialect which is similar to that which is spoken
in the Chittagong region of Bangladesh.
This is not mixed with words from the Urdu, Hindi and Arabic languages, they
can speak Bama and Arakanese. Religion is particularly important to the Bangali
foundermantalist so called Rohingya. There are mosques and religious schools in
every quarter and village, and traditionally, whilst the men pray in congregation,
women pray at home. It is common for elderly Bangali so- called Rohingya men to
grow beards, and for the women to wear the hijab. Most of Muslim so-called
Rohingya women were close their face by clouth order by religious Leader like
unhuman been.Most of Bangali are marry 2 to 4 wifes.
