The Stamps Of Burma.

Quote:
Burma National Day - In Burma, National Day is celebrated on the 10th day following the full moon of the month of Tazaungmone (around November-December). The day commemorates the boycott by Burmese university students in which hundreds of students from Rangoon College and the Baptist-affiliated Judson College began protests against the British colonial administration's Rangoon University Act of 1920 that intended to restrict access to higher education. The student boycott led to revision in the act and soon after the boycott began, student leaders founded a "national college" and "national schools" around the country. The college did not last long, because of financial and other difficulties, but the schools enjoyed widespread support and succeeded in educating a generation of independence-minded young people. Many Burmese regard the boycott as the country's first step towards independence. (Wikipedia)
