Abstract

Rohingya, an ethnic minority group in the Rakhine state of Myanmar, has been levelled as one of the most persecuted ethnic groups in contemporary time. For the last five decades, they have been undergoing systematic torture ranging from deprivation of citizenship to mass killing and forceful eviction from their inhabitants. The army of Myanmar spearheads this persecution, which is deemed as genocidal. However, the engagement of radical Buddhist groups and support from the local Burmese population worsened the situation. Along with army inter-vention and ethnic differences, some economic and geostrategic question is highlighted behind this inhuman situation. But Myanmar consists of more than 100 ethnic groups, and there are other similar areas with similar economic and geostrategic importance. Though there are several instances of conflict in some of those areas, they are almost unparalleled comparing that of the Rakhine state. Having acknowledged the multiple genealogies of this conflict, this paper focuses more on the state/nation building process of Myanmar to understand the exceptionalism of Rohingya persecution. We want to argue that rather than ethnic tension or geostrategic interest, the nation/state-building of Myanmar in different phases of its history can put more light on the unique suffering of the Rohingya population in Myanmar. Analyzing the key historical transition of Myanmar, we attempt to trace the gradual exclusivity of the Rohingya people in the evolution of State manufactured discourse on the question of nation and their deliberate enactment of speciϐic identity while alienating the other. Keywords: Rohingya, Myanmar, Nationalism, Identity, State/Nation-Building.

缅甸:罗兴亚的种族清洗。从民族民族主义到民族宗教民族主义
罗兴亚人是缅甸若开邦的一个少数民族,被列为当代最受迫害的民族之一。在过去的五十年里,他们一直在遭受系统性的酷刑,从剥夺公民身份到大规模屠杀和强行驱逐居民。缅甸军队带头进行这种被视为种族灭绝的迫害。然而,激进佛教团体的参与和当地缅甸人的支持使局势恶化。在这种不人道的局势背后,伴随着军队介入和种族差异,一些经济和地缘战略问题凸显出来。但缅甸由100多个民族组成,还有其他具有类似经济和地缘战略重要性的类似地区。尽管其中一些地区发生了几起冲突,但与若开邦相比,这些冲突几乎是无与伦比的。在承认这场冲突的多重谱系后,本文更多地关注缅甸的国家/民族建设过程,以理解罗兴亚迫害的例外主义。我们想说,与其说是种族紧张或地缘战略利益,不如说是缅甸历史不同阶段的国家建设可以更多地揭示缅甸罗兴亚人的独特苦难。通过分析缅甸的关键历史转型,我们试图追溯罗兴亚人在国家制造的关于民族问题的话语演变中的逐渐排他性,以及他们在疏远他人的同时故意制定特定身份。关键词:罗兴亚人,缅甸,民族主义,身份认同,国家/民族建设。
