- Q15694082 abstract "The 1962Rangoon University protests were a series of marches,demonstrations, and protests against strictercampus regulations, the end of the system of university self-administration, andthe policy of the new military regime of General Ne Win. The main events took place in Rangoon,Burma (Myanmar) on7–8 July 1962.On July 7, 1962, the military regime violently suppresseda student demonstration at Rangoon University attended by some 2,000 students withmilitary forces resulting in the death of more than hundred and the arrest ofmore than 3,000 students according to unofficial but reliable sources. However,official government statements put the death toll at 15. In the morning hoursof the next day, the military regime blew up the historic Rangoon UniversityStudent Union (RUSU) building, which had been the symbol of the anti-colonialnationalism struggle since the 1920s.The reaction of the military regime disclosed forthe first time its new tough stance against all regime opponents as part of implementingthe new state ideology, the Burmese Way to Socialism, which included tobring "almost all of Burma's political, social, and economic life understrict military control". It also demonstrated that theeffective suppression of student activism and the de-politicisation of the universitiesranked high among the strategic goals of the new government as students hadbeen in the vanguard of the Burmese anti-colonial nationalist struggle eversince the first student protests in Burma started in 1920. Although the regimehad been successful in ending the student protests, the violent reactionnonetheless undermined its support among the broader population and created asymbolic focal point for later student protests in the following decades.In the aftermath of the violent crackdown on thestudent protests, the Government of Ne Win immediately closed all universitiesfor four months and send all students home. Broad institutional reforms introduced by the 1964 University Education Act,then, brought Burma’s universities under strict government control andprofoundly hampered cohesive open student activism in subsequent decades. In this respect, the resultof the 1962 Rangoon University protests ushered a new era of undergroundstudent activism in which open mass student involvement in national politicserupted only sporadically, most prominently during the student protests of the mid-1970sand during the 8888 Uprising in 1988.The reverberation of the events on 7–8 July 1962can be felt to this day. Not only did General Ne Win prominently illustrate thecontinuing symbolic power associated with the protests when he referred in hisdeparture speech in 1988 to the destruction of the RUSU building as “one of thekey episodes” during his time in power. But also as recently as 2012 around14 persons were “taken into custody by local authorities [...] to prevent them fromgoing ahead with planned events to mark the 50th anniversary” of the 7 July incidents.".
