The crisis is seen as composed of various clusters of past and present human rights violations in Myanmar which has caused their forced migration to neighboring countries like Bangladesh contributing to security and socioeconomic problems. Bangladesh is the most vulnerable country facing Rohingya refugee crisis although it successfully resisted the eviction and in 1978 and 1992 through successful repatriation. But, recently, being attacked by Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), a Rohingya extrimist group, Myanmar government and its Buddhist supporters started to persecute the race. As a result, estimated 603,000 refugees fled Rakhine, Myanmar for Bangladesh in 2017 and the United Nations called the exodus as " textbook example " of ethnic cleansing. Analysing secondary sources and using qualitative method, this paper discovers the historical development of Rohingya, factors and effects of crisis on Bangladesh. This paper explores the local and international attempts to face the challenge and suggests other solution to solve the crisis. In the light of social work, the study also focuses on the responsibilities and duties of social workers for increasing social functioning through pyscho-social development of Rohyngyas.

The Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group in Rakhine, are considered among the most persecuted, vulnerable, and oppressed minorities in the world. Recently, the persecution on the Rohingya Muslims has increased due to Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar. The Rohingya continue to suffer from several forms of restrictions and human rights violations in Myanmar due to them being denied Myanmar citizenship. They are victims of various forms of oppression, such as arbitrary taxation, land confiscation, destruction of mosques, torture and ill-treatment, extrajudicial executions, restrictions on movements, forced eviction and house destruction, forced laborers on roads and at military camps, and financial restrictions on marriage. Since the 1970s, a number of crackdowns on the Rohingya in Rakhine have forced them to flee to neighboring countries. More than one million Rohingyas have migrated to refugee camps in the Bangladeshi district of Cox’s Bazar. This article deals with the origin of the Rohingya, the form of their citizenship, and recent oppression in the Rakhine State of Myanmar.
The Rohingya Crisis⎯ Uncertain Future of the Rohingya Ethnic Minority in Bangladesh
The Jahangirnagar Review, Part-C, Vol. XXXI, 2022
Bangladesh has shown a great level of generosity by opening its door for the Rohingya ethnic minority, which is sadly lacking in many parts of the world, including in this particular region of South Asia. Bangladesh hosts nearly 1.1 million Rohingyas who have fled the persecution in Myanmar. Among these, the majority took shelter in the last few years of massive oppression directed by the Myanmar military forces. Further, they live in cruel conditions in the camps and need severe help. The fate of the Rohingya refugees in the camps of Cox's Bazar is insecure and uncertain. This article aims at highlighting the two most critical issues about the Rohingya crisis, which are: one of the most critical aspects of the crisis⎯ 'the repatriation process', which did not come into sight until now, and the delay of the repatriation process, which add another new dimension in this crisis⎯ 'Bangladesh's plan to relocate 100,000 Rohingyas in an island called Bhashan Char'.

The Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh: A Vulnerable Group in Law and Policy
Journal of Studies in Social Sciences, 2014
Bangladesh is an over populated country of South Asia. India and Myanmar are the closest neighboring states of Bangladesh with whom it shares its borders. Right after her independence in 1971, Bangladesh has started experiencing the constant refugee flight of Muslim Rohingya from Myanmar because of the fear of religious as well as ethnic persecution. Bangladesh has mostly welcomed them and provided them protection under the ad hoc decisions, notwithstanding there is no statutory law for the refugees. But till 2013, no solution has been found and the numbers of refugee flights have been gradually increasing to the extent it is said, Rohingya refugees are spoiling the reputation of Bangladesh in the international arena besides committing various crimes under the guise of fake Bangladeshi passport. Bangladesh is in a quandary over the refugee issues: firstly being the human rights issue and secondly the national security issue. I am of the positive and proactive opinion that it is now the appropriate time that Bangladesh should enact strict domestic laws to prevent the indirectly forced entrance of the Rohingyas from Myanmar.

Conflict Potential of the Rohingya People in Bangladesh and Beyond
JAS (Journal of ASEAN Studies)
The article addresses how Myanmar's Rohingya conflict could generate a potential for conflict within the borders of Bangladesh and beyond. The conflict in Myanmar due to the Rohingyas being deprived of their national citizenship had led to the mass exodus in 2017 to Bangladeshi land and the subsequent conflict in the host place. It was referred to various situations, including disputes, killing, abduction, and tensions between the refuges and host people.

The theoretical basis proposed in the article had been supported with reliable secondary sources of information and published expert opinions on the contemporary situation of the temporary Rohingya settlements in Bangladesh with regards to their sheltering, refugee management, an...
Critical Analysis of Rohingyan Crisis in Myanmar and its Impact on Neighbouring Countries
This article argues that Rohingya as “illegal citizens” in Myanmar and as refugees in other states of South East Asia are a marginalized community of the world and also increase challenges for receiving states. Myanmar has been deliberately declared them illegal citizens and demolished their villages after the latest genocide and build military barracks along the Bangladesh border. So, now almost two million Rohingya are living in refugee camps in different countries. For this article qualitative method and secondary data such as newspapers and articles are used. For ethnic cleansing of Rohingya from Myanmar, government and Buddist monks used the religion and ethnic cards; they introduced many policies such as citizenship bill of 1982, the Rohingya exodus and 969 movement. As a result, many people fled to neighboring states and become a challenge for the economy and society of receiving states such as Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.
