  • Text and Context: Another Look at Burmese Days
    SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research, Vol. 3, No. 1, Spring 2005, ISSN 1479-8484 TEXT AND CONTEXT: ANOTHER LOOK AT BURMESE DAYS Stephen L. Keck National University of Singapore Students of colonial Burma inevitably turn to Burmese Days. The frequent pedagogical use of George Orwell’s (1903-1950) novel has meant that the text has become a part of the mythology of imperial experience not only for Burma, but for the British Empire as a whole.1 In fact, it is also possibly the most widely read book involving Southeast Asia. Burmese Days is often assigned to complement general service courses in world history, literature and political science. Since these classes aim to introduce students to liberal arts--less modestly referred to as `the humanities’-- they are basic staples of American university education. This means that thousands--if not tens of thousands--of students encounter the novel each year. In addition, Burmese Days is often assigned with texts such as Edward Said’s Orientalism and Kipling’s Kim in higher level courses which focus upon European imperialism or the British Empire. The novel’s popularity, naturally, is not confined to the United States. While the number of British students who are forced to read Orwell cannot match the mass dragooning of freshmen and sophomores which takes place across the Atlantic, it is clear that in Britain Burmese Days remains as one of the essential novels of the 20th century. With respect to Southeast Asia, it is also clear that a healthy number of Singapore undergraduates have read the novel before they matriculate; some even manage to encounter it during the course of study at the National University of Singapore.

  • Two Compilers of Myanmar History and Their Chronicles
    Two Compilers of Myanmar History and their Chronicles Thaw Kaung* Introduction From about the second or third decade of the 18th century to mid- 19th century, a profusion of historical works were compiled in Myanmar. It was the great age of Myanmar historical writing. Myint Swe1 lists (9) works for the late 18th century and (12) works for the early 19th century. Victor Lieberman, in a fascinating new book2, has also written of the popularization of historical and legal texts in Myanmar from around 1711. With cultural integration in early 18th century Myanmar, there was wider literacy, and laymen, not monks, began to dominate the transmission of information scene. The first real chronicle of Myanmar was written in prose by U Kala (c. 1678–1738), the Maha Yazawin- daw-gyi (The Great Chronicle)3, probably in the third decade of the 18th century. To cite Victor Lieberman ''After U Kala came a rain of [imperial] chronicles'' including both private and official histories, by laymen as well as monks4.

  • The Uses of Buddhism in Wartime Burma
    THE USES OF BUDDHISM IN WARTIME BURMA By DOROTHY GUYOT WORLD WAR II HAS FORMED AN EPISODE IN BURMESE HISTORY OF unprecedented change. Short term changes-the precipitate defeat of the British or the destruction of the world rice market-materially affected Burma for the next ten years. Other irreversible changes, such as the mobilization of youth, the sudden availability of guns, the birth of the Communist Party, have shaped Burmese politics ever since the war. It is remarkable that an episode which recast the fundamentals of political and economic life should have left Buddhism unchanged. The combined ef- forts of Japanese militarists and Burmese nationalists to utilize Buddhism for their own ends merely rippled the surface of the religion, as wind upon water. When the storm of war had passed, Buddhism flowed back to its, accustomed tranquility. At the center of Burmese Buddhism are the monks, or pongyis. These men have. dedicated themselves to seeking the transcendent goal of all moral development, nirvana. They serve the lay community first as living examples of the way to escape worldly suffering and second by pro- viding opportunity for each layman to build his own store of merit through performing good deeds on their behalf. Since a pongyi is not a shepherd to a flock, he is not directly involved in the suffering which a war brings. In times of social upheaval the monkhood, or sangha, continues to hold open its door to all who wish to escape the turmoil but does not confront the disruptors. By thus sheltering men, the sangha shelters itself from change.

(hereafter, “YTTC”), an affiliate of Ayeyar Hinthar Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereafter, “Ayeyar Hinthar”), Myanmar’s leading company group, have obtained local investment permission and launched a large-scale complex development project in the center of Yangon, Myanmar. The project itself is for development of a large-scale complex involving new development and operation of a high-grade office building, commercial facilities and a hotel on the former site of the military museum (approximately 16,000 m2) located in the center of Yangon, scheduled for completion in 2020. The total floor space is approximately 92,000 m2 and the maximum total cost is expected to reach around USD332.5 million (around JPY37.7 billion). The project site is located at the intersection of Shwedagon Pagoda Road and U Wisara Road close to Yangon Central Railway Station and enjoys a high scarcity value. Being relatively close to Shwedagon Pagoda, a symbol of Myanmar, the area is expected to further develop in the future as the center of business, commerce and tourism not only for Yangon, but for all of Myanmar.

  • Trend of Sangha's Administration in the Union of Myanmar in the Next
    Trend of Sangha’s Administration in the Union of Myanmar in the Next Decade Dr. Phra Seng Hurng Director, International Relations Division, Office of Rector Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University,Thailand Abstract This research is to analyze trend of Sangha’s administration in the Union of Myanmar in the next decade and to study the Sangha administration system of the country. Furthermore, it also supposed to examine the social evidences to understand how importance monks’ role is in Buddhist society which is based on observation research methodology and documentary research method also would apply as necessarily. It also supposes to study the main reason of setting up Sangha administration, Sanghamahanayaka Committee, in Myanmar and how this administra- tion system is affected to the Sanghaand its relation to the state from the ancient to the present time. Correspondents have often asked what has been the influence of Buddhism on the people of this country. To really evaluate the effect of Buddhism on the people of Burma, one would have to turn back to its historical emerge of Buddhism. It also would be useful to concern the pre-Buddhist culture of the country to exactly know the affection of Buddhism. Keywords: Sangha’s Administration, Myanmar, Next Decade Introduction Monks, particularly the younger generation, became more aware of their strength and responsibility for the country. In Myanmar most in- dependent activity is suppressed or under strict control of the state. The monkhood, in contrast, enjoys a high level of immunity and freedom, for instance, with regard to freedom of movement or various social actives, mostly in the local area.
