果敢族虽属于缅甸的一个合法少数民族,为缅甸的法定成员,具有缅甸的法律身份,但自缅甸独立至今,不被缅甸中央政府所真正接纳,遭受民族歧视,政治身份缺失,得不到应有的缅甸国民待遇,以及在长期的动乱下,果敢族与缅甸主流社会的联系渐趋疏远,这造成了果敢族对缅甸的国家认同问题。2011年上台的缅甸民选政府,催生了果敢族对缅甸的国家认同,但在根本性上,果敢族对缅甸的国家认同还处于初始阶段。为此,缅甸的民选政府要因势利导,着力推动果敢族对缅甸的国家认同。 Although a courageous ethnic group belongs to a legal minority in Myanmar and has the legal status of Myanmar as a legal member of Burma, since Myanmar’s independence so far has not been truly accepted by the Central Government of Myanmar, it has suffered ethnic discrimination and lacked political status. Some Burmese national treatment, and the long-term turmoil, the relationship between the courageous ethnic groups and the mainstream Myanmar society has become increasingly distant. This has led to the national identity of the courageous ethnic group in Burma. Burmese elected government, which took power in 2011, has given birth to the national identity of the brava people in Burma. However, fundamentally, the national identity of the Brava people is still in its infancy. To this end, the democratically elected government of Myanmar should make the best use of its efforts to promote the national identity of the courageous ethnic group in Burma.
