The Ancient City of Thagara: Cultural and Social Change in the Buddhist
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online 1 Dawei Buddhist culture: a hybrid borderland Myanmar Historical Research Journal (21) June 2011, pp.1-62 Elizabeth Moore 1 Dawei is both hybrid and borderland, its Buddhist culture a stylistic and territorial puzzle. Far from the ‗heartland‘ yet passed from one major polity to another over the centuries, its pagodas and monasteries provided a physical and aesthetic means to asserted distance and accommodate ‗other‘. Some objects and ideas were imported; others grafted the new onto local forms to produce hybrid styles, while others are uniquely local.2 Is Dawei culture similarity or a new unification of the cultural diversity of Pyu, Bagan, Sri Lanka, Sukhothai and Ayutthaya? This report argues the contrary, that Dawei resilience in the face of continual threats sustained a local cultural personality that has survived until the present. The question is addressed by first classifying the sites of Dawei into four cultural zones and then discussing the extraordinary range of artefacts from these zones by material.3 This is preceded by a chronological summary to illustrate the often turbulent history and local chronicles. Figure 1. Glazed wares from Sin Seik,circa 15-17th century CE, paintings by Myint Aung, Ministry of Culture, June 2010. Dawei urban and cultural significance The earliest illustration of the process of accommodation and separation described above can be seen in the ‗Dawei Pyu‘ of the first millennium CE. 4 The majority of these come from the large site of Thagara5 [/tha ga ra/] founded in 754 CE (116 ME), with the only text source being the Dawei chronicles.

Tanintharyi Govt Eyes Unused Farmland

Photo: Thiri Lu / The Myanmar Times Tanintharyi govt eyes unused farmland The Tanintharyi Region government has announced it will take back undeveloped land from companies that have failed to implement proposed agriculture projects, but will need the support of Nay Pyi Taw to put the plan into action. MyOpenAds Chief Minister Daw Lae Lae Maw, who has been tackling misuse of the region’s natural resources since she took office earlier this year, said the government is looking into land use because it has been a major driver of social and environmental issues in Myanmar’s southernmost state. In mid-August, the local government discussed the future of land confiscated by the military government, to loan to private companies for agriculture projects, and agreed it should be taken back if it was not being used, she said. The local government has also announced the decision on its website. The state has the right to take back farmland if it has not been cultivated for four years after an initial land-lease agreement contract is signed, under the Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Lands Management Law of 2012, said Daw Lae Lae Maw. “We have been surveying unused land and submitted our findings to the central government,” she said.

Region-Specific Conflict Considerations – Rakhine And
6 Region-Specific Conflict Analysis Part 6.1 6 Rakhine 6.1 In this section: A. Regional Context B. Conflict Dynamics C. Key Human Rights Implications for the O&G Sector A. Regional Context Rakhine State is located in the western part of Myanmar, with a long coastline on the Bay of Bengal to the west, and a shorter border with Bangladesh to the north. The state is separated from the rest of Myanmar by the Rakhine Yoma, a mountain range running north-south and rising to 3,000m at its highest point. Only three roads cross these mountains, the main one being Magway to Ann, then Pyay to Toungup to the south, then Yegyi to Gwa, in the far south. The state is divided into four districts, with a total of 17 townships. The population of around 3.3 million is made up of a majority Rakhine Buddhists, and a significant minority (estimated at 30+ per cent) of Muslims. In some areas, particularly northern Rakhine State, there is a large majority of Muslims; in some other areas there is a reasonably large Chin minority. Apart from the capital Sittwe, the population of the rest of the state is overwhelmingly rural. It is one of the poorest states/regions of the country, along with Chin State. B. Conflict Dynamics Rakhine State has been little affected by armed conflict in recent decades. There are a number of Rakhine armed groups, but these are very small, and most of them are not based in Rakhine State, but rather in Kachin or Kayin states, where they have fought alongside larger armed groups.
