Public sentiment is highly polarized regarding the Rohingya refugee crisis. There is significant empathy and calls for humanitarian action, especially aimed at Muslim countries and international organizations; however, frustration persists over their inaction and concerns about immigration impacts in host nations. While many express sorrow for the Rohingya plight, others voice skepticism about their claims and potential resource strains, particularly focusing on national security and immigration issues.

150K+ came after 2024. Afaik. There's been incidents at the camp such as fire by local rohingya gangs though I can't confirm. Some Arakan media claim that ARA, ARSA are attacking Arakan Army BOP near Naf river disguised as Bengali fishermen which is why AA is vigilant in the border.

The article is about how India threw Rohingya immigrants into the sea. Even if they were illegal immigrants, this is not how a civilised nation behaves. If you want to justify or ignore this behaviour, you don't belong here.

Mahn these Rohingyas must have the worst fate . They're living in a country that hate them to death, neither their Ummah neighbours doing anything to them , nor the country they're seeking help is in good shape. Their situation is so bad that even Indonesia can't do anything for them. Even Afghans had USA for support.

Unfortunately, none of the neighboring countries have developed a collaborative action plan to assist ostracized refugees from any region, without which offering refuge becomes extremely difficult. Hence, India need to deport them.

We do not have the capability to house refugees when most of our citizenry is starving, once the government takes them in they will be left to their own devices better to deport them to Bangladesh which accepts them or to Myanmar, but I do agree that this method was horrible and inhumane

No_Restaurant_8441

Not just rohingya refugees. Indian citizens have also been pushed into hostile counties at gunpoint. 


As for refugees being illegal, you need read up on the international law to understand how asinine that claim is.

As per the article, one of the military personnel even accused them of being involved in Pahalgam terror attack while throwing them into the sea.

Everytime this report gets repeated, it just exaggerates a bit more

If Rohingya were Hindu, they wouldn’t have been deported. And that would’ve been a good thing. We are 1.4B, a few more wouldn’t change things one way or another.

mr_uptight

Maybe it's for Pakistan to say that they are the land of the pure and accept these persecuted people.

“ the court has agreed to hear arguments on 29 September to decide whether the Rohingya can be treated as refugees or if they are illegal immigrants and therefore subject to deportations.

Considering that tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees are living in India, it's not clear why so much effort was devoted to deporting these 40 people.”

This would have only happened on Modi's orders. 

Head_Opportunity2651

This wouldn't have been done if the country had just accepted their people back

MrCoolBoy001

Can we also do the same to these bhakts that are illegally taking refuge in this sub?

tedxtracy

How did these Rohingya enter India in the first place?  

The BSF/Coast Guard officers that allowed this to happen (out of corruption or incompetence) should also be dumped into the sea.

Anyone against deportation of Illegal migrants should sit and think and not speak, India already has its own population problem and now we have Rohingyas problem, Heck even Muslim Majority nation don't want to accept them because of Various reasons you can look these things up there are documentaries regarding Rohingyas being denied in Indonesia.

Anyways as long as they are sent back they are someone else's problem.

This is a complicated issue I don't think we can solve this issue in one go, it's better to interact with mayanmar government and request them to take their people respectful I know it's difficult but still we should help them go back to their home ,but please don't insult them like that because we also didn't liked when Trump send all the illegal indians back like prisoners so we should be careful

Sweet_Yak1726

India has limited resources, plus India is not a signatory to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, so it is under no obligation to accept them. It's highly unfortunate, and no one should be treated like that. Myanmar, to this day, refuses to recognize them as citizens.

AdEvening8700

Rohingyas are Indians who went to Myanmar many during the British rule of Myanmar. Some accounts suggest much earlier. They can be Hindu or Muslim. Speak Urdu-Hindi and/or Bengali. 

Yes, there has been Writ Petition filed Rohingyas against Government of India for illegal extradition in this route. So BBC report may not be wrong.

Government of India, if it did should be ashamed of such illegal acts. Rule of the Land and Constitution should be uphold at any cost!. I hope High/Supreme Court act on this and not become rubber stamp of Sanghi's!

prags79

The BBC article does not fully address India’s non-signatory status to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, which legally allows India to treat Rohingya as illegal migrants rather than refugees. While it mentions India’s stance that UNHCR cards are not recognized, it downplays the legal framework (e.g., Foreigners Act, 1946) that permits deportations without due process for non-citizens. This omission could mislead readers unfamiliar with India’s legal position.

Posts on illegal immigration always seem to attract the dung beetles among Indians.

And the irony is that most of the talking points in matters relating to illegal immigration are actually beautifully crafted stories like the Supreme Court says.

Unless you show evidence in court, Court will not accept it. In this case it is impossible to get evidence. 
I neither trust Indian authorities or the Rohingyas. The humanity of Indian authorities is well known to every Indian. The way they treat there own citizens, I shudder at how they are gonna treat non citizens

However Rohingyas  and lot of NGO has every reason to exaggerate and make Indian Authorities look cruel
Its only going to get worse as more Rohingyas try to move to India from Bangladesh. I dont really see  a good ending here for them and no country is going to accept them

Noobodiiy

We don't care about illegal immigrants,If they got their nation why don't they live there why increase burden on india

it's not india's responsibility to spoon feed them and the next moment they turn against us and starts to build administration 

like paxtani did in UK

Mother_Asparagus4229

Why were we up in arms when US deported illegal Indians

Rohingyas have a better case than the Indians illegally entering America

Display of Indian hypocrisy

Life_Machine_9694

They are only referring to the case of rohingya being thrown in water. They are not denying rohingya refugees as a whole.

The title is misleading.

In a country with 1.5 bil population a few lac Robingyas should not pose any big prob( except security issues like terror connection etc). However, why did govt let them enter at the very first place?Not that we don't have border security. And if did, then there is no point politicizing it and creating panic.

CharacterBit5048

Probably would lead to heavier Indian intervention in the Myanmar Civil War as Bangladesh pushes these migrants straight through to India.

bob-theknob

Europe and North America won't experience a refugee crisis.  Europe got the knock on effects from Syria because it's easy to get from Syria to the EU; it simply isn't as easy for a Rohingya refugee to get to Europe or NA.  Obviously it could be hugely destabilizing and controversial for South Asian polities, but effectively it won't have an impact in Europe or America.

Frankly, one of the big issues in both those places is that immigrants and refugees get access to a lot of help that they simply don't anywhere else, and the people living there resent the implied additional burden.

The Rohingya refugee crisis has reached a critical point as Bangladesh's interim leader calls for urgent international action to address the dire humanitarian situation.
