Abstract:
The two major ethnic groups that entered Myanmar centuries ago were the Bamar and the Shan. The Bamar immigrants settled in the central plain region of Myanmar and the Shan people occupied the hilly regions of the north and the east of the country. As times passed by these two ethnic races had come to mix and mingle with each other, socially, economically, religiously and politically. With the occasional struggle for cerstral power they seemed discmited, However, actually, as members of the same family they fought against the foreign invaders, sharing woe and joy together in the ups and downs of Myanmar History. Moreover both Bamar and Shan professed the same faith of Buddhism and that united them much closer than any other ethnic groups in this country.Published: Published: Myingyan Degree College Research Journal ( Vol-1 )
