The UNHCR identified the Rohingya as ‘stateless refugees’ and ‘victims of genocide’ in Myanmar, their homeland, where they are not considered citizens. Bangladesh initially welcomed and resettled more than 1 million Rohingya in 2017; however, owing to a resource crisis, patience is now wearing thin. Bilateral talks between Bangladesh and Myanmar to repatriate the Rohingyas are yet to see the light of day. The article examines, in such a situation, how the Rohingyas perceive themselves. Do they consider themselves as stateless/non-citizens or, on the contrary, global citizens? It unveils the exclusion, counter resistance, and self-resilience of Rohingya refugees surviving in camps of Bangladesh, devoid of citizenship status. It critiques the classical understanding of citizenship through its analysis of the experiences of the Rohingyas.
