Birth of Aung San Suu Kyi

Aung San Suu Kyi was born in Rangoon, which is now known as Yangon, in British Burma. Her birthplace is noted to be a small village called Hmway Saung, located outside the main city. Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of Aung San, a prominent figure in Burma's history, known for his role in the country's independence movement. Her early life was influenced by her father's political legacy, which would later shape her own path in politics and activism. After her father's assassination when she was just two years old, Aung San Suu Kyi was raised by her mother, who served as the Burmese ambassador to India and Nepal. This exposure to both political and diplomatic environments contributed to her understanding of governance and human rights issues.
