dbpprop:abstract
  • Burmese Indians are a group of people of Indian subcontinental ethnicity who live in Myanmar (Burma). While Indians have lived in Burma for many centuries, most of the ancestors of the current Burmese Indian community emigrated to Burma during its colonial period (between the mid 19th century and up to the separation of Burma from India in 1937). While they formed the backbone of the British presence in Burma (as soldiers, civil servants, and merchants), ethnic Indians in Burma today are largely barred from the civil service and military and are disenfranchised by being labeled as 'foreigners' and 'non-citizens' of Burma. They form approximately 2% (about 950,000) of the population of Burma.
