Myanmar History from Myanmar Perspectives Programme will run for seven-days from 20 to 26 November 2018.

There have been different perspectives and interpretations of Myanmar history since it was viewed by different people. The perspectives and interpretations of Myanmar scholars, however, are not too well known because Myanmar scholars publish mostly in Myanmar language.
