So you believe in Gospel Truth .. I never claim that i am telling the truth
In the English Language, it means 'unquestionable truth'. I thiught you would be aware of such idioms.
However, since you asked, yes, I believed it earlier. Now I don't. Hopefully, that helps your curiosity.
Its the Burmese military junta which is denying them citizens status and the same is being followed by the new democratic government .
Well, there were no military Govt during WW II and even afterwards till n 1962 when General Ne Win led a coup d'état and established a socialist military government, whatever that means.
The simple fact, that is universally known, is that the Bamar people never recognised any others to be of Burma.
The following are recognised as major ethnic groups in Burma by the Govt of Burma.
Kachin
Kayah
Kayin
Chin
Mon
Bamar
Rakhine
Shan
However, the
Burmese Chinese and Panthay (Chinese Muslims), Burmese Indians, Rohingya, Anglo-Burmese and Gurkha are not recognised as ethnic groups of Burma by the Govt of Burma.
Talk here is about people of Indian origin who were living in Rangoon during the exile of Bahadur Shah Zafar . We know about Indian origin people in Rangoon because of Bahadur Shah Zafar exile and Grave .40% to 50% population of Rangoon was of Indian origin people .
You may know of Indians living in Burma because of Bhadur Shah Zaffar, but please do not assume that others know of it because of that.
It is time you read novels of Sarat Chandra Chattapadhyaya to realise the history of Indians in Burma through his novels.
The Burmese Indian community emigrated to Burma from the start of British rule in the mid 19th century to the separation of British Burma from British India in 1937.
It might be of interest to inform that the Burmese Indians are largely barred from the civil service and military and are disenfranchised by being labeled as 'foreigners' and 'non-citizens' of Burma.
History indicates that there were a series of anti Indian riots in Burma in the 1930s and also the mass immigration to India of Indian Burmese during the Japanese occupation.
The last of the Indian exodus occurred during 1962, when they were forced out.
Thanks . the present Bengalis and Madrasis are even called as Rohingyas . So you still doesnt consider all of them Indian ?
It is no idea to force a point that is not true.
No Indian of Burmese or any category would find to be called Rohingyas because there is no connection culturally or linguistically to the people of the Arakan.
It is time to realise the reality and not spin your fantasies, if I may say so.
Burmese are themselves mixture of many different nations and tribes who are fighting with each other since decades
The earliest inhabitants of recorded history were the Pyu who entered the Irrawaddy valley from Yunnan.
The Mons. basically came from Thaland and established themselves in the South.
Tthe Mranma (Burmans or Bamar) of the Nanzhao Kingdom, entered the upper Irrawaddy valley in the early 9th century. They went on to establish the Pagan Empire.
The Shans, who came down with the Mongols, stayed and quickly came to dominate much of northern to eastern arc of Burma
The Jingpo or the Kachin are said to have come from Arunachal.
All are recognised as ethnic Groups of Burma.
The Burmese Indian, Rohingyas and some others are NOT recognised as ethnic groups of Burma by the Burmese Govt or the Burmese people.
And they are not so ignorant not to know the difference between people of Indian origin and Rohingyas!
only in case of Rohingyas, Burmese Hindus and even Malays
It may not been convenient for you not to see the maps.
Check the extent of the Mauryan Kingdom. It goes beyond Afghanistan.
Check the extent of the Chola Empire. It goes into Indonesia.
Surely, they don't call themselves Indians. Do they?
Why obfuscate and attempt to circumvent issues to prove a point that is unprovable when the facts stare in your face?
they havnt forget the glorious past .. When all the nations are uniting themselves in the name of Slavic nations, European nations, Nordic Nations. Baltic Nations, Arab nations, Iranian tribes , Turkic tribes . then Why cant Indian tribes ?
I am sure they do exult over their Indian origin and that is why the destroy with total religious glee the Bamiyan Buddhas!
Slavic nations, European nations, Nordic Nations. Baltic Nations, Arab nations, Iranian tribes , Turkic tribes are uniting?
Are they all one nation in each of the groups that you mention?
Further, have the Turks and Kurds united? Have the Kurds themselves united because they still are separate in Turkey, Iraq and Syria. Have you some news that they are a new Nation?
