You have probably heard about the on-going human rights crisis involving the Rohingya people of Burma. The Rohingya, who number about one million, are one of the nation’s many ethnic minorities. However, unlike other ethnic minorities, the Rohingya are Muslim rather than Buddhist. They identify as Burmese, claiming to be the descendants of Arab traders and other groups who have been in the region for decades. However, the government of Myanmar claims that they are ‘illegal immigrants’ from Bangladesh, and excluded them from the 2014 census.
