Are interested me and half the small statues of marble. "Probably, they are very old?" - I ask of the abbot. He whistle me to the window and points to a nearby hill. Throughout his passes slope collapse. It turns out that the top of the hill when it was crowned with an ancient pagoda. Over time, it collapsed, and the land taken into their fold sacred wreckage.

Independent Arakan? Hardly
Unfortunately, life on the shores of Bay of Bengal is far from the idyll as on the other, and on this side of the Myanmar-Bangladesh border. Use at least the problem of so-called Rohingyas or rohindzha. This name serves a significant portion of Muslims living in Arakane. They claim to be the indigenous people of Arakan. In Myanmar, also do not agree with that, not without reason considering rohindzha Bengalis who moved to Myanmar with the adjacent territories of Bengal. From overpopulated Bangladesh in Arakan was a constant influx of illegal immigrants. The two border areas of the Muslims already make up the vast majority.
The massive influx of Bengali settlers began back in colonial times. Indeed, Burma is a member of the British colony of India. Most organizations rohidzha beginning to raise slogans of self-determination. Myanmar authorities in 1978 and in 1991-1992, attempted to drive out aliens from their territory, which led to the exodus of refugees who settled under the Cox's Bazaar. Some of them can be found here so far. In this environment, in Bangladesh threatened to Rohingya living in the country. Buddhists suffer during clashes between Hindus and Muslims in India. In reprisal Bangladeshi extremists begin to destroy the local Hindus, and the hot hand and get Rohingya-Buddhists. A lot I had to listen to this sad and even tragic stories about the oppression of Buddhists by Muslims. But there are examples of another kind. The monastery in Cox's Bazar praise for his faithfulness and Muslim guards. Bearded Mohammedan but looked strange against the background of fine statues of Buddha, but also protects them from any attack.
And Burmese, Rohingya and do not recognize the existence of a separate nation rohindzha. But the irony is that part of the Rohingya are not dreaming of the separation of Arakan of Myanmar and the re-establishment of an independent Arakan State. Fighters for independence of Arakan, the truth, more ideological, of the Rohingya emigrants, are in India and Thailand. Are they in Bangladesh. And there are some fragments of their time active Communist Party of Arakan. Her supporters can be found in Cox's Bazar. Familiar monk even offered to bring me to the right people. I refused. And then even think of any spy.
Watch journals Arakan nationalists in Thailand and India. In one of them - "The Power of Arakan", issued by the way, in the Burmese language, signs adversity, which is accompanied by the dominance of Myanmar in Arakan province. True, very hard and get so-called rohindzha.
In the cold we have to recognize that the independent Buddhist Arakan with two million people under the side of the overpopulated Bangladesh is impossible. And the majority of Rohingya is aware.
In Arakan village talk to one of its inhabitants. Neither the name of Maun. It turned out that it is not so long ago. Namely, fled from Arakan in 1988 after the military coup in Myanmar, fear of reprisals for participation in the democratic movement. Asked whether the emigrant ponevole satisfied with life in Bangladesh. Maun Neither responded smiling bitterly: "We are a minority here in the Islamic environment."
However, Bangladesh - a secular state with a multiparty democratic political system, which enables national and religious minorities to fight for their rights. In the Bangladesh Parliament was a representative, rather, representative of Rohingya, a famous professor of the medical college. Hopefully, that Hey Hey Khayn, powder-painted tanakhoy girl that I met in the convent, will succeed in life.
