The Shan in Burma Politics
There is an old Burmese ethnic couple in their
drawing-room. The old man, in uniform, is jumping
up in a fury shouting. His wife sits trying to
placate him. Their daughter ('Democracy') is
sitting to one side crying with disappointment.
By her side her Shan boyfriend has come to ask
for her hand in marriage and has brought a tray
of eight presents - the 8 states of Federalism.
The Shan boy asks himself, "to stay and marry, or
to turn and go away?"
