LET’S CHANGE THAT

      Kachin are Myanmar people and include in Mongoliantribe. Most of the people live in the upper part of Myanmar (Kachin state) and some live in Shan State and other places. There are six kinds of Kachin Ethic groups. The population of Kachin are around ( 600,000 ).
      The Kachin of the present time have to move to the urban place for education and business, mostly to Yangon and Mandaly. One-third of Kachin youth are in the City and abroad. They are educated and mordanize. They are creating new style of mordern dressing with their cultural pattern. whereas, in the rural area people are still praticing their old cultural pattern. So, the ruralyouth became apart from urban youth. But every cultural is changing because of globalization. and all ethnic groups have to face it everyday.
      So, to create new style of cultural dressing put new pattern of design in it to match the time being is the duty of not only the but also for the whole Kachin people.
