For those of you who enjoy podcasts, I enjoyed doing one last week with my friends from Insight Myanmar on the subject of my 2016 book Among the Headhunters. We ranged far and wide on the subject of Burma (then) and Myanmar (today). Indeed, much of the conversation was subsequently picked up by the Yangon-based newsletter Mizzima Weekly in its 13 July edition.

If you wish to listen to the podcast, you can do so here.

The distillation of the conversation in Mizzima is copied here, for those who don’t yet subscribe.

Enjoy!

Enjoyed reading your book Among The Headhunters. Regarding your last Paras I would add that the colonial administrators made huge mistakes in trying to repeat the " Divide and Rule" policies( intentional or otherwise) of the plains into this very ethnically complex region
