 The Rakhaines of the coastal areas of Patuakhali, Borguna and Cox's Bazar migrated to what is now Bangladesh from Burma about two hundred years ago and turned the uncultivable deep forests of the coastal belt into a habitable area.Mustafa Majid informs that the Rakhaines are Mongoloid who have many problems including tyranny by the mainstream population, but being peace-loving they never choose to go for a protest or struggle.However, some have left the country in search of security.
