1. Introduction
In their own nation, the Rohingyas of Rakhine state is denied citizenship. Furthermore, the majority of those forced to flee the country have gone to Bangladesh. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and most recently in 2017, they were compelled to flee their own nation. Recently, in an episode, Rohingyas were removed from Rakhine State during a significant military operation by the Tatmadaw. With the recent inflow in 2017, Bangladesh has become the shelter for around 1.6 million Rohingyas. The UN determined that Tatmadaw's 2017 military campaign was only intended to carry out "ethnic cleansing," characterising the assault as a "textbook example" of such activity.
The Rohingya people have a centuries-old origin story. The historical process of many invasions and counter invasions of the kingdom and political entities in and around the present- day countries of Myanmar, Bangladesh, and the Indian subcontinent led to the development of the ethnic identity of the Rohingya. Despite residing in the state of Rakhine. The term "Rohingyas" has a lengthy history; it dates back to the 1950s. Even though the Rohingya people have been suffering for a long time, the word did not originate until the 1950s. This has come to represent their identity in the modern day.2
