Rakhine
Madness Syndrome (RMS), formally known as Rakhine Paranoid Disorder (RPD) is an
anti-social or anti-Muslim or anti-
Rohingya
syndrome characterized by widespread violence and hatred towards socially and
religiously different groups of people, predominantly found in a human species
called Rakhine who mainly inhabiting in the western part of Burma or Myanmar.
Epidemiology:
According
to Madness Combat Society (MCS), 3 out of 5 Rakhine living in Arakan, Burma are
suffering some degree of RMS. The male to female ration is 100:1. It also
occurs with Rakhine residing outside the state plays a significant roles
spreading of endemic Rakhine Madness Syndrome. The syndrome spreads all across
seasons with incubation period of a week to months.
Etiology:
There
are a number of etiological factors that contribute initiating or spreading of
Rakhine Madness Syndrome. The followings are some of them;
-
Burmese Government
-
Pseudohistory
-
Cryptohistory
-
Separatism
-
Ultra-nationalism
-
Neo-Nazism
-
Buddhism
-
969 Extremism
-
Ethic-less Journalism
-
Natural resources
-
Miscellaneous
Cause:
The
main cause is still unknown. A theory suggests that there may be a genetic
mutation in Rakhine during the process of welcoming Buddhism as their main
religion through the western gate (border between Arakan and Indian
Subcontinent). It is known that Rakhine were predominantly atheists or animists
and there was a sudden defect on genes of Rakhine when they first experienced
the light of Buddhism which teaches peace, love and harmony. The theory
explains that Rakhine were unable to withstand the light causing spontaneous
mutation.
Presentation:
Mostly
of the time, the syndrome presents as asymptomatic, all other people of Burma
or foreigners often miss the syndrome considering Rakhine are the most social
or well-manner or caring Buddhists. The presentation of the syndrome is
significantly obvious in endemic period. During the incubation period, Rakhine
makes a story of Rohingya (a Muslim minority from Arakan) rapes or kills a
Rakhine girl or kills a Rakhine monk or burns a Rakhine house or Rohingya are
infiltrating from Bangladesh which with etiological factors ignite Rakhine
Madness Syndrome. The common presentations are the mad subject mobs:
-
burn Rohingya or Muslim houses and mosques
-
loot shops and properties,
-
kill old, young, men or women
-
rape hapless girls and women
-
force Rohingya or Muslim to move concentrated camps and block humanitarian
supports
-
get monetary aids from governments and NGOs to further build up the next
episode
-
control media and spread “They are protecting Buddhism, without them Buddhism
will
be
vanished!”
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis
involves the statistical evaluation of dispersed Rohingya or Muslim communities
within Arakan state.
Treatment:
Unfortunately,
there is no treatment for Rakhine Madness Syndrome. It is very challenging
treating RMS due to extreme level of “Egotism” and “Illusory Supremacy” than
the rest, especially Rohingya and Muslim in general.
Scientists
from Burma and overseas are currently experimenting “Interfaith Consultation”
which seems failing.
Prevention:
It
is highly advisable to avoid a longterm contact with the subjects as it is
extremely contagious and harmful for one’s safety during endemic and
asymptomatic periods.
The
safety of your family or house is not assured due to the lack of action or the
involvement of state police forces.
Madness
Combat Society (MCS) warns that Rakhine Madness Syndrome is becoming an
epidemic spreading the rest of Burma based on the recent statistics and
evidences.
