Photos: U OTTAMA Day ( September 9) "Great Leader of Burmese Independence"


According to academics, between 1921 and 1927, U Ottama spent more time in prison than outside. While Ashin Ottama did not hold any post in any organization, he encouraged and participated in many peaceful demonstrations and strikes against British rule. An admirer of Gandhi, he did not advocate use of violence. He died in prison on 9 September 1939.
