(19 june 1945)

(‘aung san’ is father)
(‘suu’ is grandmother)
(‘kyi’ is mother)

‘burmese political crusader’

.

(myan-marⁱ/miɑːnˈmɑːr/ mee-ahn-mar, /miˈɛnmɑːr/ mee-en-mar or /maɪˈænmɑːr/ my-an-mar (also with the stress on first syllable); Burmese pronunciation: [mjəmà]), officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and also known as Burma,

.

(“myanmar” is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia bordered by Bangladesh, India, China, Laos, and “Thailand”)

.

(one-third of Myanmar’s total perimeter of 1,930 km (1,200 miles) forms an uninterrupted coastline along the Bay of Bengal and the ‘Andaman Sea’)

(the country’s 2014 census revealed a much lower population than expected, with 51 million people recorded)

(Myanmar is 676,578 square kilometres (261,227 sq mi) in size)

(its capital city is Naypyidaw and its largest city is ‘Yangon’ (Rangoon))

(early civilisations in ‘Myanmar’ included the Tibeto-Burman-speaking Pyu city-states in Upper Burma and the Mon kingdoms in ‘Lower Burma’)

(in the 9th century, the Bamar people entered the upper Irrawaddy valley and, following the establishment of the Pagan Kingdom in the 1050s, the Burmese language, culture and Theravada Buddhism slowly became dominant in the country)

(the Pagan Kingdom fell due to the Mongol invasions and several warring states emerged. In the 16th century, reunified by the Taungoo Dynasty, the country was for a brief period the largest empire in the history of Southeast Asia)

(the early 19th century ‘Konbaung Dynasty’ ruled over an area that included modern Myanmar and briefly controlled Manipur and Assam as well)

(the British conquered Myanmar after three Anglo-Burmese Wars in the 19th century and the country became a British colony)

(Myanmar became an independent nation in 1948, initially as a democratic nation and then, following a coup d’état in 1962, a military dictatorship)

(for most of its independent years, the country has been engrossed in rampant ethnic strife and Burma’s myriad ethnic groups have been involved in one of the world’s longest-running ongoing civil wars)

(during this time, the United Nations and several other organisations have reported consistent and systematic human rights violations in the country)

(in 2011, the military junta was officially dissolved following a 2010 general election, and a nominally civilian government was installed)

(while former military leaders still wield enormous power in the country, Burmese Military have taken steps toward relinquishing control of the government)

(this, along with the release of ‘Aung San Suu Kyi’ and political prisoners, has improved the country’s human rights record and foreign relations, and has led to the easing of trade and other economic sanctions)

(there is, however, continuing criticism of the government’s treatment of the Muslim Rohingya minority and its poor response to the religious clashes)

(in the landmark 2015 election, Aung San Suu Kyi’s party won a majority in both houses, ending military rule)

(‘myanmar’ is a country rich in jade and gems, oil, natural gas and other ‘mineral resources’)

(in 2013, its GDP (nominal) stood at US$56.7 billion and its GDP (PPP) at US$221.5 billion)

(the income gap in Myanmar is among the widest in the world, as a large proportion of the economy is controlled by supporters of the former military government)

(as of 2013, according to the ‘human development index’ (HDI), ‘myanmar’ had a low level of ‘human development’, ranking #150 (out of 187 countries))
