PKK/PYD forces Arabs to fight Daesh in Syria: Witnesses

I will give you examples, from the book; but tomorrow. It is daunting to think of going into unfurnished rooms and rummaging through books piled up on the floor. And it was emphatically not confined to the Indian sub-continent; in fact, some of the communities here were thoroughly integrated into the local people and into local society around them.

Ask any south Indian member the meaning of 'mapillai', the origin of the word Moplah.
Ill ask but then what,the ''Rohingyas'' are unique?

No, no. They were just one more community; there has been a lot of Bangladeshi propaganda about them; they were not among the early settlers, but were immigrants of a fairly late vintage, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries at the earliest. They keep conflating their own status with that of the earlier Muslim segments of the local Myanmarese population; by 'earlier Muslim segments', I mean both those descended from foreign stock, and those converted from local families. The Rohingyas were identified as a separate community pretty late in the day; the lack of evidence of their existence earlier than two centuries ago seems to indicate that they came in during this period. Before the name Rohingya came into vogue, they were known as Chittagonians (from the famous port at Chittagong) or as Bengalis.

Didnt we agree on the fact that it is a political movement from Bengali settlers(post 10)?
I have read the whole thing you know.
With unique i meant,there is no other community of Muslim settlers keeping themselves seperated from the indigenous population.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your 'unique' comment. Yes, that is exactly correct.

[Later]

I'm so glad you read it; what I really hate is the sort of conversation that is frequently to be seen, where I am talking to people who won't budge a millimetre to verify facts for themselves, or who will not go to the references and the sources of information about a particular matter. In those cases, I might have done my homework thoroughly, but have to pause at every step, every sentence, to transmit information to the other discussing member in that discussion.

What a pleasant feeling to be in the well-contented position of being told the facts of any case with authority and couched in simple, clear language.
 
As for being the only settlement isolated from the general population, let me add to it (but, of course, you are referring to the Indian sub-continent) if I can, legitimately. Give me fifteen minutes?
We respect the elderly,ill give you 30 minutes( :sarcastic::sarcastic::sarcastic: ).

@Joe Shearer , it is great you keep this educational thread seen to people other than yourself but better no off-topic.

I do beg your pardon.

@T-123456

Perhaps you could open a thread elsewhere? I will have traced the other cases by then.
