Abstract [English]

Rohingya is the name of a persecuted and oppressed nation of the world.  Ethnic genocide against the Rohingya is not a new issue, the planned attack by the Burmese army on the Rohingya dates back to the 1960s.  As a result of a new level of attack on August 25, 2017, about seven to eight lakh Rohingya refugees have been forced to flee in Bangladesh. Rohingyas have also been subjected to genocide, rape, torture and attacks from a section of Buddhist society in Myanmar. The main purposes of this study are to find out the causes of Rohingya genocide and the consequent influx of refugees into Bangladesh. The present study is based on intensive analysis of secondary data. The sources of secondary data are books, journals etc. It focuses on the Rohingya citizenship issue in Myanmar, its root causes, the persecution of the Rohingya and their socio-economic conditions. Reviewing all aspects of the problem, several solutions have been mentioned in the present paper.
