national anthem? Thank you

[skay+@xxxxxxxx]

Dear Saya U Thaung and Saya Kyaw Tint,
	Thank you very much for your help.  Your information about
the history are very enlightening.  The translation you gave me
is beautiful.  I still wonder, do people in Burma today use
national anthem in any occasion?  What about the Freeburma movement
of Daw Aungsan Sue Kyi? Do they use the same anthem?  
	Can you suggest some books I can read about Burmese Identity?
What does it mean to be Burmese?  I have a friend who was born in
Mandalay but came to the US since he was very young. He couldn't speak
or read and write Burmese at all.  I am learning the language together
with him from Prof.OKell's books and cassette.  We are discussing about
identity and confuse about what make one truely Burmese? 
	Reading some message how SLORC are criticizing Daw Sue Kyi, I
can't believe how marry a foreigner make one less Burmese than others.
How can a Burmese child who was born in foreign country obtain Burmese
identity (culturally not only nationality)? Can anyone enlighten me
further? 
	Thank you very much for both of your previous messages.
Sincerely,
Sue
