Myanmar Naga - As it is
Loading...
Uploaded by girishmason on Dec 13, 2011
It is a sadly known fact that Myanmar (Burma) Nagas are one of the most isolated, least visited, poorly represented and severely under developed ethnic people in Burma and in the region. The only exposure the Burma Nagas has with the global community is during the New Year Festival held every year in the month January at one of the 'selected' townships whereby they gloriously enchant the visiting tourists and media with their vigorous traditional dance and music. It is no surprise that most tourist attraction materials (maps, brochures, flyers and other advertisements) about Burma are filled with colourful photos of the traditionally attired Nagas.
There is virtually no information on the actual living conditions, the day to day livelihood, needs and concerns, hopes and aspirations, limitations and difficulties and most importantly no factual data about the people, the land, resources and administration arrangements without which development plans and assistance cannot be developed. Communications (both transportation and telecommunication) is extremely poor and almost inaccessible. The little documentation available are mostly about the famous festival and what it offers and sadly even these limited information are poorly presented both in terms of facts & quality.
This project is developed to offer a reality and evidence based information in the form of photo documentation, not so much on how colourful and rich Nagas are culturally but, more on how they live, what their needs and realities are and, the potentials and possibilities to bring help and assistance to improve their situation, including access to communications, health care and education.
