Saya San

Saya San (Burmese: ဆရာစံ, Burmese pronunciation: [sʰəjà sàɰ̃]; 24 October 1876 – 28 November 1931), originally named Yar Kyaw, was a prominent Burmese physician, monk, and leader of the Saya San Rebellion (1930–1932) in British-controlled Burma. The uprisings leading to the Saya San Rebellion are regarded as a pivotal anti-colonial movement in Southeast Asia. Discussions about Saya San and the rebellion continue to be a significant area of study, particularly within Asian academic circles.
