First, They Erased Our Name: a Rohingya Speaks by Habiburahman, Sophie Ansel

Statelessness is a modern curse but it looks too small compared to prejudice.

The people who are hated for the otherness go through a lot of hardship and this one is an account of the same.

It is difficult to think of it as a story but more of a journal of a refugee. There are always perpetrators but the sad part is the people who lost their sympathy and their help comes with a price.

It was difficult to digest the stand of the peace politicians but we never know the full truth about a person or situation.

The other surprise was how this all stayed hidden and it took a mass exodus of half a million people to bring the word out that there is something wrong.

Unfortunately, this is not the last such instance. We will find a way to hate each other for one reason or the other. If not, someone will feed it to us.

Peace
