Myanmar or Burma

One day , i talked with one of my best friend , i told him that mainly people of Myanmar are the tribe from China . He said it's really impossible . We had an argument from then on . I told him that Myanmar origin is from China with a mixture of pure Indian -Hindu culture . He said it's totally bullshit . And then our argument lead to the Myanmar or Burma . I told him that Myanmar is correct ! Why ?? Have anyone of you read history ever ? History of our country before English colonial time ? ever ?? Is it Mon-Myanmar Kyout Sar or .. Mon-Bahmar Kyout Sar for King Kyan Sit Thar ? We have mainly 7 ethnics , Kachin, Kayar, Kayin ,Chin, BHAMAR, Mon , Rakkhine, & Shan . All together of us is Myanmar . Burma is the name that British people called us as an easy way .

And look at what do they left ? A full time crisis over the name sake . One friend said they will take Burma as the official name because Daw Aung San Su Kyi approved it . Why ?? Why don't people read history or am i wrong in it ?
Why ? Is the name really really that much important fot the developpement of Myanmar ? for all of the people who belong to the country called Myanmar ??
For what reason the name Burma or Myanmar really important .. Do anyone please tell me if i'm less educated .

And one reader of my blogs said that he's confuse about me as i said i'm 100% arakanese and then again i'm burmese . If i said overall , i'm burmese , (someone who live in the country Myanmar ) but yes as a ethnic , i'm pure 100% arakanese . So don't get confuse ok ?
