Why is it difficult for different communities to live peacefully in one region. How does a religion divide people who are born on the same land. Why is everyone so interested in finding the origins of a region and why does everyone want to decide that a region should be biased over a majority.This article may not answer all these question but clearly feels sorry for the kind of transition Burma is going through in the name of Democracy. When first Burma declared that it would ends its military rule and switch to democracy, little did anyone ever imagined that such democracy is visioned at a costly price. Its true that Burma is going through many political and cultural changes but that doesn't mean that Burma should have a national identity based on a major community since that was what it had been during military rule. Article vents out its frustration that Politicians are using community as a loop hole in disrupting law and order and that could be clearly seen in the recent attacks on Muslims in Burma who are considered a minor community.
Buddhist are supposed to be peace loving people and its very unfortunate that even Buddhists have participated in a cultural riots over a section of muslims and complained that they are don't belong to the so called Budhist nation. They sent out a clear message that such an attack is bound to happen even in future over the original Muslims who were born and brought up in Burma. Article also shows how helpless are the leaders of Burma both in opposition and ruling who did not have minimum courtesy to condemn the attacks. In a way, this article silently pleads Burma, not to take this road which eventually lead to total anarchy and loss of innocent lives in the name of one nation, the road which led to a disastrous future to many countries in south east.
