Untitled[edit]

Will people please write something with real english and proper grammar, and not kindergarten mindset? I find that some people will write all the issues they want on any topic they find relevant. Why not create a proper page, with proper styling and refercing, rather than deface this one about a famous Burmese general?

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not somebody's private homepage. Have some sense, some respect, and most of all, some brains! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uthantofburma (talk • contribs) 16:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You even dare not sign your name and insult others.

You want to be a partner in the Genocide crimes committed by a Burmese ‘hero’ on the Ahon Shans? Want to distort history? In denial state? Before putting citation needed, please read back my edition where I had given enough reference.--Darz kkg (talk) 03:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just now, very late only, I found out the above unsigned coward's comments in erasing the facts I had given with proper citation and reference (at that time). Just look at that rude person's notes in erasing my facts: 11:34, July 6, 2008‎ 162.83.136.63 (talk)‎ . . (2,405 bytes) (-1,117)‎ . . (conbsidering the fact he lived 200 years ago... this is not relavent to today, and accusing someone of something they did 200 years ago is very dumb)

Just read his very good English, grammar and spellings. Because I was busy at that time, with my job and other more important Wiki articles, I failed to notice his insults. So I do not wish to blame other Wiki Editors for not reprimanding that kind of person's erasing of facts and style of editing. Darz kkg (talk) 12:01, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By the way...In the first line , he wrote :

Will people please write something with real english. (should be in capital E.)
conbsidering should be considering.
refercing should be referring
relavent should be relevant
He said I am dumb and to have some brains but he is blinded about his faults, mistakes and have no properly functioning brains at all.Darz kkg (talk) 12:10, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He should notice that this article is a history article. So when he wrote,"(conbsidering the fact he lived 200 years ago... this is not relavent ...and accusing someone of something they did 200 years ago."is some what awkward. (Sorry, spellings are copied and pasted as he wrote.)He was not thinking about what he meant but just wished to attack me and erased the shameful, GENOCIDE and ETHNIC CLEANSING of their hero.Darz kkg (talk) 12:28, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier service[edit]

Does anyone have more information on his earlier service? All the history books I've seen basically begin mention of Bandula as commander-in-chief starting in 1819 with his Manipuri expedition. But he couldn't have been given the responsibility to be the commander-in-chief without prior experience. Thant Myint-U's books mention that Bandula did "special assignments" and achieved rapid promotions becoming governor of Ahlone-Monywa. The most likely way he could have achieved these promotions is through his military service. (Bandula wasn't known for anything else. He wasn't multi-talented like Myawaddy Mingyi U Sa.)

We know that during Bandula's time at the court (circa early 1800s), the Konbaung dynasty went to war with Siam (1803-1804, 1809-1812), and invaded Manipur (1813) and Assam (1817, 1819). He must have participated in at least the first two Assamese wars if not also in the 1813 Manipur war.Hybernator (talk) 16:03, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I suspected, Bandula was not the commander-in-chief in 1819. I've finally come across a book (History of Burma by U Ba Than), which states that he was a deputy commander-in-chief in the Manipuri campaign. Even then, he must have participated in earlier wars. He couldn't have gotten a deputy commander position without prior experience. Hybernator (talk) 18:15, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
