IN THE 1930s, a group of young, educated Myanmar radicals, who became known as the Thakins, emerged within the broader nationalist movement Dobama Asiayone (We Burmans Association).
Marxist ideas and literature had circulated in British-ruled Burma since the early 1930s, often as a result of Myanmar students in Britain making contact with the British Communist Party and the League Against Imperialism.
