Should India accept Rohingya Refugees

Rohingya Muslims, according to some scholars, are indigenous ethnic tribe of Northern Rakhine (Arkan) area of Myanmar. Others have mentioned them to be the migrants from Bengal to Burma during british rule in India. They have turned into refugees because of the persecution, discrimination, dehumanization from other residents of the area, from many decades. The immediate cause is the violence and burning down of villages by the Myanmar army to get rid of these people from the region.

Many refugees are moving to the neighbouring countries just with the expectations of survival and protection against the harassment. Bangladesh is the nearest and accepting most of the refugees and India is thinking to deport the refugees accepted before to the same dreadful place where they don't have guarantee of their life. So only the question arises that India should accept Rohingyas or not.

Many claim that some of these Rohingyas are being used as tools of terrorism by terrorists. They are being mobilized to indulge in hawala transactions and fund mobilization. They are easily radicalised and helping radicalization that may increase the communalism which is already prevalent in Indian society today. Just a spark is enough to begin big communal, religion based fights. This can be a threat to the national security of India. Another reason can be economic like it is creating pressure on the resources where already India has to look after its own large population, poverty, etc. A competition between refugees and the local people for basic needs can increase the social tensions. India's foremost duty is to protect the rights of her own citizens. At international level, India need to check out China's increasing interest in the region, which makes her support Myanmar government that is antagonistic on issue to helping Rohingyas. Also India isn't the signatory of Convention relating to status of Refugees, 1951 so she doesn't need to abide by its conditions.
