Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study will discuss the Rohingya ethnic group in Myanmar to find out the reasons why the Rohingya ethnic group was not given citizenship by the government when the government gave 135 other ethnic groups. This research is a qualitative explanatory study using the theory of Constructivism to answer the problem of this research. The method to collect data by literature study, the journals used as references are reputable journals randomly obtained from several publishers such as Taylor & Francis Online and Sage. In addition, researchers also use Harzing Publish or Perish, which uses 500 articles for bibliometric analysis, which are then processed using Vos Viewer. When searching for articles, the primary key used by the authors in Harzing is' the reasons why the Myanmar government does not give the Rohingya citizenship. The authors found that the reason the government did not grant citizenship to the Rohingya ethnic group was that the national identity was constructed based on national race, so the Rohingya were sidelined in the country. In addition, Buddhism is considered the country's national identity, so the government only grants citizenship to ethnic groups considered Indigenous to Myanmar. The religion practised by the Rohingya is considered incompatible with national identity and is considered a threat to the country.
