The official evidence of the Rohingya ethnic ID and citizenship which the President U Thein Sein Government should look before blindly bluffing the world

The official evidence of the Rohingya ethnic ID and citizenship which the Burmese ethno- and genocidists don’t want you to see

Wednesday, August 01, 2012 

Since the first wave of Rohingya genocide in Feb 1978 which expelled nearly 200,000 refugees from all across Western Burma in to the neighboring newly independent Bangladesh, Burma’s military regimes have committed themselves to erasing that the Rohingya were a constitutive ethnic nationality group (or Tai-yin-thar), who ‘are found on both sides of East Bengal (or now Bangladesh) and Burma. Their transboundaries community is not unlike the Shan or Tai of Burma and Northern Siam, the Jeng-hpaw of Northern Burma and Southern China, the Mons of southern Burma and Thailand, the Karens of Eastern Burma and Thailand. Myanmar authorities and scholars, as well as deeply ignorant Myanmar public have denied that these “Tai-yin-thar ever existed in Burma while insisting them to be nothing but ‘illegal migrants’ from Bangladesh – all despite available mountains of evidence to the contrary. On its part, the international media simply repeats Myanmar’s official line – or lie – that the Rohingyas are state-less people, who have never been Tai-yin-thar or a constitutive ethnic group of Burma.
