SOLVING ROHINGYA PROBLEM

With the commemoration of World Refugee Day earlier this week, one of the planet’s most marginalised communities, the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar, are back under the international spotlight — and alongwith them, so is Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize winner and the West’s Great Hope for Democracy in the south-east Asian nation. Given the almost saintly halo that had been built around Suu Kyi especially by the Western Press, it was taken for granted that when she comes to power, she will bring relief and succour to the long-suffering Rohingyas, who, forget about rights and benefits, are barely acknowledged by the Myanmar state and routinely persecuted by society.
