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.
