| Impact statement: Such attitude of the government is also manifest in not having any formal national law or policy on dealing with refugees or stateless people. With its huge population and a modestly developing economy, the government’s apprehension towards any greater integration or even uninhibited interaction between the Rohingya and the rest of the population is understandable. This apprehension is manifest, inter alia, in the imposition of a ban on registering marriages between Rohingya and Bangladeshis. Many of the Rohingyas, particularly the young ones with very limited scope for formal education and training, are not only passing a hopeless life but may also fall prey to the allure of criminal gangs. This paper would demonstrate how such an absence of law and policy is helping neither the Rohingyas living in the camps nor the government of Bangladesh. |
