Why are Myanmar’s Ethnic Armies always at War? | Flashback with Palki Sharma 

Should India support the rebel groups fighting against Myanmar’s junta? Comment below and join the conversation.

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 ❤

We Indians support Myanmar people and their will of democracy ! Not a tiny public support to Junta

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!

I know this a serious issue but the social media has ruined the word Karen for me 😭

All of your Flashbacks should be taught as part of history in schools. 🙏

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.

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.

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

I am from Myanmar Rohinjya Citizen❤Pray for Myanmar People❤

It is among of many if it's in history..........great closing line Palki

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

Outstanding demonstration of Myanmar History. Thank you for clarifying this and please help us to understand more against Junta for the people of myanmar.

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.

Wow that's a small.and easy brush up guvenby palki..❤❤ thanks for it....

Thank for sharing Myanmar 😊

Great lessons of history 👍

Thanks

Great history lesson of the country we now call Myanmar.

It's always the British...

Thank u

I support the people of Myanmar

We Indians really have some interesting neighbours. 😅❤

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

Well researched and equally well presented...

Free Myanmar People fr crazy Junta 🙏😔

Interesting

Thanks you for your repost, I am Mon National

Thank you for explained the civil war between Karen people and Burmese military. Thank you

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😢😢

we love india from myanmar❤

Thank you for this insightful video

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.

Please help our country ❤😢

alll Love to save the myanmar. ❤❤❤

❤

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.

good history

Thk u!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ informative clip of Myaar history!!! impressive😅😅😅

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

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!

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.

Jai hind my respected mam 🙏 ❤

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

Kukiland/Zale'ngam = Lushai Hills/Mizoram of 🇮🇳 + Chittagong Hill Tracts of 🇧🇩 + Chin Hills of 🇲🇲 Please Support The Cause!

❤❤❤❤❤🎉

Sad

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 👍

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.

India should be a friend of Myanmar people. We need to help them build national institutions but take no side!

Hello Buddhism and Buddha is from NEPAL

Thank you for sharing I’m Karen people too we want all ethnic groups have their own country independent states 🥰😫

I don't know why all international media explore it?

Yes

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.

Nice palki for referring manipur as hindu kingdom. plz be aware I love ur news

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

Why does India have more Ethnic groups than Burma yet does not have an ongoing civil war?

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

Myanmar must restore a democratic form of govt.

stability and myanmar are antonyms. Nobody can help also. U can find true definition of hopelessness in that country situation.

Touok❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can you mention Arakan Kingdom in Myanmar next time?

Plz make videos on electoral bonds of India ....

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.

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!

You can check Karen history in Burma last 1949 January 31 True history Longest fighting in Burma

Please make a video between naga's and india❤

from Burma need help dear🙏

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❤

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

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

I am Burmese I think your's writer knew A to B about Myanmar 😅

"The Hindu kingdom of Manipur" plizzz!

Why Myanmar military genocide of civilians,so many people's so sad anywhere,to arkan so many Rohingya patient and died,

This war never ending.

In manipur the war is called "7 yrs devastation" Manipur king wins back the land

That's how it is in Nigeria today

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🎉

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.

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.

Were is the 4 noble truth in Myanmar. If india is the one who influences buddhism why supporting in war. Must support in truth and no harm. Meet them both side have dialogue with them 1st

*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😊*

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.

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.

".......Be reasonable there's a good chap Do it OUR way ......" Britain of 1940's.. Britain today "....... Please go back home No room here ...."

6:14 tf is this?

The CIA orchestrated in Mayama for many years ...Poli_Geography!

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.

Why doesn't India get involved and help one side of the war?

RD Burman - SD Burman 😂

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.

Longest ethnic revolt is in india if I'm not mistaken..

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.

They are not telling the whole story..........
