"We are the people of Arakan” says
A Rohingya historian
Buddhist narrative says “ We are the “virus” in action
We are from Arakan” says
A Rohingya historian
Rakhine Mogh says “We are taking over their land and their vision”
A Rohingya historian
Rohingya's origin is in the ancient indigenous Chandra nation
Rohingya origin in Chandra- Arab synthesis from 7th century began
Arakan was a Hindu kingdom until the 11th century like the Shan nation
Rakhine Mogh says We are taking over Arakan?
Mass migration of Moghs during the 11th century from mainland Burma began
Pushed the Chandra Arabs (Hindu-Muslims) toward northern Akakan
Who is taking over our Rohingya land?
The land divided: Southern Arakan for Mogh Buddhists
North for Hindus and Muslims, the land was not shared by friends
Who is taking over Arakan?
Theravada Buddhists ruled the nation with knife and fist
Chakma, Tanchingya, Kuki, Rohingya disappeared from Southern Arakan just like the mist
Who is taking over Arakan?
Buddhist continued to push the Rohingya from the south
toward the north through destruction
Buddhist narrative says, “Rohingyas are taking over Arakan”
In the medieval period, Wali Khan and Sindhi Khan came to help Noromi Kla save Arakan
Rohingya people are the decendents of Wali Khan and Sindhi Khan
“Who is taking over Arakan?’ says the historian.
Who is destroying our mosques, schools, renaming our places turning into a Rakhine nation?
It is the Buddhist monks and the holighan
“Who is taking over Arakan?’ says the historian.
Who is causing the Rohingya extermination?
Mogh narrative says “ Rohingya are the foreign settlers in northern Arakan.”
In maungdaw, Buthedaung, Akyab and Mro haung
But the name "Rohang" originated from Mrohaung, says the historian
Akyab from Persian ak ab (one river, like Punjab), Arakan from Rokon,
We are the people of maungdaw, Buthedaung, Akyab and Mro haung
Moghs slaughtered the Moghul prince Shah Suja and his family
Mogh's slaugher, piracy and terror is in their native culture.
In 1666, Shaistha Khan removed them from lower Bengal in a historic adventure
We have been in Arakan before Burma occupied it in 1774
Francis Buchanon met Rohingya of Arakan even before.
But Burmese genocide led many Rohingya and Mogh take shelter in the Chittagong ‘s Cox’s Bazar sea shore
We the Rohingya are people of the land
We were happy people before 1982 and acted like a band.
We had ministers in the Aung San’s cabinet, and after, we had MPs. We are the people of the land
Our people were removed from jobs, businesses. Do you know the man, dmenon who?
It was General Ne Win who came to power through a coup
We were the citizens of the country until 1982
From Ne Win’s infactious barbarian hate
His army began to rape our women, kill our children in 1978
it evicted 200 000 Rohingya killing by marchettes and bate
We were 3 million in 1977. We are from Chandra, Arab, and from Shindhi Khan gong
Still they claim we are illegal immigrants from Chittagong
We were reduced to 2 million in 1993, We are now reduced to only 800,000, strong
Mogh intellectuals call us “viruses to be exterminated” from Arakan
Aye Chan and Aye Mong, the ideologues working hard as if Ivan
the terrible of the Nazi German
Aye Chan spreads the anti Rohingya venom
among the Rakhine Mogh villager non literate men and women
Even the xenophobe Suu Kyi doesn’t want to use our name “Rohingya” which as the democracy leader she can
The Rohingya historian says "Who is taking over Arakan?
Isn't it the xenophobe Mogh and Burman?
She dropped our MPs from her parliament of Burman, Kachine and Shan
The truth is we are the Rohingya people of Arakan,
We are in the process of a genocidal extermination.
To save the Rohingya, we need none but the UN’s protection
