Saffron Revolution is the protest of the saffron-colours robes Buddhist monks who were at the forefront of the demonstrations against military dictatorship in Burma. Burmese monks have taken part in protests in the past, against British colonial rule and against a half-century of rule by military dictatorship. The costs of basic commodities were rising continuously and normal people are distressfully relying on their little earning under military junta. On August 15, 2007 the government increase the price of natural gas by about 500% which led to an increase in food prices. Long term suffering of the economic distress as well as living under the injustice system of the government makes the people took to the streets to protest the current conditions. In response to the protests, the government began arresting and beating demonstrators. On September 5, 2007, juntas troops forcibly broke up a peaceful demonstration in Pakokku and injured several monks. The military refused to apologize the demanding by the deadline of September 17. This sparked the huge number of monks involving in the protests. The biggest antigovernment protests in two decades, thousands of barefoot monks held their alms receiving bowls upside down refusing to receive alms from the military rulers and their families — effectively excommunicating them from the religion that is at the core of Burmese culture. Tens of thousands of Burmese people led by these monks took to the streets of Rangoon demanding for change. The Buddhist monks were beaten arrested, many monks were disrobed, and several monasteries were raided, ransacked, and closed in retribution for leading protest marches. Now again, the Buddhist monks of Burma demand the military junta to apologise the killing and insulting of monks and the religion not later than October 2, 2009 or face the consequences of excommunication starting on October 3, 2009 in Burma and around the world. This is the third time calling for boycotting junta and this could be the Second waves of saffron revolution .

The International Community should be made aware of the hopelessly irreconcilable contents of the constitution adopted in 2008. The referendum was ushered into existence under questionable conditions summarily giving the military junta 25% of the parliamentary seats, unbridled authoritarian control and legitimizing the military dictatorship. This is incomprehensible and totally unacceptable.
