The distinctiveness of the Rohingya community has been governmentally, politically, and administratively infested by offering two solid unions in Myanmar, namely the Pro-Rohingya and the AntiRohingya. Historical analysis of the Rohingya community is similarly disputed, and the people who are affirmative towards this community declare that during the 9th century, Rohingya settlement was done in Myanmar by mixing with Bengalis, Turks, Moghuls, and Persians (Ullah, 2016). This argument focuses on the traditionally diverse demography of Rakhine (Albert and Maizland, 2020). In contrast, the Anti-Rohingya bloc declares that Rohingya is an up-to-date, selfproduced individuality created by illegal Chittagongnian Bengali immigrants entering Myanmar due to the rule of the British colony. The Government of Myanmar (GOM) applies the word “Bengali” that recommends status as migrants for labeling Rohingya. Moreover, the Frontiers in Political Science Rohingya community is not accepted as inhabitants of Myanmar; rather, people of this Muslim minority group are termed as “resident foreigners” (Ullah, 2016). Accordingly, Rohingyas are deprived of a state-individuality or identity and residency and are effectually stateless (Farzana, 2017: 2). The Government of Myanmar has been oppressing Rohingyas for hundreds of years. Due to the intentions of the Myanmar authorities, people of the Rohingya community have been excluded from the national identity of Myanmar (Ullah and Chattoraj, 2018). Bangladesh similarly ignores the people of this community, and the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) claimed that the Rohingya issue is Myanmar’s own problem. This paper aims to explore why Rohingyas are stateless or excluded systematically from some significant human, social and political rights and confront interference even in their personal life 02 frontiersin.org
