Thank you very much for your comments. I think acceptance or non-acceptance is not the main issue. The categorization of 132 ethnic groups was not mentioned only in SPDC newspaper but also in research papers around the world. If we think this assertion is the SPDC propaganda, we have to challenge this assertion with literature evidence and other related evidences. I think we should form a small research group including historians, anthropologists, politicians, ethnic leaders and writers like sayar maung swan yi to challenge this assertion.

I found there are a lot of BSPP and SPDC propaganda being accepted all over the World and wondered why our opposition groups did not form an anti-propaganda department to challenge this. At my university, no matter how I explained to use Burma instead of Myanmar, most of the people including professors do not accept. They said UN, World Bank and IMF use Myanmar.

For some areas, I think we should not wait until Burma gets Democracy. We should put efforts to challenge these issues in addition to the efforts to get international symphathy.
