THE PLIGHT ON THE ROHINGYA By Nurul Islam (U.K)

The Rohingya are one of the most forgotten, persecuted, voiceless, and underrepresented peoples on earth. Their population is estimated to be more than 3 millions. Of them about 1.5 millions are in diasporas particularly in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Malaysia, Thailand etc. They are still willing to return to their ancestral homeland of Arakan in Burma. Their settlement in Arakan dates back to latter part of 7th century A.D.
