India is a vast country in the period of 1st and second world war many countries like Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka and many countries got separated and granted them as new constitutions.
In these separation and new formations, there are many tears, but to year's passage, all these were covered up and thrown away.
How many of you know that about 2% of Burma population is Indian-Tamil people. The Chola empire had trade relationships with various Burma kingdom. During the British colonial era (1858-1947) Tamils worked as labours in rice fields & rubber plants. In the year of 1940-1942 many malasian, Myanmar, burma Tamils were forced by the Japanese to be as labour for railway track between Thailand and Burma on 415 km, in this project nearly 1,50,000 tamils we're died due to Japanese torture, poisonous animals, illness, exhaustion. This project is known as death railway. Due to these Burmese who were Tamil refugees at that period of time (1960) the govt of India set a land for them now I.e called as Burma Bazaar.
