ROHINGYA ORIGIN IN 1430‐1784 MRAUK U CONTACT WITH INDIAN SEMATIC CIVILIZATION
1430 After 24 years Sultan Jalal uddin Khan sent "Wali Khan as the head of 20 thousand Pathan army" to
restore Noromikla to his throne. Noromikla takes the name Sulauman Shah and becomes the king.
1431 General Wali Khan removes Noromikla and rules Arakan as an independent Muslim ruler for
couple of years. He introduced Persian as the official language of Arakan. Noromikla escapes to Bengal
again.
1433 Nadir Shah sent General Sindhi Khan with 30,000 solders helped restore Noromi kla as the king.
This time Arakan becomes a province of Bengal. Wali Khan was killed in the battle and his followers
were allowed to settle near Kalander River. In return for the help, the Arakani king promised to return
the twelve towns of Bengal, which most likely be the the whole of southern Chittagong with perhaps
twelve small feuds then under Mogh rule. Arakan began to pay annual taxes and Persian began to be
used as the court language.
1433 Foundation of the Mrauk U dynasty in the city of Mrohaung near Lamro River. Mrohaung became a
populous sea port, "built on hillocks amid the rice plain and intersected by canals which served as
streets.” "Sindi Khan's followers settled in Mrohaung and its suburban areas. It was the beginning of a
large Rohingya community and culture in Arakan. During this time the neighbourhood of Mruak ‐U city's
South Eastern region named as Kalapanzan and a trading port named "Bandar" a Persian name meaning
port were populated by the Rohingyas. Some scholars believe that the name Rohingya derived from
"Mrohaung" the name of the city, and "gya" Chittagonian means natives was known to have been given
by Chittagonian Bengalis to the people who arrived to Chittagong from the direction of the "Mrohaung"
city. This can’t be true because, the name was a Burmese given to the Mruak ‐U city and the Rohingya
has its independent development.
