Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the subject of divorce in Burmese Buddhist law, delving into the historical and cultural context of marriage and the complexities of its dissolution. The author, an esteemed judicial commissioner, examines the relevant passages in the ancient Dhammathat legal codes, seeking to reconcile them with the prevalent customs and practices of the time. Through careful analysis, the author challenges the notion that either spouse could end a marriage at their whim, emphasizing the need for consent or valid reasons for divorce. Drawing upon Buddhist teachings, social norms, and legal precedents, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the ethical and practical considerations surrounding the termination of marriage in Burmese society. Its insights shed light on the evolving nature of marital bonds and the role of law in upholding the sanctity of this institution.

Loose Leaf. Condición: Very Good. Correspondence from Chettiar in Tamil, from IIL in English. 9 letters from Chettiar and IIL, in manuscript and typescript; 10 pieces of correspondence from IIL on note cards with IIL letterhead; 1 IIL membership card for Chettiar. CONDITION: Overall Very Good, old folds, some splitting and tape repairs along folds of documents by IIL but Chettiar's letters largely free of wear or tear, text legible throughout. All documents now housed in sleeves that are mounted onto backing, but it remains easy to remove documents from enclosures. This collection contains English translations of Chettiar's letters, presumably made by the previous owner, who also wrote captions describing each piece of correspondence on their respective mounts. An evocative collection of correspondence document- ing an Indian nationalist organization's coercion of funds from a member of a prominent money-lending Burmese-Tamil family. These letters show the Indian Independence League's attempt to extort money from a wealthy man whom they had identified as being in a position to help "free India from bondage and for the maintenance of the Indian National Army." This was M.S.M. Somasundarum Chettiar, a 63-year-old merchant who operated his business on Strand Road, in Kyaiklat, a town in the Pyapon District of Burma. A recent historical study by Suppiah and Raja on the Chettiar families of Burma suggests that Somasundaram was part of a "distinguished ethnic group comprising the business class among Malaysian Indian-Tamils," who made their fortunes by lending money to the Indian working class in Burma. The Chettiar ethnic group boasted "a centuries long tradition as an indigenous banking caste in South India," and thus, due to a combination of "stringent business regulations during British colonialism in the Madras Presidency and economic opportunities in the newly opened British colonies in Southeast Asia," both the Indian working class in Burma and members of the Straits Settlement Chinese utilized "Chettiar agents in order to conduct bank transactions?in the middle of the nineteenth century." This reliance upon the Chettiar's services only increased by the turn of the twen- tieth century, as the demand rose for rubber and tin made in Southeast Asia. As "local Chinese and Malays with only small and medium capital sources relied on loans from Chettiar agents to develop land, plant rubber and open mines?Chettiar agents" became "known as the leading moneylenders" in late-colonial Burma. Somasundaram would thus have been part of a known community of capitalists "who accumulated capital for further expansion of their activities at the expense of the Indian working class." The Indian Independence League and the Indian National Army were closely intertwined movements during WWII, both led by Subhas Chandra Bose and governed by the Azad Hind Provisional Government in Exile.They worked to unite the Indian diaspora in Southeast Asia to support the cause of independence and sought military support from Japan to facilitate an armed wing for their movement. Primary source documentation of the Azad Hind government's activities is scant institutionally. We locate a scrapbook created by a member of the Indian National Army, held at the Institute of Social Research in the Netherlands, and a letter from Subhas Chandra Bose asking for a loan from the Hikari Kikan of Syonan, held by the National Library Board of Singapore. This would be the only comparable collection held in North America.A rich collection of correspondence highlighting the conflicting poles between Indian diasporic wealth and Indian nationalists' aspirations for the nation's self-rule (listing credit Pico Banerjee, Peek A Boo Rare Books & Ephemera).

Very good. Exhibits wear and toning along original fold lines. Size 8 x 10 Inches. This is a 1945 British Twelfth Army Christmas card map of Burma / Myanmar superimposed over a map of Europe. The card extends the Army's 'very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year' while at the same time providing a geography lesson for family and friends back in Britain. Drawn on the same scale, Burma appears in green and extends from central England to eastern Romania and covers a significant portion of continental Europe, allowing a British audience to relate to the vastness of the country. The Twelfth Army insignia, consisting of a Chinthe on a red background with a black stripe and 'XII' written along the bottom in white letters, adorns from front of the card. The British Twelfth Army in Burma On May 28, 1945, the British Twelfth Army was reconstituted so that it could take control of Burma from the Fourteenth Army. The Fourteenth Army was them tp train for a planned amphibious invasion of Malaya, which was projected to take place in August 1945. Japanese units were still active in Burma when the Twelfth Army took over and it assumed responsibility for reconquering the remaining territories. The Twelfth Army was based in Burma until November 1, 1945, when it was redesignated as the Burma Command.
