Objective of Paper- This work is intended to those who are kindly in belief on Bengalis to
be an ethnic minority living in long historical background in Myanamar to in short investigate
whether or not Bengalis are the Rohingyas living in Myanmar many thousand years ago and
they are temporal immigrants from Chittagong.
Abstract
In blind, some of powerful countries and United Nations try to force the
Myanmar government to grant the Bangalis as the Rohingya ethnic group in Myanmar,
taking a look at the terrible population of Bangalis in Rakhine State. It is a baseless effort
and likely a threat to the powerless and such an approach to issue of Bengalis in Myanmar
by the UN also is unfair. It is undeniable that as a piece of social context, every society
dealing with distinct people with multi-culture from different countries is an impact of
globalization not rejected. It is also acceptable that the Bengalis originally deriving from the
neighboring country can live the life of citizenship in any of rich and poor countries but it is
hard to approve that the immigrants due to the increased population should be granted as the
ethnic group living together long time on ward from the initiative of the country. The UN
regarded as the judge of Human right and Peace is in need to review the background of
Bengalis in historical way. In the fact that the History of Bengali immigrants is taken
account, it is not proper to neglect the long history of Native people. That is why, important
to settle down the case of Bengalis in Rahine Stake, hosting in the world, the judge needs to
know how the Bengalis arrived to Rakhine State, what are their native land as original and
who the original natives have existed in ancient time. To be able to perceive the right
approaches to issue of Bengalis in Mynamar and that of wrong, I will take out a small piece
of historical evidence about Bengali immigrants and Rakhine natives. There are varieties of
scholar researches on Bengalis case in Rakhine. The scholars’ researches done are very
broad and it is unable to go through within a few minute. This work is by purpose focused on
everyone to understand the brief history of Bengalis and root cause of recent violence
occurring in Rakhine State and this work will introduce to the readers the main idea to
consider of whether or not Bengalis so called by entire Myanmar people should be proved of
Rohingya ethnics in Rakhine State in Myanmar.

Introduction
According to historical background of Bengalis and the Native Rakhines, it is
seen that as the name so called Rohingyas is not an original name of Bengalis so are they not
included in ethnic minority groups having already been in Mynamar since many years ago as
estimated by the Bengali educators. Bengalis are illegal immigrants mostly from Chittagong
District of Bangladesh and Rohingya was merely a name created by a small group of Bengali
educators who too moved from Chittagong to Rakhine State round about 1949s ( pp-49).
Mr.R.B Smart( 1917, pp-80-101) did even not use the name, Rhingya in his book, ―Burma
Gazetteer, Akyab District, Volume A‖ published in 1917 but he presented the Bengalis by
name of Mahomendans, not Rohingya. He recorded ―Mahomedans, who in 1872 numbered
58255, had by the year 1911 risen to 178647. Many are men who came down for the
working reason only from Chittagong and included in census returns but are not properly
speaking, the inhabitant of country‖. In reign of King Min Khamunm, Son of King Min
Rajagri,(1612-22 AD), the traders from Iraq and Bangladesh had came and had trading in
Rakhine kingdom ( pp-199). In the beginning years 0f 1826 of the British colonial domains to
Rakhine State, the British government took the Bengalis from Chittagong for working in
firming in Rakhine State and they mostly lived in Mayu region. However, they also did not
receive the name of Rohingya but Bengalians and they also preferred the name of
Chittagonians (pp-45-46). In 1978, while checking in those with no citizen card by way of the
Nagar Min military operation, many of Bengalis ran into the Bengladesh. Among the
returners to Bangladesh, about 18000 Bengalis were accepted by the Myanmar government
and settled in Muangdaw and Bhuthidaung Township of Rakhine State. For that project, the
Government spent the estimate amount of 1513890 Kyats. This evidence illustrated that there
had been no Rohingya ethnic living for many thousand years in Rakhine State but it is
possible to be acceptable that Bengalis’ population arises year by year more and more. When
the Bengalis population explores a big amount of numbers, they must need the extensive land
for them so they planned since many couple of years to insist on the Government to grant
first them as Rohingyas ethnic group . Such my thinking is proved by the terrorism of
Bengalis terrorists in 8th
Jine, 2012 in Maungdaw and Bhithidaung Township. It scattered to
other township. The Bengalis terrorists clashed initially the houses of the natives, killed the
natives and took properties of them. Anyhow, the name of Rohingya has never there been in
the list of ethnic groups of Myanmar according to historical landscape. Some scholars may
argue that it is impossible to avoid the Bengalis history they have, written by the Bengali
3
scholars; it is yes but their history is a new product of deceitful document created after 1948s.
The spoke-man of Myanmar government also officially argued in his press conference that
there is not Rohingya ethnic in Myanmar and they could not be approval of.
How it be the Rohingyas
The news of sectarian violence in western Burma, Rakhine State hosts all over the
world and is interested. There was a big contrast about the right press of events in Rakhine
between the local media and foreign media. The Bengalis first burnt the house to house of
and village to village of Buddhists in Maungdaw township but the local news agency had the
late news of real events broadcasted but to let the world know the fact of news was depended
on sole one news agency, ―Eleven Media Group‖ while the Bengalis broadcasting the world
that they were beaten by the Myanmar government and Rakhine Buddhists with reason why
they are distinct religionists and Rohingyas. Therefore, the world convinced the first news
initially clouded in the internet, which was that the Rohingyas are killed by the Buddhists in
Rakhine State. During the violence time, while the Buddhists are collecting the right news on
riot in Rakhine to urge the wrong news transmitted by the Bengalis, the Bengalis have
already submitted the fabricant report to the UN, cheating to the world that they are killed
and their houses are burnt down by the Myanmar Government and Buddhists; they are being
persecuted for many years. However, it is known that according to 7 Day News reporter,
there was still loss of about five hundred people of the Buddhist locals in terrorism in
Maungdaw township; it is proved by the report of 32 people of Buddhists killed by Bengalis
and 411 people of Buddhists dead in burning houses. (http://www.facebook.com/mg.cekka).
However, the real news were dissolved under the deceitful news of Bengalis and some of
foreign news agencies and a biased person such as – Benedict Roger attempts to forbid the
fact about Bengalis Rakhine riot. Benedict Roger’s writing is seen in favor of Bengalis by his
article ―A Friend’ appeal to Burma‖. He makes the readers deluded, starting his article with
opening speech “Some people may call me biased, and to that charge I plead guilty. But I
am biased not in favour of one community over another, in favour of one race or religion
over another, in favour of one particular political party over another. Instead, I am biased
in favour of the universal values of human rights, including religious freedom‖. He speaks
a lot as to how the human right is for every community or society sort, how the Bengalis so
called Rohingyas are persecuted by the Maynmar Government for many years and why the
4
Myanmar Government in conclusion of his article should grant the Bengalis as the ethnic
minority of Myanmar with so many comments (http: //www.mizzima.com /edop/comm.entary
/7349-a-friends-appeal-to-burma .ht ml). He neglects the more important point that how the
Bengalis first attacked the natives, how their activities threaten the family and personal
security, how intolerant to them as for Government as well as the locals and how crucial they
are to the locals. He writes his article in hear-saying, not in documentary. Finally, it is seen in
his article that he reaches his conclusion that the Bengalis are upright and innocent persons
persecuted by the locals and the government but he did not think the point that only Bengalis
are not the Human but also the Rakhine People. As a result of his conclusion, it is impossible
to say that he is not a biased person to Bengalis so called Rohingya because he never contains
any of real fact on Rakhine natives who were in reality being killed by the Bengali Terrorists.
However, due to spreading the cheating news on the riot in Rakhine State of Myanmar to the
world by the components of Bengali terrorists, the world also with no special quire of the real
events, proved their betraying news which mostly demonstrates the Bengalis so called
Rohingyas were made genocide by the Rakhine Buddhists and the Myanmar army. In reality,
the brutal murders creating genocides to the entire of Rakhine People were only the Bengali
immigrant terrorists. That fact is clear if we read regular information pressed in the local
news and international news last updated. Whatever we say, it is sense of our soul that if any
kind of violence occurs, the massive amount of mastery such as- loss of lives, shelters, wealth
of innocents as well as loss of the budgets of government, is possessed by the citizens. It
should be looked for the better way to lead to the peace in any of socialization in the global if
we want to live the rest of our lives in the harmony world.
The Situation of Violent areas in Rakhine State
If we think the root causes of why the huge terrorism of terrorists came out in
Rakhine, there are, we see, two kinds of bases- 1) the aggressive and incautious attacks of
Bengalis in Maungdaw and the Rakhine avengers in Taunggoke, and 2) the negligence of
Thein Sein government because if the authority sent the security force in time to the places
where the consequence violence might result- especially in the places where there is a bigger
amount of Bengalis then Buddhists immediately after the violence had occurred in
Taunggoke in 3rd
of July, 2012. Typically, because of the poor preparation for protection to
the local Rakhine people less population in Maungdaw in Rakhine State and because of being
lack of effective and constructive detains of government, the terrorism became bigger and
5
scattered to other towns – Sittwe, Yathedaung and any other cities. According to report, the
school aged Buddhist girl, Ma Thidar Htway, was raped and killed cutting her head by the
three Bengali young men and they took the jewels ornamented in her in May 29th
, 2012. As
soon as the case happened, the local authority could not promise the local Buddhist people to
sentence the murders. Therefore, the Buddhists got anger to the Muslim because they think
the local authority took bribe from murders and neglected the case. It usually happens that the
authority neglects the same case, taking bribe from defense people. The local Buddhist
people demonstrated in front of the police station to give them the murders but the local
authority said ―Everything has ceased and so appeal to them without much intention‖. In as a
result July 2nd
, the people received the secret message from the Buddhist people in Thandway
town that the eight of Muslim leaders will go to Yangon from Thandway for bribing to the
central court in July 3rd
so they in July 3rd
, 2012, stop the public bus, Romathissa, driven from
Thandway but the driver did not stop. Then, the Buddhists more suspected of that there must
be the Bengalis so they passed the bus by motorcycle and blocked the road and checked the
bus. They saw the eight of Muslim as informed to them before. The Buddhists people
asserted the eight of Muslim not to go to Yangon but they replied to them, ―They can
overcome everything if they have money‖. Such a kind of speech felt the Buddhists so angry.
Therefore, the mobs of Buddhists killed not only eight Muslims but also two of a car owner
and a driver. However, there identified in the some presses, only eight Muslims were killed
by Buddhists in Taunggoke but they omitted the news of two Buddhist killed as well. The
government did not think there could be accident violence in Maungdaw but some of Rahine
Buddhists in social wed site such as –www.thearakanesemeetingpoint.com predicted there
will be the huge riot between Rahine and Muslim in Rakhine just as in 2001. As they
predicted, the Bengalis so called Rohingya began to attack to the innocent Rahine Buddhist
people in June 8th
, 2012. At same day night, the government announced that the condition in
Maungdaw, the west of Rakhine State, already became stable and the government planned to
control the region for peace but till the same night, the Bengalis so called Rohingya continued
to burn the villages of Buddhists, kill the innocent Buddhist people and steal the properties
from the empty house due to the running away of the Buddhist people to avoid being killed
by the Bengalis. After the condition was the worse, the government imposed the martial law
in Maungdaw and sent to the security force to there, not enough to the whole township. The
security force was but standing looking at the terrorists and did not arrest immediately the
crimes. Therefore, the Bengalis understood the security force did not dare to shoot or arrest to
them so they broadened their terrorism activities to the villages and continued to the violence
6
to the Sittwe in June 10th
, 2012. As we saw the activities of security force and government
soldiers, they did not try to cease the riot but stood looking at the violence instead of arresting
by law the crimes. Their activities seemed purposely creating themselves the violence.
However, the Bengali leaders did not think the point of whether the Myanmar government
made the Rakhine Buddhists and Bengalis quarrel each other. In 2001, the Bengalis and
Rakhine living in Sittwe fought to each other but the arm force did not solve the problem.
They set the fighters free about one and half day. After the loss of lives of Bengalis and
Rakhne, the next day the government imposed the martial law and arrested the innocents who
walked to job and market. It is the procedure of government frequently used to break the
unity of Bengalis and Rakhine.
However, the riot between Rakhine and Bengalis starting in June 8th
,2012 led to
huge terrorism. The brutal attack of Bengalis to innocent Buddhist people was so ugly in
sight of not only the Rakhine Buddhists but also the entire people of Myanamr except
Bengalis. Their attack strategy was so crucial. A witness who kept away from violence said
on phone in June 19th
, 2012 that in some villages from Maungdaw township, the old people
and children who cannot run away were burnt and dead; some of old Buddhist people and
children were sized and thrown into the fire set on by the Bengalis. According to interview
with a little girl named ―Lae Lae Than‖ from a village of Maungdaw township, she said, ―her
father was killed by the Bengalis and mother was seriously wounded to be taken to a hospital
of Yangon‖ and another lady teacher said in interview said that the Bengalis came and
surrounded her village, burnt and killed so she with some of her friends ran away and hided
in mountain but she saw the whole village fired‖. Therefore, the reporter of Eleven Media
Group confirmed that there were about 500 Buddhist people in Maungdaw and its township
lost in violence but the government officially announced that there are 78 people only dead
and 2 security police and 3158 homes were totally destroyed in Rakhine Violence
(http://www.rfa.org/burmese/news/rakhine-riot-myanmar-us-06262012183154.html). It could
be approved because several villages were set fire on and 10 Buddhist people in Kudaung
village and 5 Byinephyu village were killed. The government did not collect the family
catalogue that was dead in Maungdaw immediately and Sittwe but less counted. Why? Some
said the government did not enlarge the violence; if so, they in time need to control the
crimes by being arrested. Why did not do it?
7
By a mere look at the increased population, it is not a fair proof to
conclude that the Bengalis so called Rohingyas are a single group evolving in Myanmar
nationality group who had already been with original people since many years ago. For
Buddhists, it is a custom to build their family status in monogamy way but opposed to them,
the Muslim religionists practice the polygamy way in their family style. The polygamy social
system is the way to explore the big amounts of population within a few decades. For
example, Bangladesh population rate is 75 millions in its independent year- 1971 but in 2009
the Bangladesh population rate increased 150 million, more than doubled. This evidence
identifies that the Muslim religionists’ population can quickly upraises within a few decade.
They explores the population in polygamy way. Their population rate in Rakhine terribly
became high within a few decades after the British left from Myanmar.
A look at the generation of Bengalis in Rakhine
As mentioned in introduction, in the time of Men Rajagri in 1612-22 AD, the
Bengali traders had visited to Rakhine for their business but there was no any proof to
proclaim that they even lived their whole lives in Rahine and according to Rakhine Historical
record, the King Men Sawmon had also allowed the Bengalis to live in the outside area of
Mrauk U. In 1660s, Mongolian arrowed armed force had lived in region of Rambray. It may
be said that it is the first entering of Bengalis to Rakhine State. The Maung Thein recorded in
his book ― Indo Burma Conflict‖ that British occupied the Burma with help of Ka La soldiers
and they let the India readers and Bengalis traders to invest and live in Burma. In 1830s, the
British entered the India traders from Madrid to Burma to render the work of firming because
English had no enough funds for haring the Myanmar workers. The same thing was seen in
Historical record of Rakhine. It proved the British must bring the Bengalis to work for land in
Rakhine. The Historian ― Charney‖ recorded, ― Mostly from 1879 onwards, the Bengalis’
entering into Rakhne was increased and the Bengalis, the descendents from claves
families, resided in Kyauktaw and Mrauk U Township; the road was crowded with
newcomer Bengaliss and they were seen in many of places‖(10). The British brought the
Bengali workers from Bangladesh for sloughing. According to making list of family units by
the government, in 1871, there is about 58255 Bengalis population, in 1901 there about
178647 increased but they were ranked as the Indian descendents by authority in 1921.
In 1942, the British made a group of Benglalis in Maungdaw township as a
volunteer corps to fight back the Japanese army. However in reality the Bengali volunteer
8
corps about 17000 with arms led by Mohamak, an educator from Chittagong, instead of
fighting the Japanese, killed the Rakhine People and destroyed the Rakhine people’s villages.
The Akyabs commissioner, Smart, reported to the concerns that the Bengalis’ activities
embarrassed the force and they killed many of Rakhine local peoples (according to record,
there were over 200 village totally vanished)(11). When the British planned to give the
independence to the Burma, the Bengalis attempted to join with the Pakistan. They in 1946
sent the representatives of Islam organization ―Jami-atul Ulema-e Islam‖ to Krachi and
discussed with the leaders of British to join the Bhuthidawng and Maungdaw with Pakistan to
make self-control (12). However, the government rejected the proposal. Although there were
about over 200 Rakhine villages in Maungdaw, after the World War II, there were only six
village left, destroyed by Benglis force. 1946, the Islam Liberation Organization was founded
by a Bengali named Zaffer Kawal who came from Chittagong and in 1948 it was changed to
a party of ― Mujahid‖. Since 2 years advance, the Mujahid rebelled and in June 9th
,1948, the
―Mujahid Organization‖ proposing the following report, insisted on the Administration of
Maungdaw township.
1. The west area of Naff River and east part of it must be demarcated as the land of
Muslim.
2. The Muslim in Myanmar must be ranked as the Myanmar ethic group.
3. The Party of Mujahid must be recognized as a official political party.
4. The Auradu landuage must be specified as the official language of Muslim in Rakhine
and in the schools, it is used as a medium language.
5. The victims in Kyauktaw and Mrauk U must be placed in their original land by the
government.
6. The Muslim detainees must be all released.
7. The members of Mujahid must be given the general amnesty (13).
Here an important weak point of Bengalis I would like to point out is that till 1947, there was
nobody of Bengalis used the name of Rohingyas referring to them but Chittagonians, the
immigrants form Chiitagong(San Tha Aung, pp-8, 62/3/4). In the village of Alaythankyaw,
celebrating the Arakan Muslim Conferrence, they asserted the Government to constitute the
north of Rakhine as a the separate free land of Muslim but there was also no Name of
Rohingya they used- 25; why appear now? The representative, Mr. Abdul Gaffar, of
Bhuthidaung first used the name of Rohingya in his article ― the student muslims‖ in the
Gadian Press in Newdehli. And the Bengalis representatives from Bhuthidaung and
9
Maungdaw proposed in assemble to give the land of Rohngyas (14). According to Act of
Citizenship in 1984, the Muslims who entered into Myanmar before 1824 were specified as
Citizens but ranted as Bengalis, not Rohingyas (15). From the time onward when Thailand
Government arrested the boat with Bengalis illegally entering into the Thai territory in 2009,
the name of Rohingya was more focused by the world- especially by the UN. They, then,
falsely confessed the Thai authority that they are Rohingya coming from Myanmar. In fact,
they at that time were coming from Bangladesh to Thailand ( March 5,2009).
Some of powerful countries including UN, want the Myanmar to grant the
Rohingya as an ethnic group of Myanmar. However, the name of Rohingya that had never
used referring to one of Myanmar native nationality group and that had not registered to
Myanmar government before is far to be a legal name but a fraudulent name only. That is
why, Dr. Aye Kyaw (July 17th
, 2007) described in his report ― Rohingya and Rakhaing‖ thus
― later 1824, Indian, Bengalis, Chinese and Jews entered into Myanmar for trading but
they are not natives and original ethnic people. Rohingya is a name that appeared in
1948 later after independence of Burma from British and a new created name‖. Michael
W Charney also said that the merchants from Calcutta, Duches and Europeans entered into
Arakan and traded for exchange of gold and the things made of gold in early 17 century and
Bengalis were sold by Duches to Arakan as slves for working in field. It is said in Burma
Gazetteer that in reign of Arakan kings, after conquest to Bangladesh, the Bengalis were
brought to Arakan as slaves. It is possible that there was a world culture that a country
conquers to another country, they used to take the citizens of another country for slaves.
However, the locals called the Bengalis as Chittagonians, not Rohingya. And according to
Rakhine History, it is said after conquest to Rakhine kingdom with the aid of Sultan, the king
Min Saw Mon allowed the Muslims to live in the areas outside the Mrauk U. In 1941, the
authority collected the family units which were used to be made list every ten years. The
authority yet marked the name of Bengalis as Chittagonians in blank of nationality, not
Rohingya and any other referred name to them. That means there was no name of Rohingyas
in Rakhine State up to 1941 and nobody used it in office and society. At that time, there were
90000 populations of Bengalis in of Bhuthidaung but it was estimated that it may be more
than that in Maungdaw regoin. Actually, it is said that a Bengali man named Abukhite said to
U San Tha Aung that the name of Rohingya started to use when the British asked the
Mujahid and his people with full arms for the help. The name of Rohingya was a new name
given by the British Government, not original if so. Dr. Aye Chan described in his paper ―
10
who are Rohingya?‖ that the name of Rohingya is a new name which appeared in 1950 in
province of Maungdaw township regarding to the struggle of Bengali educators descendent
from Chittagong, not historical evidence for name of Rohingya. Most of Bengalis are illegal
immigrants who were allowed by the British to enter into Rahine for work when in reign of
British. Their speaking language is also same with Bengali language which is spoken by the
Chittagonians who live therein. Till that time, there had not been a name of Rohingya used by
anyone but Bengalis. In Myanmar, there are eight ethnic minority groups according to native
land- Kaya, Kayin, Kakhin, Chin, Mon, Rakhine, Barma and Shan, not any other majority
ethnic group registered in Government.
Dr. Aye Chan identifies the classification of Bengalis so called Rohingya living in
Rakhine State into four kinds – 1) Chittagonians living in province of Mayu, 2) the offsprings
of Bengalis born from the Muslim slave family round about 17 century and 3) Kaman
Muslim born from the professionals of soldiers and 4) the Muslim coming with the Myanmar
soldiers in 1784 in which the Burmese conquered the Arakan Kingdom ( Dr.Aye Chan- pp-
1). Therefore, the majority of Myanmar approves that there is not any ethnic so called
Rohingya in Myanmar not only at present but also before time. However, because of that
fabrication of some news agencies based in foreign countries to become the name of
Rohingya more popular mist powerful countries and of the confirmation of UN to be a
Rohingya ethnic without any of investigation in favor to Bengalis as well as the world of
Iraq, the issue of Bengalis so called Rohingya is an important portion to be taken account
rather than that of democracy and it becomes a highline. The Bengalis are not satisfied with
that they can live in Myanmar as a citizen so they tried to occupy the Myanmar.
Conclusion
With above small historical evidence, it is clear that the name of Rohingya is not
an original name of Bengalis and so are not natives to be granted as one of ethnic group.
However, we could not understand the Bengalis that they themselves target only at the
Rakhine, not other country to gain the own land. They should understand that they can live as
a citizen of Myanmar in Rakhine State as allowed by Government as before. The Bengalis
after named Rohingya are paying intention to fight to the world, not only Rakhine of
11
Myanmar but also any other country such as USA. It is because they are opponent
religionists to the Islamists.
At present time, the Rohingyas are creating the sectarian violence in Rahine
State. Firstly they attacked the native people, killed them, burn the Rakhine Villages and take
the property of Rahine People. And, they put on the cloud that they were seemed to be
attacked by the Rakhine People together with government soldiers but no news agency could
rewrite the right news versus scattering the wrong news. It was because some of Burmese
politicians such as Min Ko Nine and Mya Aye including Aung Sun Su Kyi first giving the
speech to the public appealing to the Bengalis as to fact that some Rakhine mobs killed the 8
Bengalis seemed misunderstanding to the world. First in 29th
May, 2012, however it was a
resultant event of Ma Thi Dar Htway killed by Bengalis’ rebels. The great riots began with
Bengalis sectarian violence. Under their fighting, the innocence people were death in number
of 443 who are all Arakanese but they government did not officially announce it because they
are concerned about more exploration of riot. As to that matter, the 88 generation students’
leader (KO Ko Gyi), the president of national assembly (Dr. Aye Maung) and the Chief of
Myanmar Police (U Khin Yee), NLD Party, Daw Aung San Su Kyi (http:// burmese. dvb.no/
arch ives/27036) and any of other private association as well as majority of Myanmar
officially denied that the Bengalis are not Myanmar ethnic nationality living for long time in
Myanmar but immigrants from Bangladesh.
However, whether or not the action of Bengalis is fair and so is that of UN who along
the violence speaks standing by the Bengali: it is no complete trace so it is still needed to
search more. Therefore, this work encourages the readers to study further evidence of
whether or not the Myanmar government should grant the Bengalis as the ethnic minority of
Myanmar.
