Annotation The author describes the condition of people in British Burma at annexation. British Burma comprised Arakan,
Tenasserim and Pegu in 1862 and was administered by a Chief Commissioner. The British annexed Upper Burma in Jan.
1886 and this paper deals with the general condition of the Myanmar people whose traditions were still very strong, and
barely tinged with Western influences. The new administrative and economic systems brought about major changes in
the social order. The author emphasizes economic conditions-- revenues and taxes--and colonial education at that time.
