The situation of the Rohingya people, a Muslim minority group in Myanmar, is complex and sensitive and involves a number of political, economic, and social factors. India has not been accepting Rohingya refugees on a large scale, and the Indian government has stated that the Rohingya living in India are illegal immigrants and a security threat.

If the Rohingya were Hindu instead of Muslim, it is possible that the Indian government's stance would be different. India has a large Hindu majority population, and the Indian government is led by a Hindu nationalist party. Historically, the government and specific sectors of society have been less welcoming of Muslim minorities, and some people in India view them with suspicion. At the same time, they see Hindu refugees in a more favorable light.

It's worth noting, however, that the Indian government's stance on the Rohingya is not solely based on religious grounds, but also on security concerns. The Indian government has stated that the Rohingya living in India are illegal immigrants and a security threat, citing intelligence inputs that the Rohingya have been targeted for recruitment by extremist groups.

If Rohingyas were Hindus would India accept them

It is also important to remember that accepting refugees is not only a domestic issue but also a complex international issue, where the dynamics of refugee movements, the rights of refugees, and the capacity of host countries are at play. India is not a signatory to the 1951 UN refugee convention and does not have a national refugee law, which makes the management of refugees difficult.

It is not fair to say that India's stance on Rohingya would be the same if they were Hindus, and it would be more appropriate to say that India's stance on the Rohingya issue is complex and multifaceted, taking into account multiple factors such as security, domestic laws and policies, and international relations.

Really a grave question! basically, we have to see the history of Rohingyas to reach any consequence. Rohingyas are pure Muslims who were thrown by all the nations sharing boundaries with India. They were not allowed to pursue the shelter of the Islamic Organisation (IOC) neither they were accepted by anyone just because their habit was not similar to humans. They are not educated, do not have etiquette, or do not have guidance to live. They can not contribute to any country's well-being hence they were thrown by Bangladesh and other countries. Now if we consider them Hindus and they were thrown by other nations they would have of course allowed in India because of their ancient connection with India. in some way or other their ancestors were Hindus and also they lived in India but due to some boundary partition they were forced to leave India so it does not mean they are refugees. India was earlier the Akhand Bharat which were covering all the parts of boundary countries and hence all the Hindus present in the world all having a connection with Akhand Bharat. There is also an important aspect of Islamic Terrorism that is very harmful to countries like India whose economy is just growing. India should never accept the Rohingyas just because they can easily pursue by ISIS or Jihadis to inculcate terrorist activities in India and that can have a large impact on Indian Growth. The most important thing Rohingyas need is bread, butter, and shelter. They can be easily charmed with some lucrative deal and used as a human bomber which can be another example of 26/11. Besides not having permission of entering India's Border some of them were allowed by the border area or Bangladesh like West Bengal in the governing power of Mamata Banerjee and were transported to Delhi and other parts of India. Now Rohingyas are being used as verified voters in Delhi and other parts of India to vote in the favor of the Aam Aadmi Party and Trinamool Congress Party to maintain their governing power in the states. They can be easily seen on the corner of the roads in India living as a beggar and eating living flesh with rice and untidy clothes. Here the question is- Does India has the economic ability to provide bread, butter, and shelter to the Rohingyas, Not poor but dangerous to Indian security, Fearless, and cannibals? In my opinion, the government should not allow them to reside inside the country until it has the wealth as compared to the wealties country in the world. - Ravi Misra11-Jan-2023
