The Japanese chased him out. As is often the case with refugees, they left on foot, with almost nothing. He began life again in India, eventually setting up a Tamil publishing house. He is now in his 80s. My neighbour of my previous house had lived in Burma, where his family owned substantial lands and were wealthy.

Burma did not have an Emperor/King in the 1960s nor in fact a 'Burmese' Emperor in the 1940s! What forced the refugees out was first the Japanese invasion and the war, and later on as you say, local politics.
