It's a miserable existence for the Rohingya community in Delhi. "We have no home, no country and no nationality," they say
They live in India’s national capital New Delhi but have no access to even basic facilities like sanitation or drinking water. For the Rohingya community who fled the atrocities in Myanmar in the hopes for a better life in India, the Union home ministry’s assertions that they are illegal migrants and not refugees, and therefore ineligible for allotment of flats meant for refugees in Delhi, has only left them feeling more dispirited.
The community who lives in a camp at southeast Delhi’s Madanpur Khadar area appears resigned to a life of indignity and lacks. Over 50 families who occupy tents here have suffered the vagaries of Delhi’s heat, cold and rain with barely a roof over their heads.
