Hindu people in Rakhine state (Arakan) hates very much being called "Hindu Rohingyas", but they identify themselves as "Benglis" who profess Hinduism. As a consequence, Muslim Benglis(in Rakhine state) hate them back so much that they killed about 100 Hindus during Kha Maung Seik massacre.--Kalle Divins (talk) 06:20, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
That's exactly the case. For them, it's an imposed identity. They would commit suicide if you call them as such. However, since they are calling themselves Hindu Bengalis, they have exposed a crack in the narrative for which they are much hated. SSH remoteserver (talk) 17:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
falsified 'early' arrival of Islam
The claim by Sayed Islam saying that, by 788 CE, locals in Arakan were being converted into Muslims clearly contradicts historian Yegar's findings which say, even in 1203, Bengal is the eastern most point of Islamic expansion, not to say further into Arakan. (please see page 23 of the book "Between Integration and Secession: The Muslim Communities of the Southern Philippines, Southern Thailand, and Western Burma/Myanmar". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalle Divins (talk • contribs) 17:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
The majority of the Rohingya people inside Rahkine State of Myanmar had arrived during the conflicts between India and Bangladesh's War of Liberation (1971) and the subsequent troubles in Assam State documented in that WIKI article on this displaced population. India had gradually fenced this 5th longest land boundary with Bangladesh, leaving only the remaining boundary with Myanmar the only way to leave the country easily in an extra-legal manner. When Myanmar border guards attempted to interdict this illegal immigration, they had been killed provoking the recent response of the Myanmar military who spares no border nationality from many human rights abuses all throughout Myanmar's borders since 1962. The Myanmar military has a penchant to galvanize public support through targeting muslims attempting to either enter or remain in the country. The Sunni Muslim Taliban destruction of the world's largest stone carved Buddhas in Afghanistan's Bactria Province did not impress the Buddhist world towards the concerns of muslims. Remember Bangladesh is a young and unstable country that has a much larger population than Myanmar, as does both India and China do. Myanmar enacts strong controls over whom a woman in their country is allowed to marry and is not like Thailand in trying to assimulate the larger nations into their own culture, for fear of losing their own culture over time. In the context of Indira Ghandi's last successful political campaign an outreach was made to gain muslim voters which eventually led to the Assam Agreement, made after her assissination (1984) that led to greater border controls. No one doubts that Bangladesh faces difficult practical choices due to sea level rise as a densely populated low-lying nation. 2601:603:4E80:AC30:B950:189A:C651:1E8F (talk) 07:38, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
