Those who were so "perturbed" about the plight of Rohingya are deafeningly silent about Hazaras. What is remarkable here is the fact that the Rohingya made an effort to seek independence and were actively involved in riots, while the Hazaras didn't. Moreover, Buddhists are killing Rohingya while Muslims are killing Hazara Muslims.
