[@minmaungmaung8129]

During the colonisation of Burma, the British colonial masters brought in a large number of Indians into Burma. In the capital Rangoon, the native Burmese became the minority in their country, while the Indians became the majority. That's why in the video, you see many Indians but only a few Burmese. The cleverness of the British.

[@minmaungmaung8129]

@J S - Since you've been to Yangon 20 years ago, that must be 1998. Since there was a coup d'etat by the then military dictator Gen. Nay Win in 1962, most of the Indians who were merchants and industralists, had their assets nationalised; thus most of them had to return to India as making a living became very hard for them. Some even returned penniless. Therefore, after the coupe, the Indian population decreased. For your record.

[@tfhssn]

Bit of a racist one ain't you

[@minmaungmaung8129]

@@tfhssn - Wrong, it was not the Burmese civilians that were racists; it was the then army dictator that made the coup de tat that was racist. At that time, we, the civilians also suffered at the hands of this dictator. Burmese owned businesses were also nationalized without giving a cent as compensation. The dictator then was General Ne Win. Just to put the record straight.

Rangoon was first bombed by the Japanese on 23rd December 1941, shortly after the bombings of Pearl Harbour and Singapore. The hill station, Maymyo, where the KOYLI were also stationed, was also bombed and my mother and elder brother were flown out to India by the Americans. My father had to walk back to India through the jungle with the KOYLI. He was one of the few who survived. Many of his fellow soldiers died from Malaria. The retreat was the longest in the history of the British army.
