soc.culture.burma
Burma / Myanmar: politics, culture and people.
Under a censoring junta, Burma had almost no domestic internet; this group was one of the few public online spaces where Burmese exiles, activists and scholars exchanged news — 8888 anniversaries, Aung San Suu Kyi’s detentions, sanctions debates.
The name question itself (Burma vs. Myanmar) was a permanent thread, treated by participants as the political statement it was.
