Thakins
The Thakins ((ビルマ語:သခင်) ''sa.hkang'', ; also spelled Thakhin) were a Burmese nationalist group formed around the 1930s and composed of young, disgruntled intellectuals. Drawing their name from the way in which the British were addressed during colonial times, thakin means "lord" or "master", just as the Indians called the British "The party's song, ''Myanmar Kaba Ma Kyei'' ("Till The End of the World, Burma") also became the country's first national song and eventually its national anthem.

==History==
The group was established in 1930 in Rangoon (Yangon) after Burmese Indian dock workers and their families were murdered by Bamars, who believed that the Indians had taken jobs that rightfully belonged to them.〔A first hand account appears in Trials in Burma (1937) by Maurice Collis〕 The Dobama organisation was nationalist in nature, and supported Bamar supremacy. Its members used the Burmese word ''thahkin'' "master" as their titles. The slogan of the organisation was "Burma is our country; Burmese literature is our literature; Burmese language is our language. Love our country, raise the standards of our literature, respect our language." Dobama Asiayone was keen assimilating ethnic minorities into Burman culture, and most of its activities stemmed from Rangoon University.〔
By the late 1930s, the Thakins had risen through the ranks to emerge as a prominent nationalist group. To achieve its objectives, the group committed itself to the use violent means, such as strikes and force. In 1937, a Thakin leader had surfaced: a young lawyer by the name of Aung San. In 1939, the Thakins took over the Dobama Asiayone and brought about the collapse of the government of Ba Maw, then the premier of the country, and in 1940, the Thakins and Ba Maw combined forces in the anti-war Burma Freedom Bloc.
