Minorities among Minorities: The Case of Hindu Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh

What is it about?

Rohingya community in Myanmar has been the subject of persecution and violent attacks. That forced them to flee the country and to take refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh several times in the history. The latest wave of conflict led displacement in August 2017, forced nearly a million Rohingya ethnic minorities to take refuge in Bangladesh. However, this time, a small number of Hindu Rohingya refugees also arrived in the refugee camps of Bangladesh. As they are in small number and considered insignificant by International community, so the attention towards them has long been ignored. This paper aims to reveal the main reasons behind their exodus, migration journey and refugee life in Bangladesh.
