  • AROUND MANDALAY You Cansnoopaboutpottery Factories
    © Lonely Planet Publications 276 Around Mandalay What puts Mandalay on most travellers’ maps looms outside its doors – former capitals with battered stupas and palace walls lost in palm-rimmed rice fields where locals scoot by in slow-moving horse carts. Most of it is easy day-trip potential. In Amarapura, for-hire rowboats drift by a three-quarter-mile teak-pole bridge used by hundreds of monks and fishers carrying their day’s catch home. At the canal-made island capital of Inwa (Ava), a flatbed ferry then a horse cart leads visitors to a handful of ancient sites surrounded by village life. In Mingun – a boat ride up the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) from Mandalay – steps lead up a battered stupa more massive than any other…and yet only a AROUND MANDALAY third finished. At one of Myanmar’s most religious destinations, Sagaing’s temple-studded hills offer room to explore, space to meditate and views of the Ayeyarwady. Further out of town, northwest of Mandalay in Sagaing District, are a couple of towns – real ones, the kind where wide-eyed locals sometimes slip into approving laughter at your mere presence – that require overnight stays. Four hours west of Mandalay, Monywa is near a carnivalesque pagoda and hundreds of cave temples carved from a buddha-shaped moun- tain; further east, Shwebo is further off the travelways, a stupa-filled town where Myanmar’s last dynasty kicked off; nearby is Kyaukmyaung, a riverside town devoted to pottery, where you can snoop about pottery factories.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is now my hope that the main results both Union and each of the State and Region reports will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national and sub-national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and officers at the State/Region, District and Township levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

  • Endgame in Burma 349
    Endgame in Burma 349 Chapter 10 Endgame in Burma: August 1944–15 August 1945 Introduction The dominant view is that after the Japanese defeat at Imphal and Kohima, the IJA as a potent combat instrument was finished and what followed was a mop- ping up operation by the victorious Commonwealth air-land forces. The reality was a bit more complex. The post-Imphal-Kohima period could be subdivided into three interrelated phases: the battles for Mandalay, and Meiktila and the race for Rangoon. The Japanese commanders named this struggle as the Battle of the Irrawaddy. As the British commanders prepared to pursue and defeat the retreating IJA in the aftermath of Imphal-Kohima, the former took stock of the military effectiveness of the forces at their disposal and their opponents. The first section of this chapter analyzes the combat effectiveness of the Commonwealth forces and its opponent. And the next two sections portray the nature of combat in central and south Burma. The last section, in order to put things in a global perspective, attempts an assessment of the scope and intensity of the Mandalay-Meiktila-Rangoon Campaign in comparison with the gargantuan battles of the Ostfront. Combat Effectiveness of the British and Indian Armies Williamson Murray writes that during war there is little time to understand the behaviour of the interactive, adaptive opponent. However, feedback from combat results can suggest some necessary adaptations only if the proper les- sons are identified and then learnt.1 The Commonwealth military organization attempted to initiate the above-mentioned process. In November 1944, Brigadier I.E.M.
