Dear Dr. Aye Chan,

We are very grateful to read your explanation about Rohingyas , which you means they are without historical background .Right before you,they had historical background because the world did not have historian like you (Thu dae Thi) then.

So I am really sorry! Why you are behind these oppressed tracing all activities instead of tracing Bangladeshi Jhumia Maghs, who reached to the peak of Arakan administration (Authority) because they are your co-religionist????
My Dear Dr.Aye Chan,

I would like to ask you simple innocent questions,,,

Are you going to collect all Magh from all over the world as Israeli so called JEWS from Ethiopia, Russia and etc..

If Magh can change to their name Rakhine , why cannot say Muslim of Arakan themselves Rohingya where they are people of Rohong…..

It will be better to advise you to follow Islam as most of your people are claiming them breeding religion in the name of ANTI MUSLIM. As a historian you do have judge in every corner not only in the Rohingya side but also you have to take care to safeguard the territory of Arakan Land which was 20,000 sq miles before now 14,200 sq miles at present .Also lost more than 100 sq miles in demarcation of border between Bangladesh and Burma in (MA SA LA) Ne Win’s regime.

So you better to consider reality not writing the propaganda of Rohingya and ostensible matters.

Dear reader,
I’m sharing the brief about magh people of Arakan shown below.

MAGH PEOPLE OF ARAKAN
Why do Maghs want to disown their own name? The fact is that for more than 2 centuries from the middle of 16th century till 1784, the year of Burmese conquest of Arakan, the Maghs of Arakan in collusion with Portuguese freebooters caused such an agonizing terror and consternation in the minds of people of Bengal that the name Magh becomes synonymous with pirates. The fierceness, cruelty, lawlessness and their obnoxious activities had led the land under occupation to earn the ignoble name of "Magher Mulluk" which means a land without law, justice and order. Magher Mulluk has become a proverbial meaning lawlessness.

The Buddhist community of Arakan owns the name Magh only as their lineage of ancestry traces to Magadha origin of Bihar. But the purity of Arian blood in these Magadah immigrants was lost as a result of intermarriages between them and their co-religionists – the Mongolians and Burmans, who overwhelmed the region intermittently for centuries. Later they are almost assimilated into Burmans. Their culture, civilization, language and appearance are as same as Burmans. Some of them are although struggling for Arakan, but their mentality and behavior are of Burmans. Burmans write their language as Burmese. They speak it with slight phonetic differences.

An account of the mid-seventeenth century historian Shahabuddin Talish "Fathya–I–Ibriya p. 183" suffices to authenticate the fact that those Maghs marauders belonged to the kingdom of Arakan. The account appears in his Fathya–I–Ibriya p. 183 as such "Arrcan pirates, both Maghs and Firingi, used constantly to (come) by water route and plunder Bengal. They carried off the Hindus and Muslims, male and female, great and small, few and many, that they could seize, pierced the palms of their hands, passed thin canes through the holes, and threw them one above another under the deck of their ship. In the same manner as grain is flung to fowls, every morn and evening they threw down uncooked rice from above to the captives as food". The Maghs have earned such a bad name during last many centuries that it has become a great shame for their descendants of today to own the name Magh. Instead they had started calling themselves as Rakhine the derivative of which is directly related to Arakan and Muslims. In Bangladesh district gazetteers, Chittagong, p. 115, wrote, "The term Rakhaing is in fact the corruption of Roang/Recon, the old name of Arakan. Hence all terms Rakan, Rakanj, Arkhank, Recon, Arraco, Arrcan used by different historians are related to either Roang or Arakan. It is in no way related to Rakkhapura as claimed by Arakanese chronicles”.

Today Burmese JUNTA says that there is no Rohoingyas, next day they will say, is there any Maghs? O’ Magh people, wait for this.
