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 Sub-Continent 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 renown historian of the Sub-Continent, 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.
