The Rohingyas
A Short account of their history and culture
The Rohingya Muslims of Arakan played a glorious role in the establishment and
consolidation of the great Arakanese Empire known as Maruk-U Empire.
Unfortunately for us this part of history has been subjected to utter negligence. As a result,
the glorious chapter of the history of the Rohingya Muslims of Arakan has uptill now remains unwritten.
The author of the following pages, Dr. Abdul Karim, is a great scholar and reputed historian of this SubContinent in his own right. The present work “ THE ROHINGYAS : A SHORT ACCOUNT OF THEIR HISTORY AND CULTURE” is the result of his strenuous research work dedicated to the cause of unearthing that glorious chapter of Rohingya national history. In this work of historic importance, he not only gave a complete account of the coming or growth of Muslims in Arakan along with its socio-political and cultural background but also the impact that it created on the subsequent history of the Rohingya nation. Since this is the first book written in English by a reknown historian of the SubContinent, Arakan Historical Society, Bangladesh considers it an honour to publish this book and present it to the readers and researchers of Rohingya and Arakan, both at home and abroad.
