About Maha Bandula

  • General Maha Bandula (Burmese: ????????? [m?hà bà?d?la?]; 6 November 1782 – 1 April 1825) was commander-in-chief of the Royal Burmese Armed Forces from 1821 until his death in 1825 in the First Anglo-Burmese War.
  • Bandula was a key figure in the Konbaung dynasty's policy of expansionism in Manipur and Assam that ultimately resulted in the war and the beginning of the downfall of the dynasty.
  • Nonetheless, the general, who died in action, is celebrated as a national hero by the Burmese for his resistance to the British.
  • Today, some of the most prominent places in the country are named after him.
