In 1942, as Japanese forces swept into Burma, a British officer named Leonard Hill smuggled a 2,000-year-old relic — the Buddha's tooth from Mrauk U — out of the country to keep it from falling into enemy hands. This episode follows the tooth's journey from a crumbling temple in western Burma to a bank vault in Calcutta, and back again after the war. We explore the Arakan Campaign itself, a brutal jungle war fought alongside the V Force guerrillas and the Burma National Army, and how the tooth became a symbol of national identity in the chaos of empire collapsing. Hosts Lucas and Luna discuss the Japanese invasion of Arakan, the role of the sangha, and the legacy of Shin Araban, the monk who first brought Buddhism to the region in the 5th century. A story of faith, war, and the tangled politics of a sacred object. #ArakanCampaign #BuddhasTooth #MraukU #LeonardHill #VFirce #BurmaNationalArmy #WWIIBurma #ShinAraban #JapaneseInvasion #CalcuttaBankVault #BuddhistRelic #Arakan #WesternBurma #Sangha #BritishEmpire #History #FexingoHistory #SoutheastAsiaHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
