Burmese Tricolour
The Tricolour Burmese: သုံးရောင်ခြယ် (lit. three colour painted) originally refers to the flag of Dobama Asiayone (which had two variants).[1] The Tricolour became the flag of anti-British movement untill 1945. The first (1935) version of the Tricolour was used as the national flag of the State of Burma.[2] The current flag of Myanmar (since 2010) uses the tricolour background to indicate the magnificence of the Tricolour flag.[3]
Its background is the tricolour of yellow, green and red. For the central symbol, there is two variants; the peacock (in 1935 version), and the hammer and sickle (in 1938 version).[4] There are two songs with the same name သုံးရောင်ခြယ်သီချင်း (meaning: Tricolour Song), composed by two different composers, composed about the meaning behind the Tricolour symbolisation and the hope of Burmese people.[5]
