An Insight into Rohingya: The Unwanted People

Abstract

Rohingya conflict, a term widely in use since 1950s, is a multidimensional crisis generally interpreted as a religious clash between the Buddhists and Muslims of Myanmar's western Rakhine state. The world, and especially the Muslim nation, is incensed at what is portrayed as genocide against Muslims in Myanmar. Nevertheless, the ground realities leading to this identity-centric hybrid war are a lot more complex. The issue has many aspects, including far deeper internal factors. Myanmar has undergone significant changes since the new state and region structures were created under the 2008 Constitution. The country is still going through further reforms to align its new political structures with broader governance, peace and decentralization processes. Rohingya crisis is one such national reform that Myanmar government sees critically to the future endeavours. This paper gives an insight into the real status of Rohingya crisis.
