This panel hosted by the South Asia Center at NYU, Refugee Solidarity Network, CAORC and others aims to:

• Disentangle the the various myths and narratives around Rohingya identity and claims to Myanmar citizenship, especially in relation to Bengali/Bangladeshi identity

• Analyze the multilayered and often contradictory implications — for the Bangladeshi state, transnational actors, and various communities within its borders — of living in/hosting what is now apparently the world’s largest refugee camp

• Explore possibilities for moving forward, and the implications of the recent ICJ judgment

• Locate and contextualize the Rohingya expulsion in light of similar processes elsewhere in the postcolonial world, with particular attention to the implementation of the National Register of Citizens in Assam.

Speakers include Shireen Huq, Mabrur Ahmed, Zaid Hydari, Prashanta Tripura, and Rahima Begum. The panel will be moderated by Dina M. Siddiqi.
