That nice of her. It is great that she can seek material improvements to her livelihood. Maybe Japan should be fair and let more of the 2 million Rohingya and 173 million Bangladesh people also improve the livelihood in Japan.

The Rohingyas are originally from Bangladesh and speak the language.
Being back in Bangladesh should not have been a hardship.
However, there is not much oppportunity to earn money in Bangladesh hence the desire to live in Japan.

Approximately two hundred Rohingya are living in Japan, and about ninety percent of them live in Gunma.
A very small number.

In living memory, all these peoples lived in peace within the Raj: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma, all under the care and protection of the King-Emperor. Good times.

The population of Gunma is 2 million, the 190 Rohingya are 0.009%.

The Rohingya are from Myanmar. There were their own kingdom until the British colonists crushed them. They had a degree of autonomy after Burma gained independence but in the past decade they have been subject to a genocide led by militant Buddhist monks and the Burmese Army seeking to exterminate Muslims. Many fled to Bangladesh to escape death at the hands of the Burmese Army but they are not originally from Bangladesh nor do they speak their language. The Rohingya have their own language.

Actually, the Rohinghya were close friends of the British, and benefitted from British rule (the British favoured them over the Buddhists, who tended to less enamoured of the Raj). The Rohingya were also persecuted by the Japanese during the war for their loyalty to Britain (the Buddhists tended to favour the Japanese invaders).
The kingdom of Arakan (presumably the Rohingya kingdom you refer to) was crushed by the Burmese in 1784, who then ceded it to the British in 1826. Do you have any evidence that the British ever crushed the Rohingya?
