Sharing a status in comment [in bengali] that expresses more or less the current feeling toward Burmese refuge takers in BD. All negative. And this reversal of opinion came after hosting them for just 2 years.
This attitude isn't new, and anywhere you go to take a shelter you will meet the same from locals. And this is exactly the same emotion the Europeans are showing towards BD refuge takers there.
Sheltering someone requires BIG sacrifice from the host. And you will always find the people you extend your helping hand as "ungrateful". The only thing that still makes it work is the selfless, exceptional and extreme politeness of the host. How much of that a nation holds, is something of a subject of study.
All these reminds me is the Ansar and Muhajirs of the Arabs. Arab Ansars are now lost over time. Muhajirs are the majority. Extreme politeness that I talked of might wipe you off. But that's still extreme politeness. May Allah forgive them all.
People that can't tolerate history trend to deny them. I don't. Rather I try to take lesson from the people of our past.
