Everyone does except the neo liberal mostly upper caste elite of big indian cities that live in gated communities. They don't really care because they won't be on the receiving end of this 'cultural enrichment'. WB is a case in point.

Rohingyas also have a history of sectarian violence and pro Pakistan violence.

For all you Tarek Fatah fans in "RW" :
Precisely why I believe closet Adarsh Liberal types like him are more dangerous than Owaisi types.

Myanmar’s family planning law ‘targets Muslim population growth’
Foreign governments have cranked up pressure on Myanmar’s government to do more to prevent the exodus of the Rohingya, whom the UN describes as one of the world’s most persecuted minorities. The UN says thousands are stranded in the Bay of Bengal, abandoned by human traffickers.
In recent weeks, more than 3000 Rohingya as well as migrants from neighbouring Bangladesh have made their way to shore in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Rather than assuaging concerns of the Rohingya about their future in Myanmar, the Population Control Health Care Act is raising questions among rights activists about whether it will be used to limit population growth among Muslim communities — especially the Rohingya.
The legislation, which state media reported over the weekend after Mr Thein Sein signed it into law on Thursday, gives the state the right to institute what it calls “birth spacing,” mandating women to wait 36 months between one child birth and the next. It also gives regional governments the authority to adopt population control measures in their respective states, although the legislation does not provide for any punitive measures.
Human rights groups and health monitors say the government was already enforcing a two-child policy in parts of northern Rakhine state, where the Muslim population outweighs the Buddhist community, and fear the new law will make it easier to enforce birth control.
The measures were supported by hard-line Buddhist monks, who have been urging to the government to take stronger action to counter what they say is the growing influence of the country’s Muslim minorities, who tend to have more children than the country’s larger and wealthier Buddhist population.
Muslims officially make up around 4 per cent of Myanmar’s 51 million people, but some estimates put this figure closer to 10 per cent, and anti-Muslim sentiment has exploded since the country’s old military regime handed power to a nominally civilian government in 2011.
US Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in Yangon he had expressed his deep reservations about the legislation in meetings with Mr Thein Sein as well as the army’s commander-in-chief and other senior officials.
“We shared the concerns that these bills can exacerbate ethnic and religious divisions,” Mr Blinken said.
The population laws are part of a package of four laws designed to “protect race and religion,” its proponents said.
They were conceptualised and pushed forth by the extreme Buddhist Ma Ba Tha group, whose sermons have contributed to the rise of anti-Muslim sentiment that has left about 200 dead in communal riots since 2012.
The laws include one that would restrict interfaith marriage in Myanmar, particularly between Buddhist women and Muslim men. Activists who have spoken out against the laws since they were first floated in 2013 have found themselves threatened by monks and others.
One prominent activist, Zin Mar Aung, who spent 11 years as a political prisoner, said the laws were “very dangerous for Myanmar society” and galvanised support against them.
“It is the tyranny of the majority,” Ms Zin Mar Aung said.
“It is difficult for ordinary people to understand these laws, and difficult for us to touch this issue because it is being led by the religious community.”
The laws are likely to be felt most strongly in Rakhine State, where many Rohingya and Muslim minorities have large families.
Myanmar’s Rohingya already are denied citizenship and are largely confined to the remote west of the country.
Many people in Myanmar regard them as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, despite many tracing their ancestry in Myanmar back for generations.

this was the response of one other person to tarek on twitter (don't have the screenshot):
further quoting post of his:
Now put what this guy said in context with Arundhati Roy describing Modi Govt as "totalitarian" in a Pakistani newspaper.
In a recent video, Tarek Fatah said Indians hate Bangladeshis as they are a darker skinned people. I don't know why he chose to give it a racial/color angle when he himself knows that Bangladesh is going through radical Islamization. Most Indians detest them as they are bringing in demographic change and terrorism. Skin color is not the issue here at all.
He is trying to guilt trip Indians much like how he complains about West being guilt tripped into accepting Islamism. I find a stark contrast in his behavior here.

these scum don't deserve (and nor are they seeking) any reasonable discussions on any forum! their need is the best response that can be given to them - stomp them down head-to-toe with your verbal boots wherever and whenever you find them unloading their oral squalor, and give them an acute inferiority complex at their own game, royally!

India cannot solve her own problems with overpopulation,literacy,poverty etc. It is unthinkable that she can allow more refugees here. I think the Pope made an urge for all neighbouring countries to take in the stranded rohingyas.
Well I will only say that the Pope should be reminded of the teachings of his famous Bible about how charity begins at home. He is a clear hypocrite. He should give the rohingyas a shelter in his Vatican City before preaching Indians/Thais etc.

Wonder why their Muslim Ummah is not ready to accept them and here these "NGO" are bleeding heart.
Letting them settle here and later used as fodder for doing crime/riots and what not.

Owaisi type terrorists have got hold of Political power.
He openly said to remove police and he would butcher Hindus.He should have been sent to his 72 year old virgin or be in Kala Pani at least for life for such statements.
He is a "Zinnah" wannabe and would surely create another Pakistan out of India and instigate Muslims.
