Dear Om bros, There are young generation that people like you may consider as ignorant or arrogant or whatever but these people are not enough stupid or mental ill to believe or reproduce culture in which certain people of old generation always opted as their ultimo ideology and way of life which contribute to the destruction of Khmer culture, Nation and heritage. I hope to end this kind of culture before it is too late. Apparently certain people are not ready to live free by their own but maintain myth of little monarchy like the one sihanouk to licking these people behinds to get recognition or position.
In Buddhism, laying, killing is a crime but I see millions Buddhist followers act not different from simple cronies or killers and still proud of themselves and culture they produced. Sad isn't !!: Few questions needed to be asked here: Is it because Sihanouk that Khmer got independence from French or it is just because French has to retire from Indochina for losing war to China and Vietcong but they populated sihanouk to be used against Khmer later? Does this independence serve Khmer interest or something else? Does Khmer people really got independence from French or Khmer just fled from French hands to Yuon domination and genocides? ----- Original Message ----- From: Kenneth So To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 8:42 PM Subject: The Road to Khmer Independence Dear All, Cambodia was celebrating her 55th anniversary of Khmer independence from France yesterday. Most of the younger Khmer generation may not be aware of how we obtain the independence from France. Every Cambodians have contributed to this struggle, but the main architect of the road to Khmer independence was King Father Norodom Sihanouk. He was brilliant in his approach and a true Khmer nationalist who dared to go against the French government that had put Him on the throne twelve years earlier. It was a bold move by His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk because His action against the French could have cost Him the throne. Enclosed please find an article (The Road to Khmer Independence) that I wrote in collaboration with a friend of mine about how we obatined independence from France. http://www.caraweb.org/articles/roadtokhmerindependence.html Enjoy! -- Kenneth So Aryasatya (Sanskrit) Chattari Ariyasachchani (Pali) Chatuk Arey Sachak (Khmer) The Four Noble Truths (English) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
