The true poet is a one-man nation.
On multiculturalism
On all-embracing culture.
[sayanyein said... this article was written about one decade ago.
At present negative impacts of globalization are taking place.
Anti immigrant policy of Donald Trump seems to become popular.
Anti immigrant policy are taking place in Europe .].

Dear friends,
Because of jet-travels and instant communication via many global networks such as CNN ,BBC and Internet, the world seems to become relatively “smaller”, and looks like a “big village” where every event (big or small) is seen and heard by everybody. The word “global village” is coined to describe this phenomenon .Suitable culture for global village should be all-embracing ‘multiculturalism’. Definition of “culture” according to a dictionary is “all the arts, beliefs, and social institutions etc., Characteristics of a community”. In fact culture is social glue which binds communities to live in peace and harmony. The concept of ‘multiculturalism’ is invented for new world order. I would like the reader to get a glimpse of the idea “multiculturalism” from a poem composed by a famous poet, Derek Walcott. Walcott is a west-Indian-born poet. He represented his “identity-card” in the following poem:
“I’m just a red nigger who loves the sea,
I had a sound colonial education,
I have Dutch, nigger and English in me,
And either I’m nobody or I’m a one-man nation “.
He’s right. The true poet is a one-man nation. He was born and brought up in multicultural environment.
Dear graduates of MU, "globalization" is taking place at unprecedented pace and
accordingly we should adopt all-embracing culture.

From Mandalay with love.

harmony.
The true poet is a one-man nation.
And either I’m nobody or I’m a one-man nation .
