who are the Rohingya?

Rohingya ethnicity is the name of an ethnic group living in the state of Arakan/Rakhine since the 7th century AD (788 AD). Muslim settlement in Arakan as the forerunner of the Rohingya group can be traced back to the time of the Mrauk U Kingdom, especially during the time of King Narameikhla (1430–1434).
