Minorities under Threat, Diversity in Danger: Patterns of Systemic Discrimination in Southeast Myanmar

Myanmar has often been cited as one of the most diverse countries in Asia. The government itself officially recognizes 135 taingyintha (translated in some cases as ‘ethnic groups’ or ‘indigenous races’) as nationals of Myanmar.

Ethnicity and conflict have been deeply interlinked since Myanmar’s independence from British colonial rule in 1948. Many ethnic leaders never accepted incorporation into the nation-state, while others preferred a federal system with full autonomy over their own areas.
