Kachin translation of an article that appeared in The Nation,


This is a Kachin translation of an article that appeared in The Nation, Aug 29 (1960?), lauding the oratorical skills of Duwa Zan Htar Sin (ex-head of Kachin State) as he wowed huge crowds in Rangoon daily, ridiculing Prime Minister U Nu’s many-fractured “Clean AFPFL” party. The Nation is Burma's most influential English language daily, before the 1962 military takeover. The timeline for this article is probably just before the 1960 general elections.
