EXPLAINATION FOR THE CLAUSE ' I AM THE ONE WHO WAS BORN IN ARAKAN SO I AM ARAKANTHAR'

This is good statement but need to clarify a bit more. Being Rakine Thar can be explained by so many ways, for instance, land and blood law sometime we know in our culture as Rakhita and Rakhawantha ideologies. I assume that Rakhita is law of blood and Rakhawantha is law of land in which the first means just rakhine blood can bring one to become real rakhine wherever s/he born, and the latter means everyone can become rakhine if they were born in Rakhine Pray whatever their parents are. Your statement can be the same to the latter one. Therefore if one English man was born in Arakan, s/he can claim as Rakhinthar eventhough his or her family derived from English blood line. Moreover according to your statement, everyone like Burmese, Kulars and every ethnics can become Rakhinthar because of their birth place in Arakan. It is no need to deny whether to accept your statement or not. But in my opinion, being Arakanese should be only define as one's blood line rather than birth of place. So if I was born in England rather than in Arakan and if both of my parents are Arakanese, I should have rights to claim that I am real Arakanese. However, nowadays most countries in the world recognize their citizens according to both law of blood and law of land. As a result of that, if some one born in Arakan but their parents aren't not real Arakanese cannot become Arakanese (Rakhinethar)but can become Citizen of Arakan(Rakhin Pray Thar). You should look at very carefully the distinction between being Rakhinethar and Rakhine Pray thar. I hope you will find out the difference between them. To sum up, being rakhinethar and rakhinepraythar is not really important in reality, just their commuity spirits to contribute their society in order to achieve particular social improvement is vital one. Tar!
