Rohingya
The Rohingyas are not an indigenous ethnic group of Myanmar (Burma). There has never been such an ethnic group throughout the history of Arakan or Burma. The people called Rohingyas are direct descendents of immigrants from the Chittagong District of East Bengal (present day Bangladesh). The British colonial officials called them Chittagonians in their administrative records.
They have migrated to Arakan after it was occupied by the British. They came to work as seasonal agricultural workers and many of them have been illegally living in the Buthidaung and Maungdaw area since then. They had killed local Arakanese people and occupied the land of Arakanese people, robbed Arakanese village, raped Arakanese women, destroyed and burnt Buddhist monasteries and villages in Buthidaung, Maungdaw and adjacent areas. Arakanese and other Arakanese tribes such as Mro, Thak (Chakma), Daingmnak, etc., who are particularly inhabited in the remote area bordering Bangladesh, are mostly suffered the atrocities committed by the illegal Bengali Muslims. Thousands of people had been killed and hundreds of thousands of other people had been forced to flee vacating their own land and had to move to the northern part of Arakan. There were more than two hundred Arakanese villages in Buthidaung and Maungdaw areas before the II WW, but only about sixty Arakanese villages were left after the war (Background of Rohingya Problem by Kyaw Zan Thar, MA). There were no Amnesty International and other international Medias available to voice a word about their sufferings at that time.
- The Rohingya Muslims are twisting the history. With the help of Bangladeshi intelligence and middle eastern finance, they formed an armed group called ARNO (Arakan Rohingya National Organisation) to "liberate" Rakhaing state from Myanmar and establish an Islamic state.
- An intelligence report said that the volunteers, instead of fighting the Japanese, destroying the Buddhist monasteries and pagodas, massacred thousands of innocent Arakanese civilians. It also expressed the grave concern among the authoritiesof British administration in exile about the holocaust of Arakanese community in the western fringe of Burma by those Chittagonians [British Library:IOR : B/8/9].
- Arakan was and is not a Muslim state. All Arakanese (Rakhaings) were and are devout Buddhists. The history of the Holy Maha Muni Image was and is a proof. Maha Muni Image, a colossal image cast in bronze and inlaid with gold, became the envy of almost all Burmese kings. Whenever they expanded their empire, they tried to rob this holy image. Starting from Anawratha (11th Century AD) to Bodaw U Waing (18th Century AD), most Burmese kings tried to snatch this statue.
- The political target of the Muslim fundamentalists from Arakan has been aimed at creation of a new ethnic by the name of so-called "Rohingyas" in Arakan first end then Islamization over Arakan. Today the massive influx of Muslim refugees into Bangladesh is the out come of the exploitation and creation of the Muslim fundamentalists on silent immigration of the jobless and landless Muslim people of Arakan long years ago , i.e. since back to 1987.
- During the last part of 1850, a large number of Bengali Muslims came to Butheedaung through Maungdaw in various groups. The local Rakhaings had to watch their movements by turns for the security of their lives and properties. Such movements were known to be like marching of Bengali soldiers, as told by old people from Maungdaw and Butheedaung.
- Bangladeshi illegal immigrants to its neighboring countries cause great alarm in India and Burma. The illegal immigrants’ issues have rocked Indian Parliament many times and caused strong protests from students, civil societies and many intellectuals. The illegal immigrants pose great danger to the Arakanese people in western Burma, and the large influx of immigrants without any check could endanger Arakanese or cause minority in their own land. Some humanitarian activists are supporting these illegal immigrants without taking account of venerable people whose populations are very small.
