      What is the role of Aung San Suu Kyi in establishing democracy in Myanmar?

    Answer:

                      San Suu Kyi formed the National League for democracy. In 1990, elections were held for the first time after 30 years of military rule and she won the elections also. But military leaders refused to leave the rule and put the elected pro-democratic leaders including Suu Kyi under house arrest. Despite being in house arrest, Suu Kyi continued to campaign for democracy. She feels that quest for democracy in Burma is the struggle of the people to live whole meaningful lives as free and equal members of the world community. Her struggle has won international recognition. She has also been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
