Burmese Treat Charms Gourmets of Chennai

The Tamil population in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, popularly known as Burma, during the 19th century was pretty substantial.

As a matter of fact, people from the Tamil community assumed positions of great significance in regional administration and were highly influential.

It was during the early 1960s, the internal conflict of Myanmar pushed a considerable share of Tamil population to bid adieu to Burma.

Tamil refugees, who returned from the restless Burma, got settled all over the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Today, it is not a big deal to see the Burma bazaars located across the cities of Tamil Nadu like Tiruchirappalli (near Teppakulam, Mainguard Gate) and Chennai.
