Who are Rohingya?

Rohingya is an ethical group hailing from the Rakhine Province of west Myanmar. They are mostly Muslim and speak Bengali dialect. They fled to Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia and few more countries including India to protect themselves from attacks in Myanmar

Apart from this, they are human and are forced to live their lives equivalent to animals. They aren’t getting equal opportunities because Myanmar classified them as ‘resident foreigners’ or ‘associated citizens’.
