Why do khmer people try to claim Thai traditional culture and Arts of Thailand?
If anyone has followed the situation of
Khmerians movements during this period, I think that many of you will feel the same way about why khmerian has become more and more ferocious lately. Increasingly stronger until sometimes it starts looking scary.
If you were to compare Khmer with something Probably not jealous of Thai dramas that are popular in Cambodia.
Does everyone feel the same? Now jealous one like Khmer. If she wants something that belongs to the heroine, she will immediately snatch it from heroine’s hand. When the heroine snatches it back, she will say that this is mine.
You're the one who stole it from me.
Do you sound familiar? This is clearly the role of a villainess in a Thai drama that aired in Cambodia.
If we are to question why Khmerians are able to play the role of the jealous villain in a role that OSCAR go to be able to do.
There are many sources of knowledge that give answers in the same direction. Khmer has crazily included history subjects in the curriculum at every level. From primary school to university.
It is said that in a Khmer school bag there are at least 3 history textbooks for daily study. And each volume is separated into an epic, don't know how many parts. And of course, there is content written in every book that makes Siam be the villain in the eyes of Khmerians children.
In this regard, many distortions of history have been found in the aforementioned Khmer textbooks that attempt to write Siam as a villain beyond repair and wrote the script to portray the khmerians as being invaded, trampled, bullied, robbed of various cultures which looked like people with bipolar disorders.
Some days say that Siam is a wild person. Wandering from southern China. Not even wearing any clothes.
But another day said that the Siamese army were bandits who invaded and caused the Khmer Empire to ruin, Inspite of the other day it was said that the Khmer Empire was the greatest in this region. In conclusion, Siam walked around naked with two bare hands and invaded Cambodia.
Who boasts of being the greatest and mightiest in this region, right? Khmer? This is the logic of the Khmer academics who write these contradictory history textbooks.
You shouldn't be surprised that their products turned out to be the Khmer that we see today.
These distorted history textbooks are like addictive drugs that have a profound effect on the nervous system. We have seen the diversity of emotions of Khmer people who consume these historical substances. When it stimulates the brain to release chemicals of happiness. They will have an emotional aesthetic.
They can sit and post pictures of Angkor Wat walls on social media all day and along with describing the greatness that the kings of Tamil Nadu of India had created as a model for everything in the world. If they take more than the dosage, they will have a hallucinatory feeling. Chasing the neighbors all over. Be suspicious of everyone around them.
Khmer’s jealous emotions in the style of a villain, jealous woman in the drama which can stimulate their jealousy glands specially well. Effective immediately. When they see Thailand standing out is famous on the world stage or see something beautiful in Thailand that the world admires, they will fight for it.
They want to take it as their own.
By using fake keywords from history that was made their national keywords, for example Siam
stole our culture, it belonged to us before, or the khmer was born before Siam. Or it was recorded on the walls of Angkor wat in order to claim the righteousness of taking everything from Thailand, so it can be concluded why they dare to brazenly take what was in our hands.
No difference from being envious. Then they announced to the world that Siam had stolen theirs. This distorted history has brought khmer back into the shadow of Thai culture again.
Which is no difference from yearning for the past. Once under the rule of Siam for more than 400 years, if we look back in the past when the Khmers began to restore the country. After the war began to calm down.
Khmers begin to search for the lost cultural jigsaw of their time being stopped from the world clock by the fate of their country.
By requesting Thailand to help fill in the missing parts and create some identity that is its own identity that is different from Siam. So that it is remembered on the world stage.
Thus the Sampot was born and has been designated as the main national costume of the Khmers ever since. With the country's tragedies repeated over and over again. Khmer people who have gone through difficult times together.
Therefore, it is not difficult to assimilate Khmer into one. So we've seen pictures of Cambodians proudly wearing their Sampot suits over the decades.
