Description:
"Amid all cosmopolitan whimpering of a barrier free
world, modern-State with its essence of legal coercion
and phlegmatic exclusivity continues to flaunt. In such
absoluteness, enquiring the issues of people seeking
refugee would be synonymous to that of traversing the
margins. Particularly at a time of extreme jingoism and
other form of conservative assertions, the idea of ‘global
village’ unfolds as a ‘formless chaos’, more particularly
for the displaced people and subsequent forced refugees.
While prolongation of UN and the ever expanding wave
of globalization yield a consolatory ground, the reality
of many lives opens horizon of indispensable necessity
to contemplate global injustice and question the ideal
protocols of international morality. For instance, the
images of Syrian exodus in recent times reminded
many the reality of inter war period. Moreover, the
events, inter alia, Brexit, the result of U.S. Presidential
election and subsequent anti-immigration policies and
many immigration related reforms under taken by sub
continental governments insinuate the world might
be undergoing a radical phase of extremely inwardly
complacent national attitude. Many a countries not
signing the 1951 Refugee Convention makes the
issue of the refugees all the more important and worth
academic contemplation. In fact, the immediate fallout
of many refugee related events has given the world a
pressing sense of human rights violation in multiple
facets as well as degrees. More often than not, the world
has proved to be too unkind to let the hapless sustain.
If one were to rhapsodise recent cases of refugee that
can really interrogate the intrinsic values of human
survival, for obvious reason, it would have been the
Syrian exodus and the Statelessness of the Rohingyas.
While the agonizing plights of these two populations
have been captivated by media with subsequent
deliberation, a fruitful solution to their problem is still
a distant dream. This paper attempts to decipher the
Rohingya issue and construe it as an enduring injustice
embodied in indifference as well as abandonment. It is with this argument that the paper starts with a brief
account of the historiography of the Rohingyas, giving
some sense to understand the trajectory of their current
predicament. The next section would seek to trace the
root, events and pattern of probable genocide inflicted
on these people. This section would establish the
violence, marginalization and state sponsored atrocities
to recover the pattern of a radical and enduring injustice.
The last section arrests the state of stolidity on part of
international community as well as abandonment of the
population by the Burmese government. This would
eventually prove their case as one of enduring injustice
embodied in indifference..."
