In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. My salutation is also to our Prophet Muhammad sallal-Iahu alayhi wa sallam (S) [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]. Civilization is often measured in terms of arts and literature and never in terms of might or strength of a nation to subdue other nations. That is why, we never hear about Hun, Scythian and Mongol civilization, despite the fact that savages of the past like Attila the Hun (the barbarian), Genghis Khan and Hulagu Khan were able to terrorize millions and kill hundreds of thousands of people and control vast territories. Fortunately, from very early on wherever Islam made an inroad it was able to either refine indigenous civilization of a nation that was already enjoying a certain level of civilization, or civilize a people that was hitherto drowned in savagery. That is why, it is not difficult to fathom why for nearly a thousand years (7th-17th century C.E. or 1st-11th century A.H.) while most of the European nations were sunk in savagery, Muslim nations in Asia, Africa and Moorish Spain were enjoying fruits of such a lofty civilization that was simply superb. Muslim nations were, therefore, able to breed a multitude of great scientists, philosophers, doctors, mathematicians, astronomers, social scientists, geographers, historians, writers, poets, novelists, linguists, artists and humorists. Nasreddin Hodja (Hoca in Turkish: the letter c is pronounced as dj ) was one such Muslim humorist from Turkey (in the 13th century CE), a county not known for arts and literature in the era that preceded Islam.

The Volume 1. The Rakhaing Revolution (ISBN 13: 978-1928840-09-1) deals with the strategic problems of the decolonization of Burma (Myanmar). The author asserts that the recognition of the Rohingya rights is a part of the decolonization of Myanmar. In the 2014 Myanmar census more than 1.3 million identified themselves Rohingya. The self-identification is a birthright that every human has. Nevertheless, the Myanmar authorities did not accept their identity Rohingya and excluded them from the 2014 census. The Myanmar authorities announced that the Rohingya will be included in the census only if the Rohingya accept the identity Bengali. The Myanmar government labeled them illegal Bengali immigrants. The Rohingya, more than one million, claim that they are the indigenous to Arakan. They defy the injustice and brave to live a stateless life in the concentration camps or in the open prisons. Now they are known as the 'internally displaced persons' or IDP. Keeping this in mind, the author explores the Rohingya issues various angles that includes the followings- 1. The 'out-of-Africa' human migration. 2. The population genetics 3. The Anthropological approach 4. The history 5. The traditions 6. The historical materialism 7. The politics 8. The human rights 9.
