Dear Suan,

> Tibetans as indigenous native residents of Myanmar.

I am surprised that you are not more familiar with the history of your
birth-country. Not only are the Burmese related to the Tibetans (ever heard
of the Tibeto-Burman languages ?), but I believe that parts of Burma were
invaded by the Tibetans during the C8th CE, as well as being honoured by a
later visit from the Mongols under Qubilai Qan in medieval times. Many
people are not aware that the Tibetan armies travelled quite widely and
successfully in that period, not only did they occupy the Chinese capital
Changan for a while, but they also reached Varanasi for a short stay to
collect relics.

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
