Think about it--state sponsored racial violence, similarities between Burma and Ceylon--
My source, a high level BSPP cadre during 1967 anti-Chinese "rioting" in Rangoon told me the same, and video since 2011 of cold blooded attacks on Rohingya show the same--
in one case some hired? thugs were just beating at a Muslin owned building.
During Saffron Revolution
in 2007 a VOA broadcaster told me that thugs had been fed dhanbauk ( a special meat and rice dish) as payment to beat up the monks (led by U Gambira)
--however, now the army has its own pet racist monks.
