India’s Myanmar Conundrum: New Delhi Should Know This Isn’t The Old Tatmadaw

ABP News  

On February 1, 2021, six months before the fall of Kabul, one of India’s friendly neighbouring countries Myanmar had a meltdown with the Tatmadaw taking control of the country, overthrowing the democratically elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. For the first time since the military coup took place in Myanmar that saw thousands of civilians getting killed, maimed or kidnapped, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar openly and candidly admitted to India facing difficulties in carrying out some of its key strategic projects due to the security situation in Myanmar. The External Affairs Minister even met Myanmar’s Foreign Minister U Than Swe raising the issue of rising challenges on the country’s north-eastern borders. Like Afghanistan, Today’s Myanmar Is Not With Whom India Dealt Before While India’s policy towards Myanmar, like Afghanistan, remains that of following the old rule book, New Delhi is missing out on listening to the citizenry, especially the youth.
