The genocide next door

The Rohingya people are Muslim Indo-Aryan peoples from the  Rakhine State, Myanmar. According to Rohingyas and some scholars, they are indigenous to Rakhine State, while other historians claim that they migrated to Myanmar from Bengal primarily during the period of British rule in Burma, and to a lesser extent, following Burmese independence in 1948 and the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. International media and human rights organizations have often described Rohingyas as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world, while origin of that term with relation to the United Nations is still unclear. As of December 2016, 1 in 7 stateless persons worldwide are Rohingya as per United Nations figures on statelessness.
