Prepared by the author. taking proper education, rights to move freely, rights to work and employment, etc. In this paper, the development of an analytical framework dictates a structural approach that helps understand the complexity and depth of the Rohingya issue. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that it provides a thorough systematic review of existing research by analyzing extensive relevant local and global literature on the Rohingya crisis. The central argument of this research focuses on the issue of minority statelessness which adds to the credibility, reliability, and validity of this paper. This study has identified many reasons behind the statelessness of the Rohingya minority from the theoretical perspectives of Hilary Silver, Pierre Clavel, and Ruth Levitas. The analytical framework developed by the present study found that political Buddhism, attachment to Islamic terrorism, drug trafficking, terrorist activities, geopolitics, economic benefits of the foreign countries, etc., are some of the main culprits behind the statelessness of this community. Myanmar people do not accept Rohingyas as citizens because they always consider Rohingyas outsiders. Accordingly, their ethnic identity is gainsaid by the Myanmar government and the general people. Most of the people in Myanmar are Buddhists, and they believe that the Muslim Rohingya community will create a significant threat to them. Moreover, Rakhine is one of the most resourceful states of Myanmar, and countries like India and China are very interested in the resources of Rakhine. For this reason, the Myanmar government is trying to take control of this state by using terrorist tactics to uproot the Rohingya community. Consequently, people of this Muslim minority community have become stateless, have sought refuge in neighboring countries, and leading a life like prisoners. Frontiers in Political Science This study proposes some recommendations for resolving this unique inhuman condition. The United Nations (UN) should address the issue of genocide and provide high-level support for the Rohingya crisis. As a regional organization, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) could play a leading role in this regard. Through the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Muslim countries can play an essential role in overcoming this problem. The Bangladesh government should negotiate with the Myanmar government for the safe repatriation of Rohingyas. On the issue of repatriation, the Myanmar provincial government can actively support and promise to the Rohingya people. Finally, this study strongly recommends that various non-governmental organizations and international humanitarian organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Doctors Without Borders, Refugees International, OXFAM, etc., take appropriate steps to resolve the issue of the Rohingya predicament.
