You all must have seen news items for last so many days that members of Muslim community known as Rohingyas in Myanmar are fleeing the country and are entering India as illegal immigrants and asking for refuge here. Yesterday Home Minister Rajnath Singh made a statement that the illegal foreign immigrants will be strongly dealt with and he further added that Rohingya refugees staying in different parts of our country pose a security threats as they could be recruited by terrorist groups. Rohingyas are people who from various parts of world including then united India migrated to Burma(now known as Myanmar) as labourer. After independence from British rule in 1948, there were many ethnic group in Burma but Rohingyas were not considered for citizenship. As per the act they could apply for ID cards given by then govt, whose families lived their for 2 generations. Rohingyas then were given either citizenship or Cards. After the Military coup in 1962, the things changed for Rohingyas, they were given only foreign IDs, which limited the jobs and educational opportunities. After the new citizenship law in 1982 Rohingyas were again denied citizenship and they were rendered stateless. Violence by Rohingyas became apermanent feature in Myanmar for last so many decades. After the killings of 9 policemen in 2016 , this happened in Rakhine state where Rohingyas stay, the govt claimed that an armed group of Roningyas killed them and started troubling them, and in process Rohingyass started leaving the country and taking refuge in neighbouring countries. There is one more side of this story — fed up with violence going on between Rohingyas and govt forces for many decades, the people of Myanmar started opposing Rohingyas, and the man who united them in their fight was a Budhist monk named Wirathu.(image given below)

He is the person who in his preaching started saying that we all are peace l0ving people but we can not sleep with a mad dog and we have to stop this violence and for this if we have to use weapons then we all must be prepared for the same. This united the ordinary citizens of the Myanmar and they started fighting the Rohingyas, which resulted in poor Rohingyas fleeing the country. The Rohingyas started fearing the Wirathu and his fellow monks and their disciples. Wirathu often says in preaching that he is inspired by Bhagwat Gita’s teachings and hence to fight the violence he advised his followers to pick arms.
Taking inspiration from Myanmar Budhists, the Budhists in Sri Lanka has also started against Muslims and they have opened a organisation known as Gobhru Bala Sena which is having his head quarters at Budhist Cultural Centre at Colombo, which was opened by Sri Lankan President. Budhist Monks in their sermons have started saying that country is facing threat from Muslim terrorist organisations and hence we all must unite to fight this menace.
China is also taking cue from the above, and trying to quell the violence and Jehad practiced by Muslims in Shinzian province, where Muslims for decades are protesting and asking for Muslims law in the province. Here the Muslims defy the Chinese govt law of one child per family. It has been said that the Muslims from this area go to Pakistan for terrorist training and come back and trouble Chinese. After seeing what happened in Myanmar, the Chinese govt has banned the Muslims in this area to keep beard, wear caps and burkas, and they are also not allowed to keep rozas.
Now Wirathu has become one of the biggest enemy of Muslim terror groups all over the world. If you surf on the net and go to google, you will find that he is being listed as Budhist terrorist from Myanmar
Friends, Have you heard the name of Wirathu before, it is really surprising that I have never heard the name of monk Wirathu, who has become terror for the Muslim terror organisation. According to me the fault lies with our media who is most of the time pro Muslim. Here is one monk, who has challenged the Muslims and they did not know what hit them, and there is no mention about Wirathu in our print and visual media. It seems that Muslims have habit of asking that they should be allow to practice their religion as per their wishes, which may not be the system of the country where they are residing. Now many of the countries are taking tough action against Muslims on this issue, Australia refused, many European countries are refusing and are not allowing Muslims to openly practice their religion, they say your religion is a your private affair and it should be confined to your homes, and if you want to stay in this country you have to abide by the law of the country.
So what you say my friends.
Awaiting for your feed backs and comments.
