My comments on #AJSTREAM #MyanmarCensus

I can challenge whole world. Check my #DNA we descendant of #Arakan. More then 1400AD record. 
According to former Chairman of Historical Commission, Burma, Lt. Col. Ba Shin’s “Coming of Islam to Burma 1700 AD”, Min Sawmon as Solaiman Shah, the founder of Mrauk-U dynasty and his successor were greatly influenced by Islamic culture. The practice of adopting a Muslim name or title by the Arakanese kings continued for more than two hundred years (1430 – 1638). This titles which appeared in Arabic script / Persian Kufic on their coin.

Agree with Nay San Lawin

However, the most well known notorious dictator Ne Win wiped out the Rohingya from the list of 144 ethnic groups and made it as 135 and enacted 1982 citizenship law. Since then, the Rohingya people became stateless within their own country.

Now the upcoming census code numbers are created based on 135 ethnic groups, Rohingya have no code number and they have to use the one available for others "914" who are excluded from the list of 135. Rohingyas are ready to fill up their race name “Rohingya” beside the code no. 914. But they are also in fear that the enumerators will not fill up as they claimed. The sources from Nay Pyi Taw said the government has already instructed the enumerators to fill up code no. 910 if someone claimed “Rohingya”. The code no. 910 is designated for the Bangladeshi under the category of foreigners. The local authorities in Arakan state are instructing the enumerators to leave the code and race name as blank. So later the government can write whatever they want.

We are not Bengali. We are #Rohingya.
