Rohingya of Myanmar: A Distorted Version of Ethnic Crisis
Keywords:
Rohingya, Conflict, Nationalism, Ethnic Cleansing, ViolationAbstract
Rohingya issue is the most controversial discussion of the time being. Rohingya of Myanmar have been outcasted from their state [1]. They are being tortured, raped, and murdered by the people of Myanmar. This ethnic conflict has reached an intolerable barbaric level. This is an intrastate ethnic conflict between the major people of Myanmar and the minor Rohingya population of Rakhine. This kind of conflict is an outcome of nationalism [2]. Nationalism is a bond that connects people from the same heritage however, it also distinguishes one’s identity from others. This kind of feeling can create an antagonistic attitude towards minor ethnic people. Rohingyas are a victim of this antagonistic feeling. Nationalism has been manipulated to encourage the people of Myanmar to commit such an atrocious and disgraceful crime. This distorted and distasteful version of nationalism is the reason behind the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya.
