  • Islam in Myanmar – Research Notes Imtiyaz Yusuf
    82 Islam in Myanmar – Research Notes Imtiyaz Yusuf Myanmar is a non-secular Buddhist majority country. The Theravada Buddhists and Christians are the two main religious communities groups in Myanmar with the Muslims being the third, enumerated population of Burma tells that, Buddhists make up 89.8 percent of the population, Christians 6.3 percent and Muslims 2.3 percent. The Burmese Muslim community is largely a community of traders and ulama who are economically well but with poor levels of human resources development in the professional fields of education, science, engineering, medicine, technology and business management. Yet, there are several prominent law specialists among them. As a hard and a difficult country, Myanmar was born out of the ashes of the murder of its integrationist freedom fighter leader General Aung San, the father of Aung San Suu Kyi, he was assassinated on 19 July 1947 a few months before the independence of Burma on 4 January 1948. His legacy of seeking integration and the legacy of violence associated with his murder alludes Myanmar until today. In its 69 years of existence, Myanmar is dominated politically by the Bamar Buddhist majority which espouses a Bamar racist interpretation of Buddhism. The Bamar and other 135 distinct ethnic groups are officially grouped into following eight “major national ethnic races” viz., Bamar; Chin; Kachin; Kayin; Kayah; Mon; Rakhine and Shan who are recognized the original natives of the country of Myanmar. Others are classified as outsiders or illegal immigrants as in the case of the Rohingya Muslims. The Muslims in Myanmar are divided into 4 groups: 1) The India Muslims known as Chulias, Kaka and Pathans were brought by the British colonizers to administer the colony.

  • Nationalist Ethnicities As Religious Identities: Islam, Buddhism, and Citizenship in Myanmar Imtiyaz Yusuf
    ajiss34-4-noconfrep_ajiss 11/3/2017 9:31 AM Page 100 Forum Nationalist Ethnicities as Religious Identities: Islam, Buddhism, and Citizenship in Myanmar Imtiyaz Yusuf Preliminary Statement: An Overview of Muslim-Buddhist Relations For centuries, the Rohingya have been living within the borders of the coun - try established in 1948 as Burma/Myanmar. Today left stateless, having been gradually stripped of their citizenship rights, they are described by the United Nations as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. In order to understand the complexity of this conflict, one must consider how Burma is politically transitioning from military to democratic rule, a process that is open (much as was Afghanistan) to competition for resources by in - ternational and regional players such as the United States, China, India, Is - rael, Japan, and Australia. 1 To be fair, the record of Southeast Asian Muslim countries with Buddhist minorities is also not outstanding. Buddhist minori - ties identified as ethnic groups have faced great discrimination in, among others, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. 2 Imtiyaz Yusuf is the director of the Center for Buddhist-Muslim Understanding, College of Religious Studies, Mahidol University, Salaya, Thailand. His recent publications are A Plane - tary and Global Ethics for Climate Change and Sustainable Energy (2016); “Muslim-Buddhist Relations Caught between Nalanda and Pattani,” in Ethnicity and Conflict in Buddhist Societies in South and Southeast Asia , ed. K.M. de Silva (2015) and “Islam and Buddhism,” in Wiley- Blackwell Companion to Interreligious Dialogue , ed. Catherine Cornille (2013). In addition to being a contributor to the Oxford Encyclopedia of Islamic World (2009), the Oxford Dictionary of Islam (2003), the Encyclopedia of Qur’an (2002), and the Oxford Encyclopedia of Modern Islamic World (1995), he was also the special editor of The Muslim World: A Special Issue on Islam and Buddhism 100, nos.

  • The Golden Land
    www.myanmarholiday.com THE GOLDEN LAND Bridging Splendid Services 2 www.myanmarholiday.com THE GOLDEN LAND This is Burma And it is unlikely any other land that you know about. Rudyard Kipling Myanmar is situated in Southeast Asia and bordered on the north and northeast by China, on the east and southeast by Laos and Thailand, on the south by the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal and on west by the People’s Republic of Bangladesh and on the northwest by India. It is located between latitudes 09°32’N and 28°31’N and longitudes 92°10’E and 101°11’E. With the total area of 676,577 sq km, it is about the size of United Kingdom and France combined. To this day Myanmar remains one of the most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world - a land of breathtaking beauty and charm yet only recently emerging into the modern world. What can the casual visitor therefore expect upon arrival, and why should one embark on such a journey in the first place? Myanmar offers all the traditional delights of Asia in one fascinating country-virgin jungles, snow-capped mountains and pristine beaches, combined with a rich and glorious heritage spanning more than two thousand years. Spectacular monuments and ancient cities attest to a vibrant culture that is still home to 135 different ethnic groups. The main national races are Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Chin, Bamar, Mon, Rakhine and Shan and Bamar is the majority. Population is estimated to be over 60 million. All these 135 different ethnic races, with their own languages, beliefs and customs, live in peace and harmony in the Golden Land of Myanmar.
