Scottish citizens have voiced their future. U.S. and the West nervously followed the result. The fate of over 300 years of union fell in hands of Scottish and those who live in the region during the referendum. The 'no' vote is just 10 points but this historical political moment has changed the mentality of entire Great Britain. The Parliament has opened the doors of transparency and to grant much of the political autonomy to Scotland.
Burma's historical "Punglon" Pact rectified by belated Bogyoke Aung San was not a mistake. He has a vision of future Burma. He knows all ethnic groups deserve full autonomy and have right to determine their own fates. His vision was never materialized. Prime minister U Nu, who succeeded him, blindly take the nation down into Buddhism-led autocratic state. Again, Gen Ne Win, downplayed the multi-ethnic plurality into 135 national ethnic groups with his hand-picked historians. This magical number created by Socialist Government is a grave mistake! Sadly, for many reasons, no one dare to challenge his indoctrination.
We all have to understand every piece of land in any given region/country on this planet is inhabited with immigrants. No single historian/archeologist can deny the fact of population migration to this day.
Political and ethnic leaders should respect and acknowledge the desire of their own citizens/people. Separation is not the answer to quit one's political superiority. But it is the duty of the governing body to grant the genuine and full autonomy to ethnic minorities. The idea of Federalism is great but it should be charted with pluralistic full autonomy.
Burma's standing Constitution will be challenged if the vision of the late BG Aung San does not materialize in the timely manner.
