These old identity documents are more than fragile pieces of paper; they are valuable records of Rohingya history, identity, and heritage. Their faded ink, official stamps, and worn pages carry traces of our ancestors’ lives and their connection to Myanmar. Through documentary photography, we preserve these historical records, making them visible to the world and ensuring that future generations can learn about, understand, and remember our past. Every document holds a piece of our story, and every photograph helps keep that story alive. #RohingyaHistory #RohingyaIdentity #DocumentaryPhotography #PreserveOurHistory #RohingyaPhotographicSociety Mohammad Ayaz
