The United Nations refers to Rohingya as one of the most persecuted ethnic minorities in the world, and this minority community from the Arakan state of Myanmar crossing by land into Bangladesh, while others take to the sea to reach Malaysia, Indonesia, India and Thailand to escape from persecution. They first arrived in the Arakan on 8th century and ruled this area from 1430 AD to 1784 AD. Rohingya Muslims, along with Burmese Muslims and Buddhists together participated in their Independence movement, participated in the national election and elected as parliament member. But all the achievements and collaboration became failed after a few years later of independence. This study aims to find out the origin and historical background of Rohingya Muslim and chronological state persecution against them. This paper concludes that Rohingya are not illegal settler and their presence in Rakhine state of before the arrival of Mongolian and Tibeti Burmans. After the independence, they are victims of numerous types of oppression, such as denied citizenship, excessive taxation, confiscation of property, mosque destruction, torture, extrajudicial killing, restrictions on freedom of movement and marriage, forced deportation, destruction of houses and villages.
Rohingya is one of the most persecuted ethnic minority groups in the world, as identified by United Nations. More than one million Rohingya refugees, over half of whom are children, live at various camps in Cox’s Bazar district in Bangladesh. This study uses a mixed methodology approach based on primary data to examine the life and livelihood challenges of Rohingya people in the refugee camps. The study's findings reveal that there is a severe scarcity of basic human needs in the Rohingya camps and a prevalence of widespread human rights violations. Among the life and livelihood challenges in the camps are- poor health services, the weak structure of shelter, scarcity of nutritious food, inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure, lack of education facilities after secondary school, gender-based violence, insecurity, congestion and lack of privacy, limited freedom of movement, and high risk of landslide. The study's findings may guide governments and NGOs operating in Rohingya camps to ensure the community's basic needs and human rights.
Turkey and Bangladesh are two Muslim countries who have shared a long history of friendship. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contribution of two famous Bangladeshi poets Ismail Hossain Siraj and Kazi Nazrul Islam during the Turkish War of Independence. By content analysis of works of Siraji and Nazrul and evaluating rare documents from Turkish archives, we have highlighted in this study the contributions of these two poets of Bangladesh during the Turkish War of Independence. The study found that Ismail Hossain Siraj played an important role as the only member of the medical delegation of Indian Muslims sent to the Balkan Wars. He sent news from the battlefield to the newspapers of Bangladesh. Later, during the Turkish War of Independence, Siraji played a crucial role in the Khilafat Committee of Bengal. Kazi Nazrul, his first newspaper in the Nabajog, regularly covered the battlefields of Turkey. Nazrul wrote Ranveri poem in support of the Turkish War of Independence. Similarly, Kamal Pasha poem was written by Nazrul on the conquest of Turkey. Recognizing the contribution of two Bangladeshi poets in the Turkish War of Independence, the study seeks to foster strengthen the historical foundation of Turkish-Bangladesh relations.
