Photos are the most powerful way to know about history and historical moment. A photojournalist captures the genuine picture which tells us the authentic story of a past incident. Md. Sanaul Haque, a photographer based in Bangladesh, has pulled off this tough job so effortlessly in his book Rohingya Alokchitro. This is a pictorial book. In this book, some photos are displayed which were captured during the Rohingya influx in Bangladesh. Rohingya issue is not only a problem of Bangladesh but also an international problem which must be solved with the help of international community.
This book would be preserved as a document of the horrific historic moment of mankind when thousands of Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh due to its atrocities, gross human rights violations, crimes against humanity and staggering brutality of the Myanmar security forces against ethnic Rohingya Muslims.

Sanaul Haque is a renowned photographer of Bangladesh, who has covered wide ranges of issues including political upheavals, natural disasters, climate changes and many other national and international crises.
