Survey
4- SNS is a platform to showcase their problem
During the survey when I asked about if they are
using SNS to share their problem to the world, they simply replied “yes”. More
than three quarters of the surveyed Rohingya men strongly agree that they use
SNS to showcase their problem.
5- Smart Phones are only access for them to use SNS
The survey results show that rather than computer,
laptop and any other electronic devices Rohingya use android phone to operate
SNS. For example, most of them are using Samsung cell phone. My survey
indicates that they can afford android mobile phones to communicate. And mostly
they use phone to check SNS.
6-SNS takes them to their own people living away
from them
In addition to finding their attitude towards SNS, I
also find out the reason of using SNS. They use SNS to know about the situation
of their country. They spend less an hour a day on internet to use SNS. They
mostly talk to their fellow citizen living in different part of the world. They
think SNS is easy way to keep connected with their people. Though they can’t
get back to their own country, they watch it through SNS.
7- SNS has both the positive and negative effects on
them
I found them, saying they do keep discussing about
the posts, pictures, and videos with their friends, family members, and wife.
They even showed picture of burnt houses, killed men and rapped women. This is
how the Rohingya Muslim woman who doesn’t know how to use SNS, who doesn’t have
account on SNS knows so many incidences in Myanmar. They tell us like they had
seen those horrific riots at far way land. Due to which they don’t want to get
back to their country. The positive aspect is that it helps them to connect
their people away from Nepal.
8- SNS is a help for Rohingya than a threat
The data suggest that SNS is a friend to them not a
foe. They take it as a fundamental way to see things away from their capacity.
Some of them also embedded their answer to express that they are the source of
threat as well. They think getting exposed to atrocity in Rakhine state gives
them a feeling, getting back to place is dangerous. When they find people
sharing that frightful bustle on internet, despite its efficacy it also can be
a source of the threat. Albeit it’s in a lesser degree, we shouldn’t be blunt
on its effect on them. Indeed there is no doubt on SNS is a help for them as it helps them to communicate to their
people, know what’s happening in the world specially among with the refugees
like them and problem their country is currently facing. But when they keep
sharing and updating on the bustle and riot at their country they will be
reluctant to get back to the country which can be very worst to our country. In
my survey when I talked to women even though they weren’t part of my survey
seems to be very well informed about complication at their country. They told
that they knew it from SNS as their husband showed them the grim picture coming
from their country on internet. Due to this they are discouraged to go back to
their place. So it is a source of threat too.
9- SNS is a problem solver
They believe SNS can solve their problem as they
believe with the use of SNS they can reach to the people of the world. They are
hopeful a large number would take interest on them if their problem comes on
SNS. They are not optimistic about getting help to settle down the matter they
have at Myanmar but they think today they are staying easily in Nepali land and
can move to Bangladesh and India because of SNS. So SNS is a problem solver to
them for temporary matter like staying in foreign land, and getting sympathetic
attention from the people. One of them also said that SNS helps to grab the
attention of people like me who comes to study in their community.
