Kandawmin Garden Mausolea
The Kandawmin Garden Mausolea comprise a mausoleum complex in Yangon, Myanmar.
The site contains four mausolea of Burmese national figures and is located near the southern gate of Shwedagon Pagoda.
The successive Burmese military governments feared that the mausolea might become a meeting place for democracy activists and they fell into a state of neglect.
The former military regime omitted them from the Yangon City Heritage List because they are symbols of national liberty and considered a threat to its status and power.
The site contains mausolea of Supayalat, queen consort of the last king of Myanmar; the nationalist and writer Thakin Kodaw Hmaing; former UN Secretary- General U Thant; and Aung San Suu Kyi ’s mother, Khin Kyi.
Burmese literature
The literature of Burma( or Myanmar) spans over a millennium.
Burmese literature was historically influenced by Indian and Thai cultures, as seen in many works, such as the" Ramayana".
The Burmese language, unlike other Southeast Asian languages( e.g. Thai, Khmer), adopted words primarily from Pāli rather than from Sanskrit.
In addition, Burmese literature tends to reflect local folklore and culture.
Burmese literature has historically been a very important aspect of Burmese life steeped in the Pali Canon of Buddhism.
Traditionally, Burmese children were educated by monks in monasteries in towns and villages.
During British colonial rule, instruction was formalised and unified, and often bilingual, in both English and Burmese known as Anglo- Vernacular.
Burmese literature played a key role in disseminating nationalism among the Burmese during the colonial era, with writers such as Thakin Kodaw Hmaing, an outspoken critic of British colonialism in Burma.
Beginning soon after self- rule, government censorship in Burma has been heavy, stifling literary expression.

The city hall has been the focal point of several major political demonstrations, including a 1964 People's Peace Committee rally supported by Thakin Kodaw Hmaing, which attracted 200,000 people and was subsequently clamped down by the Socialist regime.
and the site of several bombings, including one in 2000, 2008, and 2009.
Centrally located in downtown Yangon, it is next to several important landmarks such as Sule Pagoda, Maha Bandula Park, High Court, and the Main Post Office.
