The Rohingya people are an ethnic group from Myanmar (Burma). The majority of them reside in the Rakhine State on Myanmar’s western coast.

Explanation:

  • Myanmar is a Buddhist-majority province, but the Rohingyans are predominantly Muslim. The United Nations views the ethnic minority as the most oppressed minority in the world.
  • This repression has its origins in the UK's occupation of Burma and the failure to acknowledge the presence of people from modern Burma ( Myanmar) for centuries. Burma became part of the United Kingdom in 1948.
  • Neither a Muslim state was not established by the state for the Rohingya nor did Burma acknowledge the the Rohingya, descendants of  Arakan state Muslims and later migrants to Burma.
  • Instead, Myanmar worked to deport the Rohingya people and ban them. In 1982, Burma passed a citizenship bill that also revoked the Rohingya people their citizenship. The Rohingya people as non-citizens are considered stateless and have no basic rights in Myanmar.
  • While Myanmar has 135 ethnic groups, Rohingya is not one of them. Burma declines to recognise the word relating to the region's Muslim minority. Rohingya was persecuted by the government in 1962, when Myanmar was a military dictatorship.
  • Rohingya is currently considered undocumented refugees from Myanmar and is not accepted lawfully. Rohingya people have no access to social care and education and mobility outside the Rakhine state is limited.
  • Myanmar also has stringent birth and marriage rules, which only require two children from Rohingya in some Rakhine state cities and that prohibit the marriage of Rohingya.
