Tasmida Johar, became India's first woman to graduate from Rohingya community

Nearly 20,000 registered Rohingya refugees lives in India.....


New Delhi - India's first woman, Tasmida Johar graduated from displaced Rohingya community.

 

She said, I'm happy but at the same time I'm sad because I'm the first one to do so where many Rohingya women wanted to come to this position but they could not, report says. 

 

She also mentioned, in Mayanmar if the authorities found out that any Rohingya owned a business then they were "attacked and jailed". 

 

The Rohingya, persecuted community, mainly Muslim minority, neighboring Mayanmar, had a brutal military crackdown in 2017, which according to the United Nations held for "genocidal intent".

 

 

Most of the Rohingya has went to Bangladesh, in its Cox's bazar district converting it to world's largest refugee camp with more than a million refugees, living in homes made up of bamboo and tarpaulin.

 

 

In India as refugees nearly 20,000 Rohingya are registered with the United Nations, arrived before 2017 some of them. More than a thousand of them live on the outskirts of New Delhi.

 

 

In India, after 2014 when a Hindu nationalist party came to power, the community has faced hate speech and attacks, with the government last year saying until they are deported back to Mayanmar the Rohingya will be held in detention camps.
