Prabhash K Dutta | InToday OnLine | New Delhi | Aug 10, 2017:: Responding to a question in Parliament on Wednesday (August 9), Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said that the government was firm on deporting about 40,000 Rohingya Muslims from the country.
As per government estimates, Rohingya’s population has increased four times in the country in the last two years. In 2015, their population was estimated to have been 10,500, as per Kiren Rijiju reply in the Lok Sabha given two years ago.
In a written response, the Home Ministry informed the Rajya Sabha that the central government has directed the concerned state governments to set up task force at district levels to identify and deport the illegally staying foreign nationals.
WHO ARE ROHINGYAS?
Rohingyas are ethnic Muslims of Myanmar living in Rakhine province in the Arakan region. Following clashes between dominant Buddhist communities in Myanmar, a large number of the Rohingya Muslims were forced to leave their country beginning 2012.
The government of Myanmar does not recognize Rohingya Muslims as citizens. They are effectively stateless people since 1982 when Myanmar passed a new citizenship law. Officially, Myanmar government refused to recognize the Rohingya as an ethnic group.
In 2015, Myanmar stated that as terminology, Rohingya had “never been included among over 100 national races of Myanmar.” It says that Rohingya Muslims are mainly Bengali’s settling in the country illegally after Myanmar’s independence in 1948 and in the aftermath of 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
On the other hand, there are some references saying that Rohingyas had settled in the Arakan region as early as 15th century. Rohingya Muslims claim that they are native of the Arakan region. The term Rohingya is said to have its origin in word Rakhanga or Roshanga. Arakan’s another local name is Rohanga.
In 1799, some European writers identified Rohigya Muslims as Rooinga living in the Arakan region as different from neighboring Hindus. But, the government of Myanmar does not agree with the claims of the Rohingyas.
MIGRATION TO INDIA
Following the clashes and absence of protection from the government, the Rohingya Muslims started to flee the country in boats. Their boats kept floating in the Bay of Bengal and along the Strait of Malacca prompting journalists to give them the name of Boat People.
India being the largest neighbor of Myanmar, Rohingyas flocked to India with the hope of better livelihood and shelter as refugee. But, India does not have any specific refugee plan. So, the Rohingya Muslims, who could enter the country, started looking for jobs and settled wherever they got a source of income.
As of now, the Rohingya Muslims are, according to the Home Ministry, mostly settled in Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andra Pradesh and Manipur. The largest number of Rohingyas is in Jammu and Kashmir government.
According to the Jammu and Kashmir government’s estimate, there are around 5,700 Rohingya Muslims in the state. However, the central government says that their number could be around 10,000-11,000 if actual headcount is carried out.Responding to a question in Parliament yesterday, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said that the government was firm on deporting about 40,000 Rohingya Muslims from the country.
As per government estimates, Rohingya’s population has increased four times in the country in the last two years. In 2015, their population was estimated to have been 10,500, as per Kiren Rijiju reply in the Lok Sabha given two years ago.

REFUGEES IN INDIA
The government of India has not set up any refugee camps for the Rohangiyas living in India. Interestingly, according to the central government, there are no refugee camps for Bangladeshi refugees either. But, there are 107 camps in Tamil Nadu and one in Odisha for Sri Lanka refugees.
As for the Tibetan refugees, the government has, in principle, given them political asylum but they are staying in settlements on their own in the country.
Now, that the government has made it clear that it would work for deportation of Rohingya Muslims, concerns are being raised about their safety.
Amnesty International India, in a statement issued yesterday said, “Forcing Rohingya asylum-seekers and refugees back to Myanmar would violate the international principle of non-refoulement – which is recognized in customary international law and is binding on India – that forbids states from forcibly returning people to a country where they would be at real risk of serious human rights violations.”Responding to a question in Parliament yesterday, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said that the government was firm on deporting about 40,000 Rohingya Muslims from the country.

Krishna N. Das | Reuters | New Delhi | Aug 11, 2017:: India is in talks with Bangladesh and Myanmar about its plan to deport around 40,000 Rohingya Muslims it says are living in the country illegally, a government spokesman said on Friday, with state governments told to form task forces for the purpose.
Tens of thousands of Rohingya have fled persecution in Buddhist-majority Myanmar to neighboring Bangladesh since the early 1990s, with some of them then crossing over a porous border into Hindu-majority India.
New Delhi says only around 14,000 of the Rohingya living in India are registered with the UN refugee agency, making the rest illegal and liable to be sent back. India is not a signatory to UN conventions on refugees and no national law covers it.
“These things are being discussed at diplomatic level with both Bangladesh and Myanmar,” Interior Ministry spokesman K.S. Dhatwalia said.
“More clarity will emerge at an appropriate time.”
Junior Interior Minister Kiren Rijiju told parliament on Wednesday the federal government had directed state governments to “constitute task forces at district levels to identify and deport the illegally staying foreign nationals”.
Rijiju was in Myanmar recently to attend an event, although it was not clear if he discussed the Rohingya issue.
