Thakin (master), the common name for the Dobama Asi-ayone (We Burmans) Society, an amalgamation of two nationalist, communist-minded student groups, mostly from Rangoon University, who sought
collaboration with the Japanese to gain Burma's independence from the UK. ‘Thakin’ was the usual manner of addressing Europeans and its members wanted to show their equality with them. Their leader,
Aung San, fled Burma and helped create the
Burma Independence Army with 30 other Thakins. This eventually gave them political dominance in Burma under the Japanese occupation and the Thakin Party flag became the national flag, and the party song the national anthem. See also
nationalism.
