The Rakhine or Arakan built up their own country 5000 years ago and the kingdom was declined as Burmese occupied the Country without declaration war in AD 1784 .Since then, The Rakhine becomes one of the Burma State. In Maruk U period ,Buddhist kingdom of Arakan became one of the most powerful in Southeast Asia.
