The Continuing History of Rohingya Settlement in Bangladesh

This chapter provides an analytical discussion concerning the formation of the Rohingya settlement in Bangladesh. The Rohingya settlement was a phenomenon which took place due to the population’s displacement from their land of origin to escape from persecution and human rights violations. After touching upon the history behind the arrival of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, the discussion sequentially moves on to the present scenario of post-2017, which has seen a dramatic increase of this population in host country Bangladesh. The discussion involves the measures and initiatives taken by the government of Bangladesh and other national and international agencies and organizations to properly accommodate the Rohingya refugees in the host state.
