Thakins History

Burmese nationalist group founded in 1930. It combined tradition with modernity, bringing together traditionalist Buddhist nationalist elements and fresh political ideals. Comprised mostly of disaffected students, they co-operated with the Japanese occupation during the Second World War, and are credited with the formation of the Burmese National Army in 1944.
