The Saminshayist movement, also known as Saminshayism (Barmian: သမိနသဟယဝါဒ; Saminshayward), is a political, ethno-nationalist and religious nationalist movement and ideology within Bethausia that was created during the 1950s. It advocated for the restoration of ethnic Barma and Mon rule dating back before the creation of the Konbaung-Seppayilä branch. They denounce the rule of William Edwardius III and his ancestors and the administration of Aeindra Inzali Zin Kyaw and her predecessors. Alongside this, it also preached the "rightful" superiority of the two ethnic groups and exaggerated their contribution to Bethausian civilization throughout its history. Saminshayism also exhibits their disdain for the monarchy and endorsement of a republican government, giving rise to other branches of the movement that advocated for other forms of anti-monarchist systems such as socialism and militarism. They have also advocated for the return of a predominant Buddhist state, justifying their view of Christianity's expansion onto the country.
Etymology
Saminshay originates from two Barmian words saminekyaungg (သမိုင်းကြောင်း) and shayyroehcwal (ရှေးရိုးစွဲ), meaning "historically" and "conservative," respectively.
History
Ideology
Konbaungism
Konbaungism refers to the "original and pure" Konbaung Dynasty and this precept deliberates on the idea that native rule should be preserved.
Republicanism
969 Initiative
The 969 Initiative refers to the idea that Bethausia should revert back to its predominant Buddhist state. The numbers 969 are symbolic in the religion, in which the first 9 stands for the nine special attributes of the Lord Buddha and the 6 for the six special attributes of his Dharma, or Buddhist Teachings, and the last 9 represents the nine special attributes of Buddhist Sangha (monastic community).
Variants
Saminshayist Socialism
Saminshayist Militarism
The militarist movement stems from members, especially the general officers, of the Bethausian military and advocates of militarism. Particular individuals such as Kaung Thura Kan emphasized the need for a strong military to defend the ideology and the country and how the military should dominate social life to ensure stability.
