the mentality of leftist/liberandu type hindus should truly be considered as a subject of study. the way they always try to portray themselves as the "truly empathetic" ones- yet somehow divert and try to justify some of the worst attrocities against hindus- their own people is truly shocking. they will cry "hindutwa! hindutwa!" yet will not think twice before siding with borderline islamofascist ideas.
not gonna lie- once i was like them! but my eyes opened sometime in 2018 when i heard about the Kha Maung Seik massacre. everyone was like "rohingya refugees this" "rohingya refugees that"- yet no one raised a single voice about the 99 hindu villagers-mostly women and children- slaughtered by muslim insurgents! nobody cared! it was as if their lives did not matter at all! on further research i found about the condition of the bangladeshi hindus- from then on my pov began to change.
coming back to liberandus- i often wonder what drives them to defend and sympathise with radical islamist ideologies that takes the lives of so many innocent people. if radical islam or any other extremist aspect takes over india- do they think they'll be safe? that they'll be cared for because they defended such ideologies and the people who preached them? i simply do not get them.
Absolutely. I was actually surprised that any media reported about the Kha Maung Seik massacre. I remember when the massacre happened it was talked about in some Hindutva circles in Bengal, as the Hindu refugees had fled from Arakan, Myanmar, to Chittagong. The worst thing is that the Hindu refugees were getting attacked even in the refugee camps in Chittagong, until Bangladeshi Hindu organisation stepped in and built a separate area for the Arakan Hindu refugees, and even did Durga Puja together. Then gradually I started seeing that even Indian media is reporting and then Amnesty reported it too. It was truly a miracle because I thought that their story would never be heard because rohingyas were seen as the only victims.

Myanmar: No Redress for Rohingya Muslims in Arakan Army Massacre
Hundreds Killed at Hoyyar Siri in 2024 Amid Military Indifference; Survivors Denied Return
(Bangkok) – Two years after the Arakan Army, an ethnic armed group, killed and wounded hundreds of Rohingya Muslims and burned down their village in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, the survivors remain unable to return home, with many effectively detained, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The Arakan Army has rejected responsibility for the massacre at Hoyyar Siri (Htan Shauk Khan in Burmese), Buthidaung township, which involved grave violations of the laws of war amounting to war crimes.
The 56-page report, “‘Skeletons and Skulls Scattered Everywhere’: Arakan Army Massacre of Rohingya Muslims in Hoyyar Siri, Myanmar,” documents the May 2, 2024 attack, in which Arakan Army fighters deliberately fired on unarmed villagers who were seeking safety after the armed group advanced on two Myanmar military bases in the vicinity. Details of the massacre only began emerging more than a year later, after some survivors fled to Bangladesh and Malaysia.
“The Arakan Army’s murder of hundreds of Rohingya civilians and the burning of their village in Rakhine State in 2024 took the armed conflict with Myanmar’s junta to a new level of depravity,” said Meenakshi Ganguly, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Today, the massacre’s survivors are effectively detained by the Arakan Army, which has neither provided redress nor held those responsible to account.”
Burma is considered a culturally diverse country. The complexicity of the diversity is interesting and it is also fascinating. Once you dive into a domain of diversity, multiple sub-element emerges.
We encompass different values, beliefs, norms and beauty.
There are 8 main ethnicities in the country; Kachin, Kayah, Karen, Chin, Mon, Burmese, Rakhine and Shan. Wait, that is not all. There are many different sub-ethnicities. Shan, for example, was historically ruled by 33 different Saopoa (a term in Shan language meaning local governors), therefore can be seen as 33 sub ethnicities; Kokang, Danu, Ta'ang, Palong, Lahu, Wa, MawShan, Pao to name a few.
You think this is alot of sub-ethnicities. What about if I say that up to 53 sub-ethnicities can be seen in Chin; Salai, Naga, KlinKaw, Kumi, Tedim, Matu to name a few.
Lets talk about Kachin. Depending on who we ask we get the answer between 6 to 12 sub-ethnicities. To name a few, they are Jainhpaw, Rawan, Rongow, LaChit to name a few.
Karen and Rakhine are also pretty diverse. To name a few; Arakan, Myo, Tat for Rakhine and S'gaw, Poe, P'Ku for Karens.
What about majority Burmese? It also have some diversities. Nine different sub-burmese ethnicities are known so far. Burmese, Yaw, Salone, DaWay, Gadu, Taung Tar, GaNan, Myate, Poan.
Mon, however, has one sub-ethnicity only which is Mon :)
Ok. This is as far as we can wrap out heads around 🥸🥵😶😭😶🤯🤯🤯. Let's move onto the fun part. Let's see some of the ethnic costumes that we can get our hands on.

'The internet might encourage instability and destructive activities,' says the communications authority.
Since Myanmar shut off the internet in two states a year ago, lawyer Oo Twan Hla, who was once able to check online when his cases were scheduled, said he must now travel through a war zone to read a signboard.
An aspiring medic, in a community largely barred from accessing healthcare, can no longer search the web for remedies to help sick neighbours.
The government-ordered shutdown in two of Myanmar’s poorest states — Rakhine and neighbouring Chin — home to about a million people, is a year old on Sunday.
Justified on emergency grounds amid a growing insurgency, it is the longest internet blackout in the world, rights groups say.
Myanmar’s bloodiest conflict in decades has spiralled despite the shutdown and more than a dozen residents told Reuters the blackout had made their lives worse
From traders losing business to villagers forced to make risky trips to send messages, they described an information freeze that has damaged the economy and left them in the dark about the conflict and the novel coronavirus.
“It’s like we lost our sight,” said Ray Than Naddy, 22, from Buthidaung, one of eight townships affected.
After the internet was switched off, she said, she had to close her online shop, losing income that paid for her brother’s schooling.
Authorities say the shutdown will remain at least until Aug 1 and will only be lifted when security improves.
Myo Swe, director-general at the Ministry of Transport and Communications, which ordered the blackout, said it was for security.
“The internet might encourage instability and destructive activities,” Myo Swe told Reuters by telephone.
Rakhine is the region from which hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims fled in 2017 after a military crackdown that the government said was ordered in response to attacks by Rohingya insurgents.
But since then, a new conflict has blown up between the army and rebels from the largely Buddhist Rakhine ethnic group, a majority in the state.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya remain confined to camps and villages, subjected to restrictions on movement and access to healthcare.
The aspiring medic, a Rohingya man in his twenties who declined to be identified, said he had been learning English on YouTube and giving people medical advice through videos, but was no longer able to.
“It would be very easy if I got the internet,” he said.
Residents said it was harder to get information about fighting between the military and the Arakan Army insurgents, who seek greater autonomy for the state, and to determine if roads were safe.
The shutdown was imposed on military orders six months after fighting began, government spokesman Zaw Htay said.
But the fighting has not slowed.
More people have been killed and injured this year than in 2019, according to the United Nations. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced and dozens killed.
Former UN human rights envoy Yanghee Lee said the shutdown could be used to conceal war crimes.
Rights group Amnesty International says civilians feel isolated and have few options to report abuses.
The military denies abuses and accuses insurgents of using villagers as human shields – an accusation the insurgents say is not true. A military spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
The government introduced telecoms reforms in 2014, allowing Norway’s Telenor Group and Ooredoo from Qatar to operate. The price of SIM cards quickly dropped from US$200 to as little as US$2, bringing millions of people online.
The International Crisis Group think-tank said the shutdown had affected digital payments, cash remittances and market information for farmers.
Few people use banks but more than 11 million people use a digital payments service called Wave Money, a joint venture between Telenor and Myanmar’s Yoma.
Activists have urged mobile operators to challenge the law that justifies the blackout but both Telenor and Ooredoo have said they must obey it, though they have participated in discussions about building a coalition to propose amendments to the law.
Telenor Myanmar said in an April letter to activists seen by Reuters it believed if it disobeyed the law and lost its licence, the impact would be even worse.
Cathrine Stang Lund, a company spokeswoman, said it had done an assessment that found the shutdown had an impact on rights principles, including access to information and freedom of speech.
“We have been in continuous dialogue with the authorities to end the shutdown, and look forward to be allowed to resume Internet services on Aug 1,” she said.
Ooredoo Myanmar did not respond to a request for comment.
Businesswoman Ray Than Naddy said it felt like people were being penalised for the insurgency.
“Please don’t punish us civilians for what’s going on,” she said.
The Burmese script was derived from the Pyu, Mon, Kadamba or Pallava script during the 8th century. The earliest known inscription is from 1035.
Burmese calligraphy originally followed a square format, but cursive took hold from the 17th century, when popular writing led to the wider use of palm leaves and folded paper. Straight lines would rip these leaves.
Notable features
Script type: abugida
Writing direction: left-to-right in rows
Number of characters: 33 (+ 14 vowel diacritics)
Languages: Burmese, Karen, Mon, Pali, Rakhine, and Sanskrit
Vowel diacritics are used to change the inherent vowel sound of consonants.
The three tones (creaky, low, and high) are indicated by diacritics or special letters above or below the consonant or before or after the consonant.
Consonant clusters are formed using special characters called stacked consonants. For example, ကမ္ဘာ (kambha) contains the stacked consonant မ္ဘ (m-bh). The first consonant is မ (m) and the second consonant is ဘ (bh).
