Dobama Asiayone (Burmese: တို့ဗမာအစည်းအရုံး, Dóbăma Ăsì-Ăyòun, meaning We Burmans Association, DAA), commonly known as the Thakhins (Burmese: သခင်sa.hkang, IPA:[θəkʰɪ̀ɰ̃]lit. Lords), was a Burmese nationalist group formed around the 1930s and composed of young, disgruntled intellectuals. Drawing their name from the way in which the British were addressed during colonial times, the party was established by Ba Thaung in May 1930, bringing together traditionalist Buddhist nationalist elements and fresh political ideals. It was significant in stirring up political consciousness in Burma, and drew most of its support base from students.
The party's song, Myanmar Kaba Ma Kyei ("Till The End of the World, Burma") also became the country's first national song and eventually its national anthem. Composed by Saya Tin (later known as "Thakhin Tin"), the song was a national symbol during the Japanese occupation of Burma and was adopted in 1948 upon the achievement of independence.
