  • The Political Conditions During Bagan Period Dr.Sandar Win Abstract

    The Political Conditions During Bagan Period Dr.Sandar Win Abstract

    1 The Political Conditions During Bagan Period Dr.Sandar Win* Abstract Bagan reached to the status of the “State” in the 11th century during the reign of King Anawrahta by passing through the status of the various levels of districts and taiks in the emergence of Bagan Empire. Bagan Empire was ruled by the successive Kings since the reign of Aniruddha (a) Anawrahta. In the relations with the neighbouring countries during Bagan period, there were relations also with India and Ceylon. In the diplomatic relations, the Chinese (Mongols) had launched three aggressive wars against Bagan during the reign of King Nara Thiha Pate. Shin Disapramok stone inscription was inscribed because he was sent an Envoy and could settele the matter successfully. In the inscription, it contained six methods of diplomacy. Although Bagan Kings were autocratic, they ruled in accordance with the ten precepts incumbent on a King. At the end of the 13th century, the administrative power fell into the hand of the three Shan brothers and the Bagan Empire had collapsed. Keywords: Bagan Empire, Anawrahta, autocratic Introduction Bagan was the first empire of Myanmar. The culture and architecture of Bagan could be seen until nowadays. Furthermore, Bagan period was an important period according to political, economic, religion and culture. Pyus were strong in the central Myanmar prior to Myanmars. But the Pyus became weak because the Nan Chou destroyed the Pyu Capital in A.D.832. At the time when there was no strong and powerful people in Central Myanmar, Myanmar took position. Myanmar people expanded to invade from the district to the division and division to the State.

Many place names were either given new spellings to correct British mistransliterations or replaced by their pre-colonial era names. For example Pagan was replaced by Bagan, Rangoon by Yangon, and Maymyo by Pyin 00 Lwin. However, these new names are not widely used outside (or, for some, inside) the country, and most recent literature has retained the old names and spellings. Hence, to avoid confusion, the old names and spellings will also be retained in this text (including the terms "Burma," "Burman," and "Burmese"). It should be noted that specialists on Burma make an important distinction between "Burman" and "Burmese.

    Imagining the Buddhist Ecumene in Myanmar: How Buddhist Paradigms Dictate Belonging in Contemporary Myanmar

    Imagining the Buddhist Ecumene in Myanmar: How Buddhist Paradigms Dictate Belonging in Contemporary Myanmar Daniel P. Murphree A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies: Southeast Asia University of Washington 2017 Committee: Laurie J. Sears Jenna M. Grant Timothy J. Lenz Program Authorized to Offer Degree: The Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2017 Daniel P. Murphree University of Washington Abstract Imagining the Buddhist Ecumene in Myanmar: How Buddhist Paradigms Dictate Belonging in Contemporary Myanmar Daniel P. Murphree Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Walker Family Endowed Professor in History Laurie Sears Department of History This paper argues that the model of an “Ecumene” will aid external interpretation of the Myanmar political process, including the beliefs of its leaders and constituents, the Bamar. Myanmar as Ecumene better articulates Bama constructions of society, including governance, in that it resituates the political process as a Buddhist enterprise, shifting “Buddhist nationalism” to an imagined “Nation of Buddhists.” It also provides the rational for othering of religious minorities, such as the Muslim Rohingya or the Christian Chin. Utilizing ethnographic, historical, and textual source material, I show how the Bamar of Myanmar understand their relationship with the State, with one another, and with minority groups primarily through Buddhist modes of kingship and belonging. The right to rule is negotiated through the concept of “moral authority.” This dhamma sphere exists as a space to contest power legitimation, but requires the use of Buddhist textual and historical concepts provided in the dhammarāja or Cakkavattin model of Buddhist kingship, The Ten Virtues, the Jātakas, and the historical figures of Aśoka and Anawrahta.
  • The Changing Food Culture of Anauk Phwa Saw, Bagan After Natural Disaster

    The Changing Food Culture of Anauk Phwa Saw, Bagan After Natural Disaster

    1 The Changing Food Culture of Anauk Phwa Saw, Bagan After Natural Disaster Mya Mya Khin Professor and Head of Department of Anthropology Yangon University 1 ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the changes of the food and culture practiced by the Anauk (West) Phwa Saw villagers in relation to disasters. It was chosen for this study due to its local population; in contrast to many parts of the Bagan-Nyaung U area affected by new foods introduced through tourism, West Phwa Saw has retained its traditional way of life. Natural disasters and food availability have nonetheless altered the diet of the past. The study highlights the historical main food staples and their availability. In doing so, the paper shows the significance of food change in the stability of village customs. The research documented main factors stimulating food and culture change and the effect on local food practice. The study is of Anauk Phwa Saw village but the processes of change are also relevant in understanding the relationship of the many villages at Bagan to the central administration – whether the Township office today or the ancient court of kings such as Anawrahta and Narapatisithu. Keywords: Food, Food Culture, Disaster, Culture change Figure 1. Common snack of jaggery and peanuts 1. Introduction This main factor stimulating food change is availability, with social processes showing how local people adapted and accepted this. One tactic has been to change their main dish periodically when external causes forced substitution not just of side dishes but their staple food. Looking at these changes through cultural and anthropological perspectives rather than solely economic ones has shown how traditional food culture is central to many aspects of the intangible cultural heritage.
