Baratlamuri Province

"For the Cadasan province that existed from 1766 to 1920, see Baratlamuri Province (1766-1920)" Baratlamuri, officially the Province of Baratlamuri (Tufur: Provensai Baratlamuri, ), was a province of Cadasa from 1958 to 1989.

History
Baratlamuri under Cadsan rule occurred from 1958 to 1989, when Cadasa invaded Baratlamuri.

From April 9 to October 19, 1967, Pekhoi, the then-capital of Baraltamuri, was the site of one of the largest and deadliest demonstrations and protests ever held in Ondalsa. The six-month long Pekhoi riots involved Baraltamurian nationalists and activists fighting against Cadasan rule. The Cadasan authorities respond by murdering the rioters. As many as 50,000 are killed, and the Cadasan military continues to track down people involved in the protests until the early 1990s.

In 1988, Baratlamurian activists, later along with protesters in the 1989 Cadasan protests, started the 1988–89 Baratlamurian protests that pressured Cadasan President Aarush Chiu to give Baratlamuri independence. On December 21, 1989, it became independent as the Second Republic of Baratlamuri after snap elections were held on December 2.

Cultural genocide
The Cadasan government practiced forms of cultural genocide in Baratlamuri. Pre-1989, the government's official view was that Baratlamuri was always considered to be part of Cadasa. All traditions, language, and people were imported from Cadasa. As a result, there was no such thing as "Baratlamurian culture".

Many Baratlamurian people were forced to learn Cadasan, and speaking Tufur, which was referred to as an uncivilized language was forbidden in public. Cadasan nationalism was introduced in schools. If someone said that they were Baratlamurian instead of Cadasan they were punished. Baratlamurian cultural traditions were repressed. Participants were jailed or even killed. The 1967 Pekhoi riots, calling for Baratlamurian independence, was suppressed by the Cadasan government, and a total of 50,000 people died, most of which were bystanders.

As much as 8,000 Baratlamurian people were imprisoned by Komilcad for being “anti-state”.

Legacy
In 2002, Cadasan president Elijah Chan formally apologized for the occupation of Baratlamuri. Today, although political and diplomatic relations between Cadasa and Baratlamuri have warmed up, many ordinary Baratlamurians and Cadasans still feel division amongst each other. Racism towards Baratlamurians is still somewhat common in Cadasa, especially by the generation that lived under martial law.
