Summary

Introduction

In order to understand the role of China may or may not resolve the Rohingya crisis it is essential to look at the background of the Rohingya history. Based on the information captured by Rahman, Anusara, Chanthamith, Hossain and Al-amin (2018) Rohingyas are the ancient settlers of the Arakan state – a state which was lately known as Rakhine where the early dynasties were originated as followers of Hindus and Mahayana Buddhists. This literature further suggests that the Arab traders used Arakan for naval routes, who eventually settled down in Arakan, married members of the local community – as a result the Muslim population grew formidably in the region (Ibid, 2018). Even though Islam (2009) defined Rohingyas as Arab traders who guarded around the coastal line of Bay of Bengal and mentioned a common connection between the language of Rohingyas with that of the local community in Chittagong–this notion can be backed by evidences which are provided by other authors such as Leider (2013) who clearly suggested a crucial link between the Rohingyas and the ancient Bengali Muslims
