This book provides a history of the ethnic persecution of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and their disputed ethnic and national identity. It focuses on how the crisis has morphed into a geopolitical encounter among Bangladesh, China, India, and Myanmar. It further explores the moral, ethnographic, and public policy issues in the humanitarian response to the crisis of the Rohingya people. The volume analyzes the question of citizenship for the Rohingyas by analyzing historical documents and interviews which chronicle the status and identity of the community and their past involvement in the government and politics of Myanmar. The authors focus specifically on the changing geopolitical context of state formation in South Asia and the tense relationships between Myanmar and its neighbours - Bangladesh, China, and India. The book examines the alliances and disputes in the South and Southeast Asia region, which are predicated on economic and strategic gains, and their impact on the Rohingya crisis. It also looks at the failure of bilateral and multilateral negotiations among these countries to adequately address or alleviate the plight of the stateless Rohingyas. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of international studies, peace, human rights and conflict studies, sociology, ethnic studies, border studies, migration and diaspora studies, discrimination and exclusion studies, public policy, and Asian Studies. It will also be useful for professionals working in the media, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), think tanks, and policy makers, as well as general readers interested in the history of the persecution of the Rohingya people.

This book contains eight chapters include with references. Chapter one contains the description about the work. Chapter two contains literature survey. Chapter three describes lock stitch formation process. Chapter four contains preliminary investigation of the thesis work. Chapter five contains experimental details of the work. In this chapter a grading system is developed on the respect of some sewing properties. Chapter six contains discussion of results.Conclusion implies that both sewing thread count and SPI affect sewing quality. At present sewing thread count is selected according to the GSM, strength, length, uniformity, elasticity, etc of the fabric. Our research indicates that this approach of selecting sewing thread count is not appropriate. According to our research sewing thread must be selected giving due regards to the cover factor of both fabric as well as sewing thread. Cover factor of sewing thread is related to the count of sewing thread and SPI. Further research may be carried out to develop some mathematical relation so that the count of sewing thread can be worked out from the fabric constructional parameters.
