A KIA fighter who does not speak much Burmese tries to reply to Burmese reporters while a village behind him - a village called Nam San Yang, is being burnt by Burmese government soldiers. Whenever they suffer casualties, angry Burmese soldiers would always terrorize nearby ethnic villagers. If lucky and villagers are not arrested/tortured/shot/killed, at least cats, dogs, pigs, hens, cows, buffalos, etc will be shot and killed, properties robbed, houses burnt. —
Kachin, tribal peoples occupying parts of northeastern Myanmar (Burma) and contiguous areas ofIndia (Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland) and China (Yunnan). The greatest number of Kachin live in Myanmar (roughly 790,000), but some 150,000 live in China and a few thousand in India. Numbering about 1012,000 in the late 20th century, they speak a variety of languages of the Tibeto-Burman group and are thereby distinguished as Jinghpaw, or Jingpo (Chingpaw [Ching-p’o], Singhpo), Atsi, Maru (Longvo), Lachid, Nung (Rawang), and Lisu .
The traditional Kachin religion is a form of animistic ancestor cult entailing animalsacrifice. As a result of the arrival of American and European missionaries in Burma beginning in the late 19th century, a majority of the Kachin are Christian, mainly Baptist and Roman Catholic. Among the Kachin in India, Buddhism predominates.
