Myanmar has a Buddhist majority. The Muslim minority in Myanmar mostly consists of the Rohingya people and the descendants of Muslim immigrants from India (including what is now Bangladesh) and China (the ancestors of Chinese Muslims in Myanmar came from the Yunnan province), as well as descendants of earlier Arab and Persian settlers. Indian Muslims
migrated to Burma during British rule to fill jobs in the expanding
economy, especially in clerical work and business. After independence,
many Muslims retained their previous positions and achieved prominence
in business and politics.
