description: "Saya San, born with the name Yar Kyaw, was a Burmese physician and monk who led the Saya San Rebellion (1930–1932) against British colonial rule in Burma. Saya San launched a peasant revolt, proclaiming himself the king and organizing the \"Galon Army\". The colonial government suppressed the rebellion and Saya San fled to the Shan Hills, but he was captured in August 1931 and executed on 28 November 1931. This uprising is regarded as a pivotal anti-colonial movement in Southeast Asia. Saya San and the rebellion continue to be important subjects of academic study, especially within Asian historical research."
