He wrote about Burma in a novel, Burmese Days, and a number of non-fictional writings. This essay considers the nature of the law-and-order regime Orwell served in Burma, especially in the light of racial self-interest and Britain’s commitment to the principle of the rule of law, and traces the issues of race and the law to his last novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four.

I welcome you to the magnum opus of this year’s PMUNC, The JCC: East Pakistan Crisis. My name is Prateek Swain and I will be your chair for the India committee. First, I’ll introduce myself; I will be starting my sophomore year at Princeton and will be majoring in Economics or Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy (depending on my mood when I have to declare) with a certificate in computer science. I have been debating as well as participating/chairing MUNs since my sophomore year of high school, and have carried on with these endeavors in college. Last year I was the Director for the Korean Reunification Committee at PMUNC, so I’m naturally extremely excited to be chairing this committee and have full faith that it will be a great experience for both you and me. This is certainly not my first crisis, but perhaps the one closest to my heart. Last semester, I took one of those eye opening classes at Princeton on Human Rights with Rebecca (Chair of the Pakistan committee) which set the foundation for this JCC to come into existence. -
Buddhism in the Late Konbaung Period(1819-1885)
BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) PhD DISSERTATION KO KO NAING DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF MANDALAY MYANMAR JUNE, 2010 BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) University of Mandalay BUDDHISM IN THE LATE KONBAUNG PERIOD(1819-1885) A Dissertation Submitted to the University of Mandalay In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History Department of History Ko Ko Naing 4 PhD(R)-Hist-22 Mandalay, Myanmar June, 2010 ABSTRACT This paper is an analysis of Buddhism in the late Konbaung Period. How Buddhism was introduced into Myanmar is discussed. How the Myanmars professed a mixture of Buddhism and their traditional beliefs is explained. Among the seven kings who supported the Religion in Myanmar, two—Kings Badon and Mindon—reigned in the late Konbaung Period. King Badon’s personal views and progressive ideas concerning the Religion are touched upon. How the kings purified the Religion partly to facilitate their rule is discussed. The monks formed separate sects in the late Konbaung period even though they did not differ from one another in robes, literature, doctrine or goal. However, the kings’ support was important for a sect to stand on its own. In the late Konbaung Period, the Fifth Buddhist Synod, which was the first Buddhist Synod held in Myanmar, was convened. That the Buddhist synod convened by King Mindon was not necessary for the Religion and that he convened it only to defy the British who had annexed Lower Myanmar and to assume the title Pyinsama Thangayanatin Mintaya (the Convener of the Fifth Buddhist Synod) are discussed. -

Burmese Days Revisited
Burmese Days revisited Photographs and text by Julio Etchart To coincide with the 75th anniversary of the publication of George Orwell’s famous first novel, Burmese Days, I went to follow the thread of his story by documenting the original locations in present day Myanmar. To retain the historical ‘feeling’ of the story, some of the photographs have been manipulated by giving them a sepia and pinhole camera treatment. Orwell spent five years from 1922 to 1927 as a police officer in the Indian Imperial Police force in Burma (now Myanmar). Burma had become part of the British Empire during the nineteenth century as a province of British India. Among its exports, the country produced 75% of the world's teak from up-country forests. The destruction of the rain forest, started by the British, carries on at an alarming rate, though nowadays the main consumer is China, whose insatiable demand for raw materials fuels the deforestation of the countryside. I witnessed this at the harbour of the ancient city of Mandalay, immortalized by Kipling’s famous poem, where I photographed the constant loading of huge beams of hardwoods unto boats of all sizes. The Raj is long gone - the country achieved its independence in 1947 - but it has been subsequently substituted by one of the most vicious dictatorships on earth. Orwell served in a number of locations throughout the country. It was Katha - the fictional district of Kyauktada - with its luxuriant vegetation, described by him with relish, that provided the physical setting for the novel. It was his experience in this isolated outpost that inspired him to write the book, first published 75 years ago. -

Kozak: George Orwell and Burma George Orwell and Burma by Kathy Kozak (Honors English 103) The Assignment: Research a topic suggested by the themes and topics found in 1984. (Students invited to explore the literary, psychological, political, historic, religious, sociological, etc.) ometimes there are decisions that we make that define our lives in unexpected and important ways. These decisions are often made when we are too young to fully S comprehend the impact they will have on our lives. When George Orwell was a young man he made such a decision. He decided not to pursue higher learning after he graduated from Eton in June, 1921, and chose instead to become a policeman for the British Empire (Bowker 72). His years spent in Burma were probably not as romantic as his young heart had hoped for, but they were undoubtedly an unexpected education that would color many of the words he would write throughout his life. It was high noon in the British Empire when George Orwell was born in June, 1903. -
