In 2007, Buddhist monks led the largest protests Myanmar had seen since 1988, marching through the streets of Yangon and Mandalay in a peaceful uprising that became known as the Saffron Revolution. This episode traces the roots of monastic political activism in Burma — from the colonial-era monks who resisted British rule, through the 1962 military coup and Ne Win's nationalisation of the sangha, to the 2007 protests sparked by fuel price hikes. We explore the role of the All Burma Monks Alliance, the government's violent crackdown, and the legacy of a movement that challenged the junta's legitimacy. Drawing on accounts from monks like U Gambira and U Wisarade, we examine why the military saw the sangha as such a threat — and how the revolution changed Myanmar's path toward the 2011 reforms. #SaffronRevolution #MyanmarHistory #BuddhistMonks #2007Protests #MilitaryJunta #NeWin #UWisarade #UGambira #Yangon #Mandalay #MonasticPolitics #AllBurmaMonksAlliance #PeacefulProtest #SLORC #SPDC #History #FexingoHistory #SoutheastAsia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
