Authors

Abstract
In this paper I have tried to focus on the “world’s most persecuted minority Rohingya”. Oppression and persecution of Rohingya frequently occurs in Rakhine province of Myanmar. In August 2017 once again terrible violence commenced by Myanmar’s military forces against Rohingya Muslim. They are deprived from their own citizenship, rights, education, home and even food. They have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh and looking asylum in some other neighbouring countries. As far as India’s concern, it came suddenly in limelight because government is planning to deport 40, 0000 Rohingyas settled in Jammu and Kashmir to Myanmar, because of potential security threat and considering some additional things such as Economic burden, demographic misbalance and over populated country like India has not directly offered shelter and asylum to these persecuted ethnic people. This callous steps have taken by India has raised some questions regarding ethics and values of Indian foreign policy. But it is comprehensible that if India would take any strong position in favor of Rohingya can escort stain relations between two sides. Myanmar is a gateway of North East Asian region which location is strategically very crucial. For the development of India’s North East region Myanmar is very important. India has signed several agreements with Myanmar to boost the various aspects such as trade and investments, commerce, natural resources, education, culture, tourism and some other areas. Hence in the consideration of all these things India has thought of to take very pragmatic decisions. In my view India has been taking its steps very carefully. India is offering huge financial assistance and stuffs of basic necessities to Bangladesh on the Humanitarian ground. It has also appealed to Myanmar to take certain steps to finish the crisis.
