Independence Day of Burma? In Burmese, this day is actually called Freedom day (Luut Let Yay လြတ္လပ္ေရး). How shall people of Burma celebrate 60th anniversary of Freedom Day when there is no freedom at all. In history, she regained her independence in 1948 but she lost her freedom in 1962. Ne Win seized the power first and his successors followed the path he led. Will the people of Burma success in this nonviolence movement against dictator? Or, will there be armed revolution? Who knows? But, in the end, the dictator would fall. The future is ours. This is the bloody truth Than Shwe and his followers must accept.
