Ganda Lawka (Burmese: ဂန္တလောက, pronounced [ɡàɴda̰ lɔ́ka̰], lit. "World of Books") was a Burmese language monthly magazine published by the Burma Education Extension Association. The magazine was a sister publication of The World of Books, the English language monthly started by JS Furnivall, and "welcomed modern Burmese prose, original ideas and criticism."[1] It was edited by a succession of young Burmese writers, including Zawgyi, Min Thu Wun, Sein Tin and Nwe Soe.[1][2]
