- Why are Myanmar’s Ethnic Armies always at War? | Flashback with Palki Sharma
Myanmar is said to have around 135 ethnic groups, many of them with their own territory and army. Since its independence in 1948, Myanmar has struggled to create a national identity and put down rebellions by ethnic armies. Many military experts consider Myanmar’s internal conflict to be the longest-running civil war in the world. The latest one involves fighting between a coalition of ethnic groups and the ruling junta. The rebel groups are said to hold an edge and control up to 60% of Myanmar’s total territory. Why do so many ethnic armies operate in Myanmar? How did the fighting first break out? Palki Sharma tells you on Flashback.

Should India support the rebel groups fighting against Myanmar’s junta? Comment below and join the conversation.
India should support military not Christian anti india-burmerse west supported rebels !
If you protect dharma
Then dharma will protect you
Are you sure all rebels are Christians? I don't think so. @@animalsforlaugh7939
India should keep it's nose out of it.. otherwise get ready for India out campaign in Myanmar too
The Myanmar Military's losses everyday is the consequences of Ah-Dhamma (against Dhamma).
India should do more than mere words to save democracy as the largest democratic country and help Myanmar people to attain democracy and need to topple the Military junta dictatorship. And also See what China is doing in Myanmar Myanmar because if India did nothing one day Myanmar will become a puppet of China
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 ❤
stupid
For ethnic groups they just want federal state which Indian and the US also use for their country
@@May28Eight17why
That's no correct Myanmar military are try to kill our people. @@vanvan2562
Which place is worse: Myanmar or Gotham City?
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!
Why you are in India?
People of India shouldn't forget how south Indians/bengaIi hindus were expelled by the Burmese .They expelled our people while we let their people live here happily hahaha, something is seriously wrong with our democracy and our governments .Shame
@@dhirajreddy56 You have absolutely no understanding of Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan Dharma makes provisions for self-protection especially when dealing with a disingenuous group of people. You're a closeted follower of Rahul Gandhi.
@@pritsingh9766 People of India shouldn't forget that they're occupying Tibeto-Burmese lands, and Pakistanis are just Muslim Indians.
i am born in myanmar now yangon my love my country
All of your Flashbacks should be taught as part of history in schools. 🙏
Sounded neutral but Still wrong and biased information. Most of the information is correct and i support the media for its bravery. But this media could have made it better.
We Indians support Myanmar people and their will of democracy ! Not a tiny public support to Junta
indian government are supporting and arming the junta.
Thanks! But Modi government is siding with the junta.
India want Buddhist Myanmar 🇲🇲 not Christian or Muslim demographic change in Myanmar 🇲🇲
@@christianoronaldo2189Don't bluff. India is tolerant to all religions. If they are not following terrorism.
And ethics groups are dragging India and religions into their wars. Afterwards blaming them all.🤔
I know this a serious issue but the social media has ruined the word Karen for me 😭
😂
😂😅
Karen's are a problem across the board
The word "Karen" is an Anglicized word for the ethnic Kayin people living in South Eastern Myanmar. Not to be confused with the annoying and obnoxious female person called Karen.
In our tongue it's actually pronounced Kayin or Karin.
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.
Vietnam is 85% ethnic Kinh, even if other ethnic groups (Chams, Jarai, Tay, Muong etc) rebelled against Vietnam they did not have enough population to sustain itself especially against 80 million Kinhs.
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
It is among of many if it's in history..........great closing line Palki
Outstanding demonstration of Myanmar History. Thank you for clarifying this and please help us to understand more against Junta for the people of myanmar.
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.
So, since they've been colonized, will that mean they will never ever achieve prosperity anymore for the rest of their miserable existence on this beautiful planet?
It is truth.
Not really, the only reason for them to join the Brits was bc they were already suppress even before the Brits came. The Burma king would capture/kidnapped ethnic minorities from their villages to fight the Thai. These ethnic groups are just fighting to take their land back.
I am Bamar. My grandmother told me her grandmother was Pyu Bamar from Pyay ShweTaung area.
Thank you for this presentation.
I am born and brought up in Myanmar, and has been living through the chaos since the military coup on 1st February 2021. Great research on Myanmar's history. However, the current civil war is between the military and civilians. You cannot call ethnic armed groups as rebels if you know what they are fighting for and what they have gone through over decades. I simply do not wish the current situation in Myanmar to be misrepresented on a global stage.
Whats the demand of civilians?
You are correct
Christians want to take over Myanmar
Myanmar 🇲🇲 a great Buddhist country and ties with India, Sri Lanka and all Buddhist countries in Asia
Great country in killing innocent women and children belong to the Rohingya?
That was a very good explanation of Myanmar's history and the reasons for its problems. I thought that Myanmar / Burma also had a long history of conflict with Thailand but that might have been too much to cover in this short video
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.
Unlike Indian leader in WW2 , Burmese leader was young and stubborn . Also has little knowledge, only know fight back to get independent. If Burmese leader were smart like Indian leader at that time , the current situation of the Myanmar might be different . Which will become more peaceful neighborhood

Thank for sharing Myanmar 😊
Wow that's a small.and easy brush up guvenby palki..❤❤ thanks for it....
Great lessons of history 👍
Thanks
I support the people of Myanmar
get some rights first
Lol nobody cares.
Indians brought in Myanmar in British times were neglected by Mother India like Pakistan Hindus. Till now Indian origins in Myanmar are helpless
Bitter truth
😂Burmese itself are helpless...
@@devongrace2474 not funny
Thankyou pretty madam❤
alll Love to save the myanmar. ❤❤❤
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
Please help our country ❤😢
Mayanmar people voted against partition with India, British purposefully seperated Burma from India
Wow, interesting. Even if one argues that the two countries/regions were never historically under one government, they wanted unity with India, for good reasons.
😂 Told by your forefathers probably
@@Paradigm_shift0 What did your forefathers tell you?
Free Myanmar People fr crazy Junta 🙏😔
the Karen people will complain to the manager.
Pray for the peace of Myanmar.
we love india from myanmar❤
India does not help people of Myanmar, Thailand more open door.
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.
Then kindly send your fake hypothetical 2 million indians back and take your Rohingyas and other Burmese, they are creating lots of problems here .
You are right
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.
Why the world not help Myanmar 😢💔
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😢😢
Yes, but if the price of ending the conflict means I don't get to rule, then... no.
There is no government it's the worst dictatorship after north Korea and Eritrea in the whole world. It's a military corrupt rule very similar political elite like Pol pots Cambodia. It's a country in terror for ages... There is no support revels or gov. There is only the people need to be free! From a crazy last century old dictatorship and terror rule at any cost!
There is lot of difference in thinking so the army junta will keep having conflict 😐
Great history lesson of the country we now call Myanmar.
Thank you for explained the civil war between Karen people and Burmese military. Thank you
We Indians really have some interesting neighbours. 😅❤
Not a funny
Yah none of them advocated or even tried honestly to build a plural, secular, democratic, open society. India itself is not perfect or ideal that way, but India tried and for the most part, succeeded. It's almost as if there is a conspiracy globally, to keep India's neighbours petty, small, whiny, ethno-centric, paranoid, insecure. Very immature.
Despite being 90% Buddhist, and the rebel ethnic groups are also Buddhists (except Chins who are Christians), they could still not live in peace with each other.
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.
I really appreciate this video. This is information that Western media would never share because it holds their fellow British accountable. The world's longest civil war in Myanmar is primarily a result of the British's divide-and-conquer policy during their colonial rule in Myanmar from 1825 to 1948.
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!
Thank u
U are from Myanmar?
@@Adarsh-b6v no I'm from India ...
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.
In 1560, Manipur wasn't a Hindu kingdom. Hinduism only came in Kangleipak today's Manipur only in 1st quarter of 1700 before that the kingdom followed their own religion called Sanamahism
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
I think your .... delusional..
@@fullstar655 umm why?
It looks like Myanmar's rebuilding is almost impossible. Now, I know the Chin resistance groups near the Indian border have started fighting each other, just like in Shan State. There are too many ethnic groups that will not get along and will fight each other to the end.
Thanks you for your repost, I am Mon National
May the followers of buddha be victorious
Interesting
Thank you for sharing I’m Karen people too we want all ethnic groups have their own country independent states 🥰😫
Will never happen
Wdym? will never happens? You don’t know what will happen in the future we believe in ourselves that’s why we fight with Myanmar military.
@@ectehnay You're winning because of the Bamar PDF. You've been fighting for how many generations now? Only when the Bamar from the center join, you can speak about independence. Remember that.
Sad
India should be a friend of Myanmar people. We need to help them build national institutions but take no side!
What you suggest is next to impossible. It always involves taking a side.
@@JohnAdams-vd5dcMyanmar has too many different ethnics to be able to do that but imagine if Myanmar is civilized.... Both India Myanmar and China would be very prosperous
India’s Foreign policy is neutral policy. India doesn’t take any side. Always stays in middle. India wants to be with Myanmar people and also India is supporting Military who is killing its own people.
And rohingyas are entering here illegally and our demography is changing slowly☹️
@@nyizaw8335 So? Canada has a lot of ethnicities and they made it work, why can't the people of Myanmar?
Every ethnic group should be given equal proportions of representation to establish the esteem of governing and contributing to the nation's policy framing and nurturing nationalism uploading their unique and historical ethnic identities.
stability and myanmar are antonyms. Nobody can help also. U can find true definition of hopelessness in that country situation.
❤
Yes
Thk u!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ informative clip of Myaar history!!! impressive😅😅😅
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
Nice palki for referring manipur as hindu kingdom. plz be aware I love ur news
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
75 years is a long time to be fighting. If you spent 75 years building instead, imagine the living standards of the people of Myanmar today.
Heheh go easy bro u never understand oppression @@cashewnuttel9054
Why Myanmar military genocide of civilians,so many people's so sad anywhere,to arkan so many Rohingya patient and died,
Hello Buddhism and Buddha is from NEPAL
Yes you're right Shree Buddha was from Nepal but Buddhism was spread by Ashoka, Chola kings and King Kanishka to East Asia or SE Asia and even he got enlightenment at Bodhgaya in Bihar under Bodhi tree and at time there was no border among nations and not even today. So, it's waste of time talking about it and not even our countries follow it as a major religion.
@@subhangikumari1364 it's a very silly topic, brought up by insecure, small minded Nepalese, who seem to have nothing better to do than criticise and be paranoid about, India. Not saying all Nepalese are like that, but many are.
@@subhangikumari1364be thankful to brit uniting u guys or else there would have been many states today in so called India today
@@TonetteDelatorre Your country was also a State in Bharat not today's but ancient Bharat and Brit divided us for your knowledge in terms of State or Language based barriers of North and South or culture but we are still united that is thanks to God not Brits. There policy was to divide and rule not to civilize us.
Myanmar is always at in Civil war Kalar(Indian) Gawtama's ideology.
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.
Yes you're right. I also want to say it. Thank You.
Palki Sharma 👍
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
So many inaccuracies starting from the pronunciation of Karen, then not mentioning Arakan, then Manipur was not a part of India during the Burmese war, and many more inaccuracies. Phew! Oh Palki and FirstPost!
She's not perfect, but at least she/they are making an earnest effort. What are the Chinese or other media saying about the issue. I shudder particularly about the Chinese/CCP media.
Kukiland/Zale'ngam = Lushai Hills/Mizoram of 🇮🇳 + Chittagong Hill Tracts of 🇧🇩 + Chin Hills of 🇲🇲
Please Support The Cause!
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
the army stoking ethnic tensions does do that, you want freedom from their oppression but not the whole country as they didn't really do anything
Only a proper democratic country can provide you peace and prosperity. Others are always there to take advantage. Don't you see China slowly swallowing small countries?
Your video is about the past Myanmar, not a Present Myanmar. Everyone who would support Military should find about current Military Coup.. Although there was some ethnic groups like Kachin, Shan, Chin, Karen, Burma, we all are fighting against Military in united, Although Burmese didn't unite with other ethnic groups in the past, currently they all have same goals fighting against Military leaders who just looking for their benefits, not for the people .. We're hoping for Democracy..
Myanmar must restore a democratic form of govt.
Well researched and equally well presented...
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!
sangh is not a poilitical party. But according to khangress india isn't based on hinduism, thats why they divided india in such a way that muslims can live anywhere in south asia but hindus can only remain alive in india.
But Hinduism itself supports plurality.

Buddha was actually a reformer to correct the ways of the followers of Vedas .
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
Many Shan Principalities(Not Kingdom)!
Jai hind my respected mam 🙏 ❤
good history
Myanmar's have many ethnic groups (135) English conquered Burma and ruled to fight against each others not to organize to british. For example, they ruled by making a difference between the Buddhists who were the majority and the Christians they preached
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.
Sorry. In our history, there is no rohingar ethnicity in Myanmar.
British divided and ruled us which had resulted today's unrest and battles within sadly. 😢
In manipur the war is called "7 yrs devastation" Manipur king wins back the land
By bootlicking the British,that's how..😂
Just because of British and Burmese contract.
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.
I don't know why all international media explore it?
“ارم ذات لاعماد ۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ و فرعون ذلاتاد اننھم تغو فی البلاد فا اکثرو فیھا الفساد ثمہ ربک علی ھم سوط العزاب ۔

This war never ending.
Myanmar should join Union of India
They are not telling the whole story..........
I know right... she forgot to mention how this evil sorceress placed some sort of mind control spell on these people that will make them fight each other so that she can pick them off one by one. And the only way to undo this mind control is by using the same spell on said sorceress and getting her to break the spell.
The problem is, nobody knows where she is.
6:27 not princely states of Assam its Ahom kingdom Bor Axom ☝🏻
Thank you for this insightful video
That's how it is in Nigeria today
Myanmar should be divided into small independent states
Yeah.
This is one colony that should have never asked for independence in the first place. Why do people do that anyway? Do they believe that if they rule themselves, everything will be great? Do they just want their own country? Nationalism?
There are a lot of countries all over the world that got independence only to sink into extreme poverty, extremism, paralyzing corruption, despotic government. Why choose independence and risk going that route, instead of remaining under another nation's rule with guaranteed peace and prosperity?
How Rohingya are stable inside more conflicts long time.
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🎉
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.
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.
