Saya San also spelled Hsaya (original name Yar Kyaw, Burmese: ဆရာစံ, Burmese pronunciation: [sʰəjà sàɰ̃]; 24 October 1876 – 28 November 1931) was a physician, former monk and the leader of the Saya San Rebellion of 1930–1932 in British Burma. The series of uprisings that have been called the Saya San Rebellion has been regarded as one of Southeast Asia's quintessential anti-colonial movements. Because of its national and historical nature, discussions about Saya San and the rebellion associated with him has persisted to this day, particularly within academic spheres.
