Rakhine in the west part of Myanmar that has large muslim population is actually isolated region because the huge folded mountains stretching to Assam, northeast of India divide Myanmar into east and west. Therefore, the west area is open to the west areas of India rather than exchanging with the east region. The history of native muslims that settled in Myanmar having come from India and Bangladesh is long. In other words, the west part of Myanmar during the premodern era is mixed religion area where Buddhism and Islam peacefully coexist. Despite the long history of Muslim in Myanmar, the recent conflict between Muslims and Buddhists is more severe and violent than any other times. In the middle of the conflict is the Rohingya. The Rohingya conflict is based on the claim of Buddhists that they can’t consider them as native natives of Myanmar because they are illegal immigrants who came to Myanmar during English Colony era. Therefore, for the Rohingya to acquire rights as the descendents of native Muslims, they have to prove their ancestors’ residence before 1823, but this is realistically impossible. However, this difficulty is applied to the whole Muslims in Myanmar without discrimination beyond the controversy whether the Rohingya represent the whole Muslims living in Myanmar. Regardless of whether their name has old historicity or not, it is not deniable that they exist as an ethnic group. There is no rational basis to consider the year of 1823 as the standard for dividing natives and foreigners. Although they have a strong image of Chittagong origin, it is necessary to reconsider if avoiding them is important.
Abstract
Rakhine in the west part of Myanmar that has large muslim population is actually isolated region because the huge folded mountains stretching to Assam, northeast of India divide Myanmar into east and west. Therefore, the west area is open to the west areas of India rather than exchanging with the east region. The history of native muslims that settled in Myanmar having come from India and Bangladesh is long. In other words, the west part of Myanmar during the premodern era is mixed religion area where Buddhism and Islam peacefully coexist. Despite the long history of Muslim in Myanmar, the recent conflict between Muslims and Buddhists is more severe and violent than any other times. In the middle of the conflict is the Rohingya. The Rohingya conflict is based on the claim of Buddhists that they can’t consider them as native natives of Myanmar because they are illegal immigrants who came to Myanmar during English Colony era. Therefore, for the Rohingya to acquire rights as the descendents of native Muslims, they have to prove their ancestors’ residence before 1823, but this is realistically impossible. However, this difficulty is applied to the whole Muslims in Myanmar without discrimination beyond the controversy whether the Rohingya represent the whole Muslims living in Myanmar. Regardless of whether their name has old historicity or not, it is not deniable that they exist as an ethnic group. There is no rational basis to consider the year of 1823 as the standard for dividing natives and foreigners. Although they have a strong image of Chittagong origin, it is necessary to reconsider if avoiding them is important.
