Rohingya in South Asia

Rendered stateless by Myanmar's 1982 Citizenship Act, they face systematic violence, discrimination, and displacement that have forced hundreds of thousands into exile across South and Southeast Asia.This revised edition provides an expanded examination of Rohingya experiences in Bangladesh and India, analyzing conditions in overcrowded refugee camps, the perilous journeys undertaken in search of safety, and the profound human rights implications of statelessness. It critically assesses international responses to the crisis and confronts the challenges of repatriation without guarantees of citizenship or security.An essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in refugee studies, human rights, South Asian studies, and political science, this volume also speaks directly to policymakers, activists, and anyone seeking to understand one of the twenty-first century's most urgent humanitarian crises.
