If Myanmar Immigration Officers remarked that you are a mixed-blooded person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maung Yin, Ah Ba want to tell you: no one is \u201cpure\u201d \u2014 everyone is mixed, so look in the mirror and accept it<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very first case of \u201cmixed blood\u201d started with Anawrahta<\/strong>. Kyansittha witnessed to that. There was a saying: \u201cThe start of Kala (Indian) blood mixing was Anawrahta.\u201d<\/em> That could have become a proverb. As for Byatwi, Byatta, and Bai Sab \u2014 no need to mention. When artists were brought in after the Thai wars, Shan\/Thai blood got mixed in. Later, Pauk Phaws\u2019 blood trickled into King Narathihapate\u2019s bloodline too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time in Mrauk-U<\/strong>, Bengali blood was flowing by the gallon. Kings themselves took Kala names and titles, engraving Kala scripts on Royal Coins. When Bamas won over them and the Mahamuni Buddha image was moved to Mandalay, those bloodlines came along together\u2014 producing \u201cRoyal servant blood,\u201d \u201cRoyal guardian blood,\u201d\u201d Royal Archers\u201d  and so on. Even the Masjid near Mandalay\u2019s Mahamuni is said to belong to those descendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most mixed era was Taungoo times<\/strong>. King Bayinnaung\u2019s brother, Natshinnaung, the most brilliant king of poets who sang: \u201cLooking toward the army front\u2026 the flags flying in the wind, scattering everywhere\u2026\u201d<\/em> (Amen). He shifted his religion, happily embracing Christian Portuguese blood. Meanwhile Bayinnaung, obsessed with getting the true Buddha tooth relic from Ceylon, sent ships and weapons \u2014 and in return with Tamil blood. Whether the relic was genuine is debated, but the Tamil-Kala bloodlines are historically attested (The proof was a saffron robed monk, so I dare not say it aloud).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Myaedu King, the captives after winning the wars were full of Hindus, Muslims, Christians \u2014 all spread in Sagaing Division (and Mandalay). Chinese generals like Nasaruddin left Panthay (Chinese Muslim) blood in Kachin State. Opium lords brought Communist Chinese (Kuomintang also)<\/strong> leftand blood into Kawlin and Wuntho (and Shan States). The descendants of Bo Thee carried Kadu blood into Moehne and Moekaung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merchants from Punjab and Malm\u0101n traded in Inwa, leaving traces in central Burma. Manipuri Asan mixed with Chin blood, producing distinct looks around Pakokku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the British colonial era<\/strong>, when \u201cmasters\u201d were desired, mixing with Bo blood was common. Burmese who wanted to curry favor even kept Bo in the front room and called them \u201cmaster\u201d with relish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, economic migrants brought Chetty (South Indian) blood<\/strong>. If you want proof, look at families of Japanese-resistance actor Thiha<\/strong>. Or check around Maung Yin\u2019s neighborhood: dark-skinned, thick-browed Buddhists with hooked lashes \u2014 that\u2019s Chetty-Kala descent. Was it because they couldn\u2019t refuse a marriage proposal, or because they loved the Chetty chest hair too much, or simply for money? Ask yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Zayawaddi area<\/strong>, Ajay Devgn and Amrita Bhajan<\/strong> spread their bloodlines. Even Subhas Chandra Bose gathered recruits from there to fight Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surati blood<\/strong> is testified by Aung San Market itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Japanese era, there was even a saying: \u201cThe master returned home to Japan and left the pregnant wife in Burma.\u201d<\/em> Among Japanese-mixed families, artist Ko Khin Wun<\/strong> was most respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the 14th century, Panthay miners in Namtu mixed with Shan blood. The Chinese presence was so grand that even Min Theinkha wrote them into his stories. Pale-skinned, short-nosed Buddhists \u2014 surely carrying a drop or two of Arti or That Kaw blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Low Pang and Chiang Kai-shek (Kuomintang) groups<\/strong> also mixed with Shans. Some of their descendants became ethnic leaders, even attending the Panglong Conference (I and 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After WWII, famine drove Chinese into Burma. Their mixed bloodlines now dominate Mandalay with big houses and flashy cars. Real Communist once drank liquor under the rain-god shrine, but now they build monasteries, donate on Sabbath (U Pothe) days but form evening drinking circles \u2014 (say \u201cSadhu\u201d three times Maung Yin!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In southern Burma, the Salons and Pashus<\/strong> carry Malay blood strongly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Maung Yin, let me ask you: What\u2019s your skin color \u2014 white, black, brown, or yellow? Are your brows thick or thin? Eyes narrow or wide? Lashes hooked or straight? Nose short, long, flat, sharp? Lips thin or thick? Hair dense or sparse? Beard growing or absent like a woman\u2019s? Look carefully in the mirror. Then decide: what mixed blood are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you still think you\u2019re \u201cpure blood,\u201d slap your cheek and read the whole thing again from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maung Yin, Ah Ba want to tell you: no one is \u201cpure\u201d \u2014 everyone is mixed, so look in the mirror and accept it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
