Paper Title
ROHINGYA REFUGEES AND THE ATTITUDE OF BANGLADESH AND INDIA

Abstract
Rohingyas are an ethnic group of people originally belonging to the Rakhine state of Myanmar(Burma). They have been subject to hatred by the majority Burmese leading to violent attacks on these people by fanatic elements and killings which had increased more since the last decade. They had been expelled from their homeland in Rakhineregion and had enteredthe neighbouring nations of Bangladesh and India as refugees. This article speaks about the status of Rohingya refugees and the attitude of the South Asian neighbours like India and Bangladesh.Bangladesh has taken a proactive step in rehabilitating the Rohingya refugees by setting up a colony for them. But at the same time the ruling elites of Bangladesh have often kept them in ghetto like conditions.In the long run, the Rohingya refugees are living in sub-human conditions. In this process the sustainable development goals in that nation have been neglected. Talking about India, its ruling elites in place of rehabilitating them have put the Rohingyas in some slums and are determined to deport them back to Myanmar. The paper starts with an introduction of the Rohingya problem and their plight in Myanmar. Second, it follows with an attitude of the Bangladeshi govt. towards them since the last decade. Third, it speaks about the attitude of the Indian government towards these refugees. While summing up on the status of the Rohingya people in these two nations the issue of human development and sustainable development goals as set up by the UN has been highlighted. The methodology used is a qualitative analysis with a combination of primary documents and secondary sources like books and articles.
