Had we thought of only cowardly expediency and convenience under the cynical guise of "practicality", Bangladesh won't be here today after the military-Islamist-PPP populist genocide of 1971. Millions of our people who found shelter, thanks to the generosity of our neighbors in West Bengal, Assam, Tripura and Mizoram -- themselves not at all well off -- won't be here today. We won't be here today if millions more didn't risk their lives, dignity and property to shelter and aid our Freedom Fighters also doing something perceived as "impractical".
Some of us believe in dying on our feet rather than living on our knees for the sake of that "practicality".

rightly said.
But in case of Bangladesh, our neighboring country knew that we would go back to our country. We were there for temporary reason cause we were fighting for our freedom, same thing goes to Palestine.
But in this case of Rohingya, they are fleeing away from their country. So, the chances of their return is very unlikely. They dont wanna go back to Burma. Hence the problem arises. Can we afford to give shelter and feed such big number of Rohingyas in Bangladesh knowing that they wont go back ? That's the question. If they were fighting for their freedom then it would make sense giving shelter but here they are refugees whose lives are in danger living in Burma.
