Democracy is “a form of government in which the ​ people have the authority to choose their governing legislation.” However, the values and standards of democracy have not yet been established in Burma and the people’s authority over their daily lives and fundamental rights is fading. It is clearly shown that Burma is deviating from the path of democracy as those who exercise their right to freedom of speech and expression which is a fundamental right in democratization, face not only oppression and restrictions but arbitrary detentions and arrests. This September, freedom of speech and expression became more severely restricted. A total of 34 students and members of student unions from Rangoon, Mandalay, Meiktila Monywa, Pakokku and Pyay Townships were charged under Section 19 of PAPPL or Section 505(a)(b) of the Penal Code or Section 25 of the Natural Disaster Management Law for staging protests in related to the conflict in Arakan. Among them, 23 students were formally arrested and one was sentenced. In addition to this, four civilians were arrested. Moreover, Sithu Aung a.k.a Saung Kha was fined under Section 19 of PAPPL for protesting to reinstate internet services in Arakan and Chin states.

  • A Geographic Trace on Meithei Descendants in Mandalay and Its Environ
    A Geographic Trace on Meithei Descendants in Mandalay and Its Environ Myint Thida1 Abstract Scholars accepted that two major types of acculturation, incorporation and directed change, control cultural changes of any tribe or ethnic group. Meithei people in Myanmar have a different historical background and different origins with a different culture. They have two religious origins and the first one represents very ancient religious tradition of Manipuri (locally known as GodMotherSpirit) and the second one represents GodMotherSpirit mixing with Hinduism. In tracing the spatial distribution of Meithei, Systematic Stratified Sampling Method (SSSM) is used in this work. The study shows that Meithei of the first group has almost disappeared while those of second group are still growing. The striving of Meithei people is actually by virtue of the caste system of Hinduism and Meitheis of Brahman caste are only the remains of former Meithei today. In reality, two forms of culture, tangible and intangible, have been gradually changed but intangible culture related to religious belief has firmly cultivated among present day Meithei descendants. Key words: Meithei, culture heart, acculturation, caste system, tangible culture, intangible culture, Brahman INTRODUCTION Scholars accepted that two major types of acculturation, incorporation and directed change, control cultural changes of any tribe or ethnic group.
