Abstract

Ethnic conflicts are harmful for the whole societies and with the passage of time if they are not solved they are making a thread for the states. This study has tried to focus on the world’s most persecuted minority Rohingya. They belong to the Muslim community of Myanmar. Oppression and persecution of Rohingya frequently occurs in Rakhine province of Myanmar by her own government. After the independence of Myanmar from colonial rule Rohingya Muslims are faced discriminated nature of different governments of Myanmar. Form the history there is so many events of violence took place. In August 2017, once again has terrible violence commenced by Myanmar’s military forces against Rohingya Muslim. From the past they are deprived from their own citizenship, rights, education, home, jobs and even food. They have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh and looking asylum in some other neighboring countries. As far as India’s concern, it came suddenly in limelight because government is planning to deport 40, 0000 Rohingyas settled in Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi and other state to Myanmar. Because of potential Security threat and considering some additional things such as Economic burden, demographic misbalance, unemployment and over populated country like India has not directly offered shelter and asylum to these persecuted ethnic people. But it is comprehensible that if India would takeany strong position in favor of Rohingyas can affect relations between two sides. India has been taking its steps very carefully. India is offering huge financial assistance and stuffs of basic necessities to Bangladesh on the Humanitarian ground and starting a “operation insanyat” and signed agreement with Bangladesh government. It has also appealed to Myanmar to take certain steps to finish the crisis.
