National Anthem? (r)



I hope you will find the national anthem in the multimedia computer
software as friends suggested. I just wanted to add something about the
history:
The anthem is maily based on a nationalist song "Doh Bama," which is
composed by Thakhin Ba Thaung. This song was very popular among
nationalists in Burma in 1930s when  Doh Bama Asiayone was active to
challange the British colonial rule. When independence attained, Burmese
modified this nationalist song to become a National Anthem by including
broader meaning for Justice, Freedom, Equal Right, and of course for
protection of the Union.
I hope you find something useful in my explanation.

> Can any one give me also more information about its history (of national 
>anthem) and information about "Burmese Identity"?
