After Aung San entered Rangoon University in 1933, he quickly became a student leader.^[5] He was elected to the executive committee of the Rangoon University Students’ Union (RUSU). He then became editor of the RUSU’s magazine Oway (Peacock’s Call).^[6] Aung San was described by contemporary students as being charismatic and keenly interested in politics.

In October 1938, Aung San left his law classes and entered national politics. At this point, he was anti-British and staunchly anti-imperialist. He became a Thakin (“lord” or “master”: a title often used as an informal title for Westerners in Burma; the usage by Burmese proclaimed that the Burmese people were the true masters of their country) when he joined the Dobama Asiayone (“We Burmans Association”). He acted as its general secretary until August 1940. While in this role, he helped organize a series of countrywide strikes that became known as the ME 1300 Revolution. The name of this movement was based on the Burmese calendar year 1300: in the Western calendar this year occurred between August 1938 and July 1939.
