Abstract	:	Myanmar is a country of both the majority Burmans who represent the majority of Buddhism and the minority ethnic groups who represent the majority of Christianity. However, the minority ethnic groups experience discrimination and alienation in their native land. In response to the problem of Burman domination and ethnic discrimination, I would argue that the minority ethnic groups have a twofold task. One is the minority ethnic group’s responsibility of postcolonial resistance to Burmanization, and the other alternative is their vision of struggle for a reconciling co-existence with Burmans as their fellow citizens in the same nation.
