Rohingya Diaspora
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?
The Rohingya is a minor Muslim ethnic group living in Myanmar for centuries. However, due to the racism and many other socio-political issues accelerated by the majority in Myanmar, they became a victim of categorizing themselves as Bengali descendants; the recent migration began in August 2017 from Myanmar to Bangladesh. These people are deprived of their ethnic rights by their own country, which includes non-enlistment with 135 other official ethnic groups, as the Myanmar government has regarded them as stateless refugees from Bangladesh. Over one million Rohingyas used to live in Myanmar, and they are the most persecuted people in the world; their current exodus has made them more vulnerable. Diaspora to Rohingyas is still a nightmare.
