Q. Saya San rebellion during 1930s happened in which of these regions?
Answer: Burma
Notes: The Saya San rebellion was a revolt that took place in Burma (now known as Myanmar) in the 1930s. It was led by Saya San, a traditional healer and astrologer who claimed to be a reincarnation of the ancient Burmese king Anawrahta. Saya San and his followers, who were primarily from the Karen ethnic group, launched a rebellion against the British colonial government in Burma in December 1930. The rebellion was fueled by a variety of grievances, including discontent with British rule, frustration with the erosion of traditional Karen culture, and opposition to the forced labor practices of the colonial government. The Saya San rebellion was largely unsuccessful and was suppressed by the British military within a few months. Saya San was captured and sentenced to death, and many of his followers were also arrested and imprisoned. The rebellion had a lasting impact on Karen politics and helped to increase support for the Karen independence movement.
