Japanese: タキン党 - たきんとう(英語表記)Thakin party
Thakin party - Takhinto (English spelling)

Another name for Do Bamar As Yi Ayoung (We the Burmese Association), which was formed to advocate complete independence for Burma (now Myanmar). The name Thakin came from the belief that in Burma, the Burmese were the masters (thakin), and members called each other by their personal names. The group was formed in June 1930, when Burmese was under British rule, by young intellectuals including Thakin Bataung, and began to actively engage in political activism around 1935. With the "Great Riot" of 1938, led by oil field workers, the group became a major political force, organizing farmers and workers as well. Later, a part of the group (the headquarters faction) joined forces with the Sin Ye Tha (proletarian) Party to form the "Freedom Bloc," and in 1944 the party as a whole was dissolved and evolved into the AFPFL (Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League).

Japanese:

ビルマ(現ミャンマー)の完全独立を標榜(ひょうぼう)して結成されたド・バマー・アスイーアヨウン(われらビルマ人協会)の別称。タキンの名は、ビルマの地ではビルマ人こそが主人(タキン)であるとし、会員が個人名に冠して呼び合ったことによる。イギリス領下にあった1930年6月、タキン・バタウンらの青年知識人によって結成され、35年ごろから活発な政治運動を展開した。38年の油田労働者を中心とする「大暴動」を契機に一大政治勢力となり、農民・労働者をも組織化していった。その後一部(本部派)はシンイェーター(プロレタリア)党と共闘して「自由ブロック」を形成し、44年、党全体はAFPFL(反ファシスト人民自由連盟)へ発展的に解消した。
