Aung San, like Martin Luther King, did not make it with his people to the promised land, an independent democratic Burma. On July 19, 1947,two years after the birth of his youngest child, Aung San Suu Kyi, he fell, along with most of his cabinet, to assassins' bullets. One of those remaining, U Nu, became the first democratically elected leader of an independent Burma on January 4, 1948. Aung San Suu Kyi grew up taught both by her mother's example and her father's legend. A voracious reader, she assimilated Gandhi's thinking. Her mother, Daw Khin Kyi, was the Burmese ambassador to India.
