Read about the plight of Hindus in Myanmar who are targeted by both military junta and Islamists

Op India  

The conflict in Myanmar, which significantly escalated following the military coup in February 2021, is now entering its fourth year. This could have been a collateral damage inflicted in a war zone, but one is also reminded that the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army had in 2017 massacred some 99 Hindus in Rakhine state.” During the attacks on Hindu villagers, the ARSA reportedly asserted that they regarded the unarmed Hindu minority and the Arakanese or Rakhine population as “the same.” It consistently alleged that few Rohingya Islamist factions, some of which are believed to operate from Bangladesh, have engaged in combat against them on behalf of the Myanmar army, executing numerous terror strikes targeting civilians. Over 50 per cent of residents are Muslims while the remaining are ethnic groups.” During the same month, a group of Hindus and Buddhists was taken hostage by Rohingya terror groups in Buthiduang, located in the Arakan state of Myanmar’s Rakhine region. There are over 1600 Hindus and over 120 Buddhists who have been held hostage by them there at present.” “Myanmar’s military regime provided basic military training to members of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army and Arakan Rohingya Army to fight against the AA,” the source highlighted as outbreak of riots driven by religious and ethnic divisions forced Hindus and other minority groups to escape in search of safety. A source from Arakan stated, “There are nearly 11 militant groups operating out of Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh which include the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation, Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, Arakan Rohingya Army.
