- Why are Myanmar’s Ethnic Armies always at War? | Flashback with Palki Sharma
Myanmar is said to have around 135 ethnic groups, many of them with their own territory and army. Since its independence in 1948, Myanmar has struggled to create a national identity and put down rebellions by ethnic armies. Many military experts consider Myanmar’s internal conflict to be the longest-running civil war in the world. The latest one involves fighting between a coalition of ethnic groups and the ruling junta. The rebel groups are said to hold an edge and control up to 60% of Myanmar’s total territory. Why do so many ethnic armies operate in Myanmar? How did the fighting first break out? Palki Sharma tells you on Flashback.

Should India support the rebel groups fighting against Myanmar’s junta? Comment below and join the conversation.
India should support military not Christian anti india-burmerse west supported rebels !
If you protect dharma
Then dharma will protect you
Are you sure all rebels are Christians? I don't think so. @@animalsforlaugh7939
India should keep it's nose out of it.. otherwise get ready for India out campaign in Myanmar too
The Myanmar Military's losses everyday is the consequences of Ah-Dhamma (against Dhamma).
India should do more than mere words to save democracy as the largest democratic country and help Myanmar people to attain democracy and need to topple the Military junta dictatorship. And also See what China is doing in Myanmar Myanmar because if India did nothing one day Myanmar will become a puppet of China
A Myanmar citizen here. The war is not between rebels and military.its between military and citizens. We live here we know how we got treaten. After a year i wanna come again and say "we got democracy from the killer military" prey for Myanmar and the youngesters that died in this war. Myanmar will rise again ❤
stupid
For ethnic groups they just want federal state which Indian and the US also use for their country
@@May28Eight17why
That's no correct Myanmar military are try to kill our people. @@vanvan2562
Which place is worse: Myanmar or Gotham City?
Thank you for this report. I am a Burmese but born and brought up in India. I am simply sad for this country and a Buddhist nation killing its own people is simply unacceptable. I am baffled by all the atrocities in this country. I have my siblings over there and I can only pray and hoping it will all be soon over. It is good to know the ancient history and we hope India can help them as no one else is doing much!
Why you are in India?
People of India shouldn't forget how south Indians/bengaIi hindus were expelled by the Burmese .They expelled our people while we let their people live here happily hahaha, something is seriously wrong with our democracy and our governments .Shame
@@dhirajreddy56 You have absolutely no understanding of Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan Dharma makes provisions for self-protection especially when dealing with a disingenuous group of people. You're a closeted follower of Rahul Gandhi.
@@pritsingh9766 People of India shouldn't forget that they're occupying Tibeto-Burmese lands, and Pakistanis are just Muslim Indians.
i am born in myanmar now yangon my love my country
We Indians support Myanmar people and their will of democracy ! Not a tiny public support to Junta
indian government are supporting and arming the junta.
Thanks! But Modi government is siding with the junta.
India want Buddhist Myanmar 🇲🇲 not Christian or Muslim demographic change in Myanmar 🇲🇲
@@christianoronaldo2189Don't bluff. India is tolerant to all religions. If they are not following terrorism.
And ethics groups are dragging India and religions into their wars. Afterwards blaming them all.🤔
I know this a serious issue but the social media has ruined the word Karen for me 😭
😂
😂😅
Karen's are a problem across the board
The word "Karen" is an Anglicized word for the ethnic Kayin people living in South Eastern Myanmar. Not to be confused with the annoying and obnoxious female person called Karen.
In our tongue it's actually pronounced Kayin or Karin.
All of your Flashbacks should be taught as part of history in schools. 🙏
Sounded neutral but Still wrong and biased information. Most of the information is correct and i support the media for its bravery. But this media could have made it better.
I am from Myanmar Rohinjya Citizen❤Pray for Myanmar People❤
Thank you, Palki, for this insightful video. Your detailed exploration into Myanmar’s 80-year history of conflicts is a crucial piece that adds much-needed depth to the often surface-level discussions focused solely on the past three years and the democracy narrative. It's essential to understand these complexities, as the situation in Myanmar is not just black and white-it resembles a powder keg of various interest groups, much like the historical challenges faced by the former Yugoslavia.
Your analysis complements the personal narrative and contemporary scenes I explored in my recent video, where I aimed to capture the everyday emotions and cultural vibrancy against the backdrop of Myanmar’s historical setting. Together, I believe our videos can offer viewers a fuller picture of Myanmar’s rich yet tumultuous tapestry. Great work on raising awareness about these crucial issues
As being Nepalese from Myanmar, our forefathers have contributed so much to keep many pieces of land intact. They fought hard for foreign country but now we rare get noticed. They banned Gorkhas to practice or training any sort of military operation. We all survived from food that we grow ourselves. Anyhow, They gave us citizenship!
Mayanmar people voted against partition with India, British purposefully seperated Burma from India
It goes back to British colonization. Ethnicity was fluid before the British, and Brits promoted certain groups to suppress other groups. People are victims of the Divide and Conquer policy.
So, since they've been colonized, will that mean they will never ever achieve prosperity anymore for the rest of their miserable existence on this beautiful planet?
It is among of many if it's in history..........great closing line Palki
In Vietnam, we have 54 ethnic groups. However, the policy of the Vietnamese government is to promote ethnic harmony and prioritize remote and disadvantaged areas. This includes providing benefits to minority ethnic groups, such as free education or reduced tuition fees. The government also ensures religious equality, treating all religions fairly without any bias. In Vietnam, you can find a Buddhist temple right next to a monastery or a Catholic or Protestant church. All members of society are treated fairly, without discrimination, in the fields of education and economics (except for certain historical reasons where some government agencies restrict the participation of certain population groups to prevent internal espionage).
As an ethnic Kinh person (the majority ethnic group in Vietnam), I sometimes feel envious when I see that minority ethnic groups receive more favorable treatment in terms of waived tuition fees and other welfare benefits provided by the government. However, we understand that these are rights that minority ethnic groups deserve in order to integrate into life and improve their economic well-being. Our motto is “no one left behind.” As a result, Vietnam’s poverty rate has decreased from over 50% in 1986 to less than 3% today, and we rank 35th in the world in terms of GDP. Thanks to peace, political stability, and good foreign policies, we are proud to be an ideal destination for foreign investors, including companies like Apple, Samsung, Intel and Nvidia... Vietnamese people cherish peace and always yearn for it. We understand the value of peace more than anyone else.
I hope that everywhere in the world, there will be no more hunger, poverty, or wars.
Thanks
We Indians should be grateful to our Iron Man who very intelligently united us and then to our constitution makers who kept interests of all in mind and in the constitution.
Unlike Indian leader in WW2 , Burmese leader was young and stubborn . Also has little knowledge, only know fight back to get independent. If Burmese leader were smart like Indian leader at that time , the current situation of the Myanmar might be different . Which will become more peaceful neighborhood

Great lessons of history 👍

It's always the British...

Not a funny
I support the people of Myanmar

Lol nobody cares.
Thank u
U are from Myanmar?
@@user-zl9wy2gz6w no I'm from India ...
Pray for the peace of Myanmar.
Indians brought in Myanmar in British times were neglected by Mother India like Pakistan Hindus. Till now Indian origins in Myanmar are helpless
Bitter truth
😂Burmese itself are helpless...
This is not true Palki. Myanmar have around 2 million Indians living in the country. Its just that when they are issued their national ID card, both Chinese and Indians are issued as Myanmar in their Nationality and ethnicity form.
Then kindly send your fake hypothetical 2 million indians back and take your Rohingyas and other Burmese, they are creating lots of problems here .
You are right
❤
we love india from myanmar❤
Great history lesson of the country we now call Myanmar.
Free Myanmar People fr crazy Junta 🙏😔
the Karen people will complain to the manager.
Well researched and equally well presented...
Hello Buddhism and Buddha is from NEPAL
Thanks you for your repost, I am Mon National
Everyone is speaking about supporting the rebels or supporting the government ... Why can't we support to put the conflict into end so that the poorest man will live in peace😢😢
Yes, but if the price of ending the conflict means I don't get to rule, then... no.
There is no government it's the worst dictatorship after north Korea and Eritrea in the whole world. It's a military corrupt rule very similar political elite like Pol pots Cambodia. It's a country in terror for ages... There is no support revels or gov. There is only the people need to be free! From a crazy last century old dictatorship and terror rule at any cost!
There is lot of difference in thinking so the army junta will keep having conflict 😐
good history
alll Love to save the myanmar. ❤❤❤
Please help our country ❤😢
Thk u!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ informative clip of Myaar history!!! impressive😅😅😅
Thank you for explained the civil war between Karen people and Burmese military. Thank you
Many Naga lands are occupied by Burma, we need to expand the state of Nagaland by removing the junta government, giving autonomy to the various ethnicities and liberating them.
Thank you for this insightful video
Would like to point out one thing, at timespan 9:30 , it's shown Kachin map which is actually Naga territory. Naga self administered zone in Myanmar.
Nagaland was divided between India and Myanmar without the knowledge of Nagas,
In India: Nagas are divided to four states - arunachal pradesh such as wancho, nocte etc, assam- rengmas etc, Manipur- Mao, poumai, tangkhul etc, and Nagaland.
Again In Myanmar it's divided into 4 regions or states
1.Naga self administered zone
2. Saigang state.
3. Chin state
4. Kachin state
But one day, we Nagas will live together United as One again,
And lastly no Myanmar kingdom ever conquer Nagas, not Manipur, not Ahoms which defeated Mughals, even British Empire could only defeat few village but they put entire Naga maps as under British which is not true, they didn't conquer even 1:00 map of nagas
I think your .... delusional..
@@fullstar655 umm why?
Sad
❤❤❤❤❤🎉
British never ruled Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. A very incorrect map. The British that conquered these lands actually merged smaller nations into three administrations being Burma (Myanmar), Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and India.
not gonna pretend to be geopolitical expert but either Myanmar becomes a very federal state where the states have a lot of power for themselves or the country dissolves and many more countries are born from the ashes my 2 cents on what is possible been saying as some groups are more in favor of full independence it seems.
Thanks for this report, I was born in this burma in 1963.
So, the whole life grows up this war time. So my opinion ,this problem will end when world solve solve this problem
Jai hind my respected mam 🙏 ❤
My god. What a crisp, clear, direct summary! You have no idea Ms. Palki and team, how easy peazy y'all make it for us to understand the whole ordeal. Kudos!
it's sad for those (Bangladeshi) who try to invade Myanmar will be facing with firstly Myanmar Army and then 2ndly 120+ Ethnic Arms Group they are not to be messed with because they have 60 years of fighting experience and expertise in Territory.
Palki Sharma 👍
Yes
India should be a friend of Myanmar people. We need to help them build national institutions but take no side!
What you suggest is next to impossible. It always involves taking a side.
@@JohnAdams-vd5dcMyanmar has too many different ethnics to be able to do that but imagine if Myanmar is civilized.... Both India Myanmar and China would be very prosperous
India’s Foreign policy is neutral policy. India doesn’t take any side. Always stays in middle. India wants to be with Myanmar people and also India is supporting Military who is killing its own people.
And rohingyas are entering here illegally and our demography is changing slowly☹️
@@nyizaw8335 So? Canada has a lot of ethnicities and they made it work, why can't the people of Myanmar?
any country can sports we are ethnics groups arms that great because the burmese military government baddly pushquition our ethics groups long time ago we needs all ethnics freedom thanks
Touok❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing I’m Karen people too we want all ethnic groups have their own country independent states 🥰😫
Will never happen
Wdym? will never happens? You don’t know what will happen in the future we believe in ourselves that’s why we fight with Myanmar military.
@@ectehnay You're winning because of the Bamar PDF. You've been fighting for how many generations now? Only when the Bamar from the center join, you can speak about independence. Remember that.
stability and myanmar are antonyms. Nobody can help also. U can find true definition of hopelessness in that country situation.
We're Karen people who come to thi country first and we name it Kawthoolei and we fight for our country and Independent more than 75 year till now
75 years is a long time to be fighting. If you spent 75 years building instead, imagine the living standards of the people of Myanmar today.
Nice palki for referring manipur as hindu kingdom. plz be aware I love ur news
you forget that in the first constitution when they got independence from the british it was stated that the ethnicitties could get independent after 10 years. this was maybe written with positive thoughts but it can also give people hope of their own country and with that maybe a resistance army etc. so the basis was already a bit shaky and not right to keep a country together as one.
You miss something there is a nation call Shan or Tai which mean Thai in Myanmar. They have their own Kingdom in northern and eastern Myanmar
Many Shan Principalities(Not Kingdom)!
Why does India have more Ethnic groups than Burma yet does not have an ongoing civil war?
It appears there are some inaccuracies in the video. Firstly, the term "KaLa" doesn't translate to "black men"; rather, it originates from "Kuu Lar," meaning "come from others." Additionally, historically, Burmese people were also referred to as "Khama." Regarding the situation in Myanmar, it's not merely an ethnic conflict but a struggle for justice between citizens and the military junta.
Yes you're right. I also want to say it. Thank You.
Myanmar must restore a democratic form of govt.
This war never ending.
*FYI Manipur Was An Independent Asiatic Kingdom, Ruled By Meitei Kings, Having A Written History In The Form Of Royal Chronicle (More Than 2000 Years Old) Before Becoming A Part Of India Following A Controversial Merger On 21st September 1949; After Present India Got Formed After Getting Independence From Britishers On 14Th August 1947😊*
Praise our founding fathers post independence who worked hard to unite a far more diverse collection of states into one nation. Unlike the Sangh whose idea of India is merely based on Hinduism!
sangh is not a poilitical party. But according to khangress india isn't based on hinduism, thats why they divided india in such a way that muslims can live anywhere in south asia but hindus can only remain alive in india.
Plz make videos on electoral bonds of India ....
Rakhine State is in the Western part of MYANMAR, There are no Rohingya state in Western Myanmar
Can you mention Arakan Kingdom in Myanmar next time?
Why Myanmar military genocide of civilians,so many people's so sad anywhere,to arkan so many Rohingya patient and died,
7:05 Yes, "They made Burma a province of British India and it was a big insults to the people. They did not consider themselves as an Indian yet the British clubbed them together"
This is the main reason behind insurgency in NE India. And Nagaland is still fight against the illegal occupation of Indian in their homeland.
We LOVE you PLEASE. HELP UR SUPPORT AND LOVE ARE CARE. WE are DYING DAY BY DAY. PLEASE , HELP US. YOU EVERY COUNTRIES OF THE WOULD. WE NEED YOU ALL MORE THAN I can say. Please help us.
That's how it is in Nigeria today
from Burma need help dear🙏
Here the answer if you wanna know. We don’t want independence country but want right same as other major ethic group its why we always say we want freedom. We never say we want our own country
the army stoking ethnic tensions does do that, you want freedom from their oppression but not the whole country as they didn't really do anything
Only a proper democratic country can provide you peace and prosperity. Others are always there to take advantage. Don't you see China slowly swallowing small countries?
Thank you for calling the EAO's Ethnic Armies instead of 'rebels'. They are militias who are protecting their own territories, but due to their own differences of opinion or ideology or aims and objectives, they fight amongst themselves, just like ethnic tribes in any nation, including in India. India should understand that this kind of fighting is nothing new, since your country has had in-fighting between tribes and ethnic groups since the beginning of Indian civilization.
RD Burman - SD Burman 😂
Dancer Helen is really Burmi
India official government is literally supporting the junta, supplying the largest amount of ammo and fighter jet equipments and many advance weapons to military junta, as a Indian, Hindu origin, live in Myanmar , I think Indian people should know the situation of the hindu living in Myanmar, here there are many problems , please,we needed the CAA of India,which is available and applied in some country for minors, not included the Myanmar,
Please we(Myanmar Hindu) requested India people not help military junta and help hindu in getting CAA act for Myanmar,too🎉
Hallo, Palki Sharma, the picture you showing at 57.secend is Rohingya Army were change peace with Bamma army in August 1961.you can see the dress of Rohingya.sorry❤
I am Burmese I think your's writer knew A to B about Myanmar 😅
You can check Karen history in Burma last 1949 January 31 True history
Longest fighting in Burma
6:14 tf is this?
The really culprit is English Colonel.
Please make a video between naga's and india❤
Myanmar should join Union of India
I think the broadcaster is wrong in mentioning Chin & Rohinga States in northwest of Myanmar map. There are only Chin and Rakhine States there. I do not recall any record on ethnicity named Rohinga during the colonial times. It must have been started mentioning of it in the 80s after the conflicts at the border of Bengladesh and Rakhine State after which Myanmar had to accept the Bengali people returning from Bengladesh.
Karen people are living there long time ago before those burman arrive.
That was a lie. Where is the evidence? Karens arrived with Mongol invasion of Burma.
Karens came from Gobi desert. Karens love nomad lifestyle like Mongol nomads.
Longest ethnic revolt is in india if I'm not mistaken..
India must learn from its' past mistakes and move forward as a hero of former British colonies by representing the Indian Federal model. Also, by not getting involved militarily, nor dictating to its' neighbors, but as a supporter of all sides diplomatically and justly. It is doable and I believe that India could turn both Myanmar and Sri Lanka into an Indian style governance where all ethnic groups are represented within the unity and 'territorial integrity' of each country. It is not too late for India to turn a new leaf as I'm not going to explain about the past.
It's amazing how countries that were prepared to use extreme violence to "persuade" colonial powers to acquiesce to their independence are, when independent, equally prepared to use extreme violence to suppress any of their own regions' desire for independence.
And yet they also continue to berate ex-empire countries for acts that occurred during the colonial period. One might describe this as a dysfunctional combination of hypocrisy and irony. This is especially so when a region that itself would like to be independent is squabbled over most bloodily by partitioned ex-colonies.
It is still 99% doings by the military 😅😅
Learn the difference between colonial powers and one's own people. One is to avoid civil war and fragmentation and the other is to avoid slavery and exploitation. Just because kicking out foreigners is right you don't kick out your own family.
The CIA orchestrated in Mayama for many years ...Poli_Geography!
kala meas the guys who sails from sea . It come from KU La.Not based on skin.8:32
In manipur the war is called "7 yrs devastation" Manipur king wins back the land
By bootlicking the British,that's how..😂
Just because of British and Burmese contract.
India afraid of china so want to make friendship with Myanmar junta or kuki rebels. So help to both secretly
"The Hindu kingdom of Manipur" plizzz!
But majority of meitei are Sanamahi .They used Hindu as a victim card but in reality only some of them are Hindu
I am not Myanmar, I am karen from Kawthoolei 🥰 if you called civil war, you must know how many civilization in that country not only Burmese, and also history has not only Burma history.
Make a video on Bangladesh government cracking down kuki terrorist organisation and how it will impact on northeast state of India especially Manipur. Having alot of illegal Kuki-zo immigrants problem from Myanmar and now in Bangladesh. Please make a video coz I believe if you make it, it will be with proper investigated information.
Why doesn't India get involved and help one side of the war?
#Since day one (Independence from UK) Burma was unable to put into a strong Constitution reflecting ‘Social Values’ listed as:
1. ‘Social Values’ (Equality, Brotherhood Spirit) among multi ‘Ethnic Races’ are not addressed by Army Dictators since day one:
2. Army Dictators (mostly “Burman” Race) behave like they are supreme towards multi ‘Ethnic Races’ living in the country:
3. A strong Constitution (Social Contract between Citizens & Govt) to reflect these social values do not exist till to date 2024.
# Due lack of such a strong Constitution, conflicts broke out between the Army & multi ‘Ethnic Races’
# Now Army coup (Feb ’21) has caused a huge “Social Upheaval” which become too hard to fix back since it become a war between total population (all National Races) against the Army.
# Citizens lost trust in the Army, thru reality, that its intention is to grip onto power anyway, anyhow no matter what.
# With this Army’s mindset (using “force” as only option) and opposition forces who are determined to close Army’s chapter in Burma - that could end up in a Civil War; that is what happens NOW.
Why didn't your forefather think about these values.
Your leaders didn't have the vision of future and unification of country.
Buddhism taught non voidance and harmony but Myanmar doesn't adopt it.
