Burma Martyrs Day Celebration Invitation

Bo Gyoke (General) Aung San, Architect of Burma National Independence, is the

father of Burma's sole national leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

Born on 13 February 1915, Bo Gyoke Aung San successfully led the Burma

Independence Movement. Fascist Revolution were broke out in 1945 in Burma led by

General Aung San and 1945 was also the turning point in Burma's political

landscape.

After the World War II, the British re-entered onto the Burmese soil as a winner in

the war. The war had changed the British politics at home and colonies, like Burma,

were asking for total independence.

Anti-Fascist Burma Nationalist groups leader Bo Gyoke Aung San was very popular

among the Burmese people and he became a promising leader as young as at the age

of 30.

So then we must labour together in the common cause which concerns all and

affects everybody. We must strive and work all of us, until we become heroes all, so

that we can ultimately dispense with any leader or leadership. For only then we can

have freedom in a real and absolute sense. But I have gone far ahead. We have yet to

win our national freedom before we can hope to help ourselves progressively to that

absolute conception of freedom, said Bo Gyoke Aung San.

On July 19, 1947 at approximately 10:37am, Burma Standard Time, several

ofBurma's independence leaders were gunned down by the pro-colonialists while

they were holding a cabinet meeting at what was known as 'The Secretariat' in

downtown Rangoon.

The assassinated cabinet members were Bo Gyoke (General) Aung San, Thakin

Mya, Dedoke U Ba Cho, U Razak, U Ba Win, Mahn Ba Khaing and Mong Pawng

Sapha Sao San Htun. Cabinet secretary U Ohn Maung and a bodyguard called Maung

Htwe were also killed in the shooting.

Since then on July 19, the Burma Martyrs' Day is observed to commemorate

Gen. Aung San and six other independence leaders who were assassinated on that

day in 1947.
