Like them, we are also the mixed-blood descendants of Pyu, Sak, and Kanyam.
The myth of a pure Kshatriya bloodline will make a mockery of your idiosyncrasies.
Does our civilized world still permit the deprivation of the dignity of a community?  
The community is rounded up and fenced off like animals.
The community has been denied their inherent rights.
The community has no choice but to envy the privileges that others enjoy as the gift of God.
For those in the world with a conscience, their very existence is enough reason to protect them.
There are genocides in Gu Dar Pyin, in Inn Din, and elsewhere,
That took the innocent lives of even children and the elderly.
None of the victims know what sin they have committed.
But when they meet God hereafter, they could ask,
“Are we free from hell now?”
