N2  - Suggests that Burma's present nationalistic paranoia can be traced back to colonial times when locals were effectively excluded from the controlling society in their own country. Following independence in 1948 the positions were reversed and there has been a concerted attempt to prevent foreign influences, the dilution of national culture and any loss of state control. This strategy has produced a self perpetuating condition which fears external influences and any form of change
