The Introduction to Tatmadaw Dynasty

The word "peasant" is derived from the 15th century French word païsant, meaning one from the pays, or countryside; ultimately from the Latin word pagus. The peasant sector occupies around 70 percent of Burma’s population and undoubtedly the most productive workforce in the country. Obviously, the country recognizes the powerful role of farmers in driving the country’s economic output and at one point Burma was the rice bowl of Asia but the Tatmadaw (military) has reduced it to the rice hole of Asia even though it is climbing back after 2011. But it is still the farming sector which usually suffers whenever a power struggle happens in the country because resistance fighters usually flew to the jungles of Burma to avoid prosecution and seek protection from the cruel Tatmadaw.
