Can we again revalidate the Swarna Bhumi - Bharat Bhumi natural links.
India shares 1700-km boundary with Myanmar, yet the absence of it in India’s foreign policy priorities has been a strange but serious omission. It is difficult to imagine how India’s otherwise astute leaders then allowed Burma to slide into seclusion and accepting Chinese hegemony to India’s detriment.
The document discusses the reasons for the failure of the League of Nations. It provides several key causes: 1) The League was not universal in membership and lacked effectiveness without countries like the U.S.; 2) Decision making required unanimity, which proved detrimental; 3) The covenant did not completely prohibit war and only allowed intervention under certain situations; 4) Lack of participation and support from major powers like the U.S. weakened the League.
Foreign policy involves a state using political influence to induce other states to exercise their lawmaking power in a way that benefits the influencing state. It aims to protect territorial integrity and citizen interests both within and outside the state. Additionally, foreign policy seeks to maintain international links through policies of conflict or cooperation to promote national interests like security, self-preservation, and economic and political goals. A country's foreign policy is determined by internal factors like geography, culture, economic strength, and political structures as well as external factors like the international power structure, organizations, alliances, and world public opinion.

The document discusses China's "String of Pearls" doctrine to secure its sea lines of communication by building ports and infrastructure along key trade routes. It aims to address China's "Malacca Dilemma" of relying heavily on the narrow Malacca Strait for energy imports. Under the String of Pearls, China is developing ports in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and seeking to include others. While China says this brings regional harmony, India views it as detrimental to its influence in the Indian Ocean. The growing network of Chinese-backed ports in the region increases India's strategic unease.
The document discusses the role and activities of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

AS History - British Foreign Policy 1.1kirstyodair
British foreign policy underwent a revolution from 1895-1914 as Britain moved away from splendid isolation. Key events highlighted the dangers of isolation, including disputes with other powers over issues like Venezuela, as well as the South African War, which showed Britain's vulnerability. In response, Britain formed ententes with powers like France in 1904 and Russia in 1907 to help address concerns, though these were not formal alliances. Britain also improved relations with the USA and formed an alliance with Japan in 1902 focused on the Far East. However, German actions, including attempts to disrupt the entente with France during the First Moroccan Crisis of 1905-1906, contributed to Britain drawing closer to France as concerns about Germany grew.
Pakistan's economy faces many challenges that are common among developing nations. These include high levels of poverty, reliance on foreign debt, low per capita incomes, an overdependence on agriculture, and a small industrial sector. Pakistan has a 21% poverty rate and relies heavily on agriculture which employs 45% of the workforce but only contributes 21% to GDP. Industrialization has been slow and the economy remains largely dualistic with traditional and modern sectors coexisting. Unemployment is high at 6% and productivity is very low compared to developed nations.
The Cold War originated between the U.S. and USSR after WWII as they emerged as two superpowers competing for global influence and ideological dominance. Tensions grew as Stalin sought to spread communism in Eastern Europe against the wishes of the U.S. and UK. The ideological differences between capitalism and communism, as well as the arms race between the two sides, exacerbated the conflict and divided the world into two spheres of influence, leading to the emergence of the Cold War.
This document discusses different types of balance of power in international relations. It defines balance of power as a state of equilibrium between competing forces that prevents any one entity from becoming too powerful. It then describes simple and complex balance of power, as well as local, regional, worldwide, rigid, and flexible balance of power. Simple balance involves two powers, like the US and USSR during the Cold War. Complex balance aims to preserve peace between warring nations. Regional balance maintains equilibrium within a geographical area, while worldwide balance concerns multiple regions. Rigid balance involves inflexible alliances, while flexible balance allows for changing alignments.
The document summarizes Pakistan's government debt from 1977 to 2018. It discusses debt under military dictatorships from 1977-1988 and 2001-2008 which saw high levels of foreign aid. Debt increased from internal and external factors like wars, nuclear tests, and natural disasters. Debt also grew under democratic regimes from 1988-1999 and 2008-2013 due to economic mismanagement, political instability, and a declining tax base. The document concludes with suggestions like tax reforms, reducing budget and trade deficits, and maintaining macroeconomic stability to address Pakistan's debt issues.
The document discusses the concepts of strategy and grand strategy in international relations. It provides definitions of strategy, grand strategy, and analyzes characteristics of the grand strategy process. It then summarizes the grand strategies of several countries, including the United States, India, and China. The US grand strategy during the Cold War was containment and post-Cold War has elements of both unipolar and multipolar approaches. India's strategy emphasizes non-alignment and moral persuasion. China's strategy focuses on relations with major powers through cooptation and prevention, military modernization, and influencing international regimes.
This document discusses the BRICS organization, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It provides background on the formation of BRICS in 2003 and highlights that the main objectives of BRICS are to provide an alternative to the World Bank and IMF and achieve regional development and economic growth among member nations. The document also outlines the history of BRICS summits since 2009, advantages and disadvantages of BRICS countries, key sectors and initiatives like the New Development Bank.

Britain entered WWI in 1914 primarily due to security and strategic interests in maintaining the balance of power in Europe. While Britain had no formal alliances, the invasion of Belgium and prospect of a German victory threatening British control of the seas and nearby coastlines led Britain to join the war to prevent German domination of Europe. Foreign Secretary Grey's policy of informal agreements with France allowed cooperation without binding alliances, but left Britain's course unclear, dragging it into war once its interests were threatened.

1) Foreign aid plays an important role in Pakistan's economy, accounting for a significant portion of capital inflows and government revenues. However, aid levels have declined sharply in recent years.
2) Pakistan faces major security challenges from conflicts in neighboring Afghanistan that have imposed huge economic costs on Pakistan in the form of damaged infrastructure and disrupted economic activity.
3) Effective use of foreign aid could help Pakistan address both its economic and security issues by funding development priorities like power, transportation and education, which also have indirect security benefits by promoting stability and counteracting extremism. However, reforms are needed to improve aid effectiveness.

of Nepal-India relations during the past five decades.Open border has moulded a unique relationship
between the countries. However, this has facilitated people to people linkages. Indian economic assistance
has played a key role in Nepal’s development in the past. There are tremendous possibilities of further
developing bilateral relationship in various fields. Presently transfer of technology has been instrumental in
accelerating the pace of economic development in Nepal in recent years.However, Nepal’s growing economy
is heavily dependent on India and deprived of the opportunity of maximizing benefits from the economy of
gigantic neighbourhood like India, an emerging economic power in the International Markets. But the two
sides felt the need to inject new dynamism for tactical changes with the realities of the time.This paper makes
an attempt to measure importance, strength and nature of bilateral trade and future prospects for economic
cooperation between India and Nepal which based on macro analysis. Trade reciprocity index is designed
for measuring India’s balance of trade with Nepal and future projection of trade has been estimated by using
OLS method.
India has formal diplomatic and trade relations with most countries in the world. It has a long history of trade collaboration and is considered a leader among developing economies. India was previously a closed economy but liberalized in the early 1990s. It now has trade agreements with many countries including China, its largest trade partner, though India has a large trade deficit with China. India's top imports are crude oil, gold, and electronic goods, while its top exports include engineering goods and petroleum products. Strengthening trade ties with strategic partners like Japan and China could help support India's growing economy and global influence.
This document compares India and Brazil and discusses their trade relationship. It notes that both countries are developing nations that were former colonies. Their economies are agriculture-based and they have a 500-year relationship. Trade has expanded in recent years to areas like science, technology, pharmaceuticals, and space. India exports pharmaceuticals and machinery to Brazil, which exports agriculture and metals to India. The trade volume has increased approximately 3.5 times from 2005-2010.
This document provides an overview of India-China relations post-independence. It discusses the political and economic dimensions of their relationship. Politically, relations were strained after China seized Tibet and the two countries went to war in 1962 over their disputed border. Economically, bilateral trade has grown significantly, reaching $73.9 billion in 2011, though India faces a large trade deficit with China. The document also notes China's strategic efforts to encircle India by allying with countries on its borders like Pakistan and Myanmar.
The document provides an overview of Sino-Indian relations from the 1950s to present day. It discusses the initial cordial relations following diplomatic recognition, deterioration during border disputes and wars, and recent efforts to normalize relations through high-level exchanges and economic cooperation. While differences remain on border issues, both sides are committed to addressing them peacefully and strengthening the overall bilateral partnership.
It throws lights on - Emergence of India as a global power, Indo-Pacific strategic arc, continued rise of China as a global power, increasing economic and strategic weight of East Asia, the Arc of Freedom and Prosperity, Pivot to Asia, the Heart of Maritime Asia and Pacific, India’s tough neighborhood, India’s relations with Bhutan, Maldives and Nepal,When the two bull fight; the ultimate victim will be the nearby small calf. India’s destiny and its South Asian neighbors.
The document provides an overview of Indo-China relations beginning in 1950 when diplomatic relations were established. It discusses key events like the 1954 Panchsheel agreement, the 1962 Sino-Indian war, Rajiv Gandhi's 1988 visit to China, the 1993 agreement on border peace and tranquility, and more recent issues like the 2017 Doklam standoff and 2020 Galwan Valley clashes.

Bilateral Communication Practices Between China and IndiaHeather Mueller
This document analyzes the bilateral communication practices between India and China, and how misperceptions have led to increased tensions. It finds that many Indian leaders view competition in zero-sum terms, while Chinese leaders are more confident. There have been few successful diplomatic attempts to improve communications. Misperceptions lead to increased tensions if not addressed between governments and militaries. It is crucial for India and China to increase cultural and economic exchanges to build mutual understanding between their governments and militaries.
India and Iran have sought to transform their bilateral relation with limited success.

GEO-POLITICAL IMPORTANCE OF INDIAN OCEAN
India's Look East Policy aims to strengthen economic and strategic ties with Southeast Asian countries. It began in the early 1990s as a shift from India's previous neglect of the region. Key points:
1) India and ASEAN have increased cooperation across political, economic and security issues in recent decades through various bilateral and regional initiatives.
2) Cultural, linguistic and economic ties historically linked India with Southeast Asia, though these were neglected after Indian independence.
3) The Look East Policy seeks to revive these links and views ASEAN as important to India's role in Asia and global economy. It emphasizes physical connectivity to spur trade between India's Northeast and Southeast Asia.

India and Australia are fast-tracking negotiations on a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA). Bilateral trade between the two countries amounted to $12.28 billion in FY21, with India's exports to Australia being $4.04 billion and imports from Australia being $8.24 billion. Key items of bilateral trade include petroleum, medicines, coal, and education services. Meanwhile, China dismantled the Pillar of Shame sculpture at Hong Kong University, which memorialized victims of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, as Beijing tightens control over Hong Kong under the national security law.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Leaders are often faced with ethical conundrums(a confusing and difficult problem or question). So how can they determine when they’re inching toward dangerous territory? There are three main psychological dynamics that lead to crossing moral lines.
There’s omnipotence: when someone feels so aggrandized and entitled that they believe the rules of decent behavior don’t apply to them.
Consider cultural numbness: when others play along and gradually begin to accept and embody deviant norms.
Finally, when people don’t speak up because they are thinking of more immediate rewards, we see justified neglect.
Generally most people mean well, but simply execute their job poorly sometimes and sometimes, there are BAD bosses. We must learn “to Work "on Bad Boss
According to dictionary.com, “to work” something or someone is to put them into effective operation, to operate that thing or person for productive purposes.
Put your Bad Boss into effective operation to get whatever you want in your job or career by learning your boss’s secret desire and secret fear
Two biggest issues of Bad Boss are:
They can negatively impact our work performance.
They can make life miserable
We often hear “being difficult.” about Bad Boss. It’s hard to know exactly where the difficulty lie. All we know is it is difficult to work successfully with this person.
An incompetent person is someone who is
Functionally inadequate or
Insufficient in Knowledge, Skills, Judgment, or Strength
Mindset is a mental attitude that determines how we interpret and respond to situations.
Dweck has found that it is your mindset that plays a significant role in determining achievement and success.
A mindset refers to whether you believe qualities such as intelligence and talent are fixed or changeable traits.
People with a fixed mindset believe that these qualities are inborn, fixed, and unchangeable.
Those with a growth mindset, on the other hand, believe that these abilities can be developed and strengthened by way of commitment and hard work.
Story of Katalin Karikó, a researcher who won the Nobel prize for medicine for her work on modifying the RNA molecule to avoid triggering a harmful immune response is a classical example of mindset.
Yet, her life was full of rejection and doubt.
Her achievement had much to do with her mindset.
A theory is a based upon a hypothesis and backed by evidence.
A theory presents a concept or idea that is testable.
In science, a theory is not merely a guess.
A theory is a fact-based framework for describing a phenomenon.
In psychology, theories are used to provide a model for understanding human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Hence study of Psychology theory is essential for SSB and all types of Interviewas it helps us to understand our own developmental psychology.k
Personality theorists should study normal individuals
All behavior is interactive
The person must be studied in terms of interactions with their environment
The brain is the locus of personality
There is a biological basis to personality
Definition of Personality
1- Personality is an abstraction formulated by a theorist.
2- It refers to series of events that ideally span over life time from childhood to adulthood
3-It reflects novel, unique, recurrent and enduring patterns of behaviours – his education and training .
4- Personality is located in brain- imagination, perception
5.Personality comprises the person’s central organizing and governing processes, whose function is to
Resolve conflicts,
Satisfy needs, and
Plan for future goals.
There are three components to emotions: subjective experience, physiological response, and behavioral response. Regarding subjective experience, emotions can vary in intensity between individuals and be mixed. Physiological responses are regulated by the autonomic nervous system and brain areas like the amygdala. Behavioral responses involve facial expressions and body language, which can be interpreted and expressed differently across cultures. There are several theories of emotion, such as those proposed by Darwin, James-Lange, Cannon-Bard, and Schachter-Singer. Ekman identified six universal emotions - happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise - while Plutchik developed a wheel to show how emotions can be combined. Emotions differ from
Anger is an intense emotion you feel when
Something has gone wrong or
Someone has wronged you.
It is typically characterized by feelings of
Stress,
Frustration, and
Irritation.
Anger is a perfectly normal response to frustrating or difficult situations.
Anger only becomes a problem when
It’s excessively displayed and
Begins to affect your daily functioning and the way you relate with people.
Anger can range in intensity, from a slight annoyance to rage.
It can sometimes be excessive or irrational.
In these cases, it can be hard to keep the emotion in check and could cause you to behave in ways you wouldn’t otherwise behave.
Cognitive distortions are negative or irrational patterns of thinking that reinforce negative self-perceptions. Common cognitive distortions include all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, mental filters, discounting the positive, jumping to conclusions, magnification, emotional reasoning, 'should' statements, labeling, and personalization. These distortions can contribute to problems like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. To cope, people can recognize distortions, challenge irrational thoughts, seek therapy which uses techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy to change distorted thinking patterns. Addressing cognitive distortions can improve mental health and well-being.
Trauma Bonding is the attachment an abused person feels for their abuser, specifically in a relationship with a cyclical pattern of abuse.
Is created due to a cycle of abuse and positive reinforcement
After each circumstance of abuse, the abuser professes love, regret, and trying to make the relationship feel safe and needed for the abused person.
Hence Abused
Finds leaving an abusive situation confusing and overwhelming
Involves positive and/or loving feelings for an abuser
Also feel attached to and dependent on their abuser.
Emotional abuse involves controlling another person by using emotions to Criticize , Embarrass ,Shame ,Blame or
Manipulate .
To be abusive there must be a consistent pattern of abusive words and bullying behaviours that Wear down a person’s Self-esteem and Undermine Their mental health.
Most common in married relationships,
Mental or emotional abuse can occur in any relationship—including among
Friends
Family members and
Co-workers
Attachment-related patterns that differ between individuals are commonly called "attachment styles."
There seems to be an association between a person’s attachment characteristics early in life and in adulthood, but the correlations are far from perfect.
Many adults feel secure in their relationships and comfortable depending on others (echoing “secure” attachment in children).
Others tend to feel anxious about their connection with close others—or prefer to avoid getting close to them in the first place (echoing “insecure” attachment in children).
Borderline personality disorder, characterized by a longing for intimacy and a hypersensitivity to rejection, have shown a high prevalence and severity of insecure attachment.
Attachment styles in adulthood (similar to attachment patterns in children):
Secure
Anxious-preoccupied (high anxiety, low avoidance)
Dismissing-avoidant (low anxiety, high avoidance)
Fearful-avoidant (high anxiety, high avoidance)
Conduct disorder is an ongoing pattern of behaviour marked by emotional and behavioural problems.
Ways in which Children with conduct disorder behave are
Angry,
Aggressive,
Argumentative, and
Disruptive ways.
It is a diagnosable mental health condition that is characterized by patterns of violating
Societal norms and
Rights of others
It's estimated that around 3% of school-aged children have conduct disorder and require professional treatment .
It is more common in boys than in girls.
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a psychiatric disorder that typically emerges in childhood, between ages 6 and 8, and can last throughout adulthood.
ODD is more than just normal childhood tantrums
Frequency and severity of ODD causes difficulty at home and at school.
Children with ODD also struggle with learning problems related to their behavior.
Two types of oppositional defiant disorder:
Childhood-onset ODD:
Present from an early age
Requires early intervention and treatment to prevent it from progressing into a more serious conduct disorder
Adolescent-onset ODD:
Begins suddenly in the middle- and high-school years, causing conflict at home and in school
There have been at least 13 different types of intelligence that have been identified so far.
These different ways of being smart can help people perform in different areas from their personal life, business, to sports and relationships.
Attachment is an emotional bond with another person. John Bowlby described attachment as a "lasting psychological connectedness between human beings.“
Earliest bonds formed by children (with caregivers) have a tremendous impact that continues throughout life and Attachment so developed
Serves to keep the infant close to the mother, thus improving the child's chances of survival.
Are innate drive Children are born with and is a product of evolutionary processes
Emerges and are regulated through the process of natural selection,
Are characterized by clear behavioural and motivation patterns.
Nurturance and responsiveness were the primary determinants of attachment.
Children who maintained proximity to an attachment figure were more likely to
Receive comfort and protection, and
More likely to survive to adulthood.
This document discusses two defense mechanisms: splitting and projective identification. Splitting involves viewing oneself or others in an all-good or all-bad way without integrating both positive and negative qualities. It serves to minimize anxiety about how others may view one. Projective identification involves projecting one's own unacceptable feelings onto others and perceiving them as the source, while still being aware of the original feelings. It often induces the feelings in others that were initially projected. Both defenses allow avoidance of anxiety but maintain inflexible and distorted perceptions.
e-RUPI is a cashless and contactless digital payment solution launched by NPCI in partnership with several entities. It involves the generation of an e-voucher that is shared with beneficiaries via SMS or QR code to enable them to redeem the voucher value for a specific good or service without cards, apps or accounts. e-RUPI streamlines targeted delivery of benefits, reduces costs associated with physical voucher distribution, and maintains user privacy by avoiding the need for personal details during redemption at participating merchant locations.
The term ‘Moonlighting’ became popular in America when people started working a second job in addition to their regular 9-to-5 jobs. Since the rise of the work-from-home concept during the pandemic, employees got free time after work hours. While some took up their hobby in their free time, others started searching for part-time jobs. Especially in the IT industry, employees took up two jobs simultaneously and took advantage of the remote working model. This concept of working for two companies/organisations is referred to as moonlighting.

1. Things that Modi should do in Myanmar
Myanmar drew the international spotlight when the world leaders including Prime Minister
Modi, President Obama attended the ASEAN and East Asian Summit in Naypidaw last year
on11 November.
Can we again revalidate the Swarna Bhumi - Bharat Bhumi natural links.
India shares 1700-km boundary with Myanmar, yet the absence of it in India’s foreign policy
priorities has been a strange but serious omission. It is difficult to imagine how India’s otherwise
astute leaders then allowed Burma to slide into seclusion and accepting Chinese hegemony to
India’s detriment. No one seemed to even care for the economic imperative - Burma exported 3
million tons of rice prior to its independence. Rangon was a flourishing city, when Bangkok was
only a village. The reason though may have been less to do with India’s policy neglect, but
Rangon’s own idiosyncratic expression turning into self-inflicted isolation. To be also sure,
Myanmar ignored India in the fear that China might step up arms subversion.
India’s controversial relationship with Myanmar must come to an end. Modi should just do that.
Modi’s visit to Naypidaw should assume importance against the backdrop of firstly, the
possibilities of greater political reforms underway including an amendment in constitution —
which currently bars opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) leader Suu Kyi from
becoming president — ahead of 2015 elections. The regional summit will ensure a more
spotlight on the country's progress toward democracy.
Second, China strong traditional ties with Myanmar are undergoing a change. Beijing for
decades provided the junta with military and diplomatic support to the detriment of democracy in
Myanmar. However, Thein Sein government since 2011 significantly sought to decrease the
country’s over-dependence on China. In fact, China has been stung by massive outcry over
Chinese exploitation of country natural resources and use of Myanmar’s territory for a gas and
oil pipeline and hydroelectricity projects. Mainland China and Hong Kong combined had
invested $20.8 billion in Myanmar but Thein Sein suspended the Chinese-led $3.6 Myitsone dam
project, meant for supplying electricity to China. Beijing is watching the political reforms and
softening of Western approach towards Myanmar nervously. Beijing has been reaching out to
Suu Kyi. There is a possibility of Suu Kyi making a “good-will” visit to China next month. If the
visit takes place, Beijing will succeed in changing the perceptions that its long-lasting support to
the military junta was transitory and it is not oppose to democratic transition.
India’s ties with Myanmar improved substantially after Gen. Maung Aye’s visit to New Delhi in
2000, the landmark visit by President U Thein Sein in October 2011 and the return visit by Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh to Naypyitaw in May 2012, the first such visit in 25 years. These
exchanges have fundamentally changed the context. Myanmar’s international image improved
since then and encouraged other countries including President Obama to visit Naypyitaw in
November 2012.
2. However, after the initial support, India failed to sustain the quantum of support for the pro-
democracy movement. Suu Kyi expressed disappointment over India’s courting the junta and
backing away from supporting her when she visited New Delhi in 2012. Suu Kyi said, in a
memorial lecture for Nehru. "I was saddened to feel that we had drawn away from India, or
rather that India had drawn away from us, during our very difficult days, but I always had faith in
the lasting friendship between our two countries."
The Prime Minister must reach out to Myanmar in unconventional ways and remove any
antipathy among the people who once, like other neighbours, had began to perceive India as a
big military threat. China fully exploited those sentiments. The junta even looked once upon a
time to Islamabad for military aid.
Clearly, for India relations with Myanmar cannot be a bilateral affair – rather it a matter of
regional security and India’s long-term interest. While India should acknowledge Myanmar’s
military’s role in stabilizing a country beset by an unprecedented insurgency problem that helped
India as well. However, there are signs that Myanmar will loom large internally, and if India is
not careful, the democratic agenda supported by it could be usurped by others. India’s national
interest also lies in preventing the US fomenting crisis in its strategic neighbourhood. The
changes within Myanmar are likely to spur greater enthusiasm among the Burmese to seek closer
affinity within India.
For India, the lack of conceptualization has been a serious deficit in its policy thinking. So far,
failing to imagine India’s geographic continuum as a whole has rendered space for others to
maneuver the region. China has cleverly boxed India in South Asia. However, foreign policy
under Modi is showing signs of India regaining its lost geopolitical profile. Modi’s visit to
Myanmar, therefore, should prove to be the defining spirit and it should underscore the same
significance as he did to signify India’s ability to show responsibility, realism and regionalism in
Bhutan, Nepal and Japan.
How Modi will bring Myanmar back into the Indian fold will remain a challenge. One very clear
and indigestible truth is that the role of Military in that country cannot be wished away easily.
Any paradigm shift in policy will be too optimistic. Myanmar shares long borders with China
with which it has long historical association. India, therefore, should not aim to compete or
replace Chinese influence but should exploit those areas where it enjoys a distinct edge in
Myanmar.
India should work on strategic convergences and shared concerns of dealing with insurgency
along border areas. Dealing with Rohingya refugees is an important agenda. The bombing of
Buddha Gya temple was linked to crisis in Myanmar.
More importantly, drawing from China’s experience, India and Myanmar should enhance
cooperation in regional development schemes. The ongoing important cross-border connectivity
projects project should be enhanced to promote a regional market across the region. There is
surely much more scope for India to get involved in Myanmar’s oil and gas sector. A new
addition to it could be supported by projects that will promote a web of spiritual activities with
commercial interests. Buddhism is fast becoming a factor of cultural mobilization and economic
3. growth cross Asia including in China. India is sitting atop millennia-old tourist mines. Buddha-
Industry alone could transform the lives of millions, providing lucrative career options to its
youth. The millions of Shakyamuni’s followers in South-East Asia including China link their
spiritual destinies to India. Promoting a web of economic and cultural interdependency is
essential to ensure that Myanmar does not find it necessary to use the insurgency card against
India.
India’s policy leverage in Myanmar is Buddhism. The Burmese Buddhist tradition is the most
organized and powerful institution in that country. An active interface with the Sangahraja of
Myanmar and other cultural and spiritual bodies is essential for harnessing an enduring
relationship. In fact, monks are the best ambassadors of India in Myanmar. It is only that India
never used these parameters as instruments of its diplomacy. India should consider having a visa-
free scheme for Myanmar monks visiting India.
Myanmar has over 2.5 million Indians and Modi should think about opening Indian Trade and
Cultural Centres (TCCs) across Myanmar. The TCCs would also play a useful role once the
highway project linking India-Myanmar-Thailand-Vietnam are completed. And linked to this is
the imperative of promoting a brand of sustainable cultural tourism. A series of pilgrimage
corridors from China across Myanmar could serve as engines of economic growth for the people
living in the North-East. Once viewed as absurd, the idea of India-China jointly cooperating in
Myanmar could become a reality now. The corridor could benefit India more than China but
delay could risk serious ramifications against China’s increasing quest for strategic minerals and
water resources. It is here that India should visualize Myanmar playing the role of a bridge for
India reaching out to China’s vulnerable Southeast regions and South-East Asian region as a
whole. Here lies India’s strategic and security interests.
India-Myanmar Relations – From past to
present scenario
With the conquest of Assam in 1821, the Burmese came close to British Indian territories. The
Assamese nobilities took refuge in British territories and sought their help to expel the Burmese
from Assam. But the Burmese ambition to capture more English territories led to the first Anglo-
Burmese war in 1824. The Burmese were defeated and the Treaty of Yandaboo was signed in
1826 by which Assam and Manipur were annexed to the British Empire together with Arakan
and Tannesserim of Burma. The second Anglo-Burmese war was fought in 1852 because of
strained Anglo-Burmese relations when the new Burmese king refused to comply with the Treaty
of Yandaboo, which resulted in the annexation of Lower Burma by the British. But the third
Anglo-Burma war in 1885 ended with the annexation of Upper Burma. Burma became a
province of British India.
In 1937, Burma, a pre dominantly Buddhist nation, was separated from British India. India
gained independence in 1947 and Burma in 1948. India and Burma (now known as Myanmar)
share a1643 Km long international border along India’s Northeast. Both countries practiced a
common British parliamentary democracy system. Nehru took over as the Prime Minister of
4. India and U Nu became Burma’s first Prime Minister. The personal friendship between Nehru
and U Nu helped to build up cordial Indo-Burma relations.
By 1949, Burma was engulfed in a civil war while putting down communist rebellion and armed
ethnic insurgent groups. Rangoon was about to collapse. India came to Burma’s aid providing
arms to the Burmese army and organising loans from the Commonwealth nations. Rangoon was
saved. In 1951 India and Burma signed the Treaty of Friendship. India became the largest
importer of Burmese rice. In 1962, Indo- Burma relations got strained when Burma came under
Ne Win’s military rule after a coup. Ne Win military regime promulgated stringent
nationalization policy forcing the majority of the Indian community to flee Burma.
After the 1962 Indo-China war, China started aiding India’s North-East insurgents groups on the
one hand and on the other hand started supporting the Burmese communists and the ethnic
insurgents groups which helped in warming up the Indo-Burma relations. In 1967, India and
Burma signed the boundary agreement to solve the border issue between the two countries.
Burma also co-operated with India in its fight against the Northeast insurgents groups. But then,
Deng Xiaoping assumed power after Mao’s death, initiated economic reforms and changed
China’s foreign policy of exporting communist revolution, replacing it by trade and investment.
By 1980s, China stopped supporting Burma’s communists and ethnic insurgents and made
inroads in Burma in the pretext of brokering peace talks. China-Burma relations warmed up and
the Indo-Burma relations suffered. India started aiding the Kachin Independent Army (KIA) with
the assurance to stop training/sheltering the Northeast insurgent groups, which they readily
obliged.
The policy of the military junta under Ne Win’s dictatorship curbed human rights and democracy
and was for its isolation from the international community. Burmese isolation helped to cement
the China-Burma relationships. China started arming the Burmese army and mordernised its
navy. China invested heavily in Burma’s infrastructure development projects building roads,
railways, hydropower projects and laying of gas and oil pipeline. Burma became more dependent
on China.
Meanwhile in India’s Northeast , the insurgency scenario made a paradigm shift towards Burma.
The NSCN was formed in 1980 opposing the 1975 Shillong Accord and established its
headquarters in North western Burma/Sagaing region. The Burmese military Junta had no
control over this region. The NSCN started governing the areas. Slowly, this region became the
training ground for India’s Northeast insurgent groups and access to the KIA to reach the
Chinese border. Apart from guerilla training, weapons were acquired from this region. In 1988
the NSCN got divided. The NSCK (K) faction headed by S.S.Khaplang , a Burmese Naga still
remained in control of the region as the other faction NSCN(IM) headed by Isak Swu and T.
Muviah shifted its headquarters to Dimapur after a ceasefire agreement in 1997 with Govt. of
India. In 2001 the NSCN(K) had also signed similar ceasefire agreement . In 2012 ULFA was
split into ULFA (I) headed by Paresh Baruah with headquarters established in this region. The
NDFB (S) also shifted its headquarters to Burma. The PLA, UNLF, PREPAK, KYKL & KCP
had also established their headquarters in this Burmese region. Burma’s Sagaing region became
the bases of the Northeast insurgent groups.
5. In 1988 after a popular nationwide protest, Ne Win resigned. Military officers loyal to Ne Win
staged a coup and Burma was brought under the State Law and Order Restoration Council
(SLORC). In 1989 the SLORC changed the name of Burma to Myanmar. Thereafter, Burma
faced a popular pro-democracy movement led by Aung Sung Suu Kyi . Suu Kyi and other
opposition leaders founded the National League for Democracy (NLD) and won the 1990
election. Power was not handed to the NLD and Burma remained under the military regime.
India under Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi supported the pro-democracy movement and gave
asylum to the Burmese refugees who fled the military crackdown. India-Burma relations
worsened. Slowly, Burma started building its foreign relations with the West and other Asian
neighbours. The growing Chinese influence in Burma worried New Delhi.
In 1991, the Indian Prime Minister Narasimha Rao initiated the liberalisation of India’s
economy which resulted in formulating the Look East Policy (LEP) to integrate the Indian
economy with the booming Southeast Asian economy. India’s Look East policy shaped its
foreign policy towards the Southeast Asian countries. India’s Northeast was considered as the
launching pad for the Look East policy because of its geographical proximity to the Southeast
Asia. Burma is India’s land bridge to Southeast Asia and passage for the proposed Trans Asian
highway and railway project. India started building up its relations with Burma and other
Southeast Asian countries. In 1994 India and Burma signed the border trade agreement and
opened border trade outpost at Moreh (Manipur) in 1995 and at Champhai (Mizoram) in
2004.However, both the countries were reluctant to open the Stilwell Road which was
constructed in 1942 by the Allied forces connecting Ledo (Assam) to Myitkyina (Burma) to
Kunming (China).
In 1996, India became a member of the ASEAN(Association of South East Asian Nations)
Regional forum, followed by BIMST-EC(Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand-
economic co-operation) in 1997, the Kunming initiative(India, China, Myanmar and
Bangladesh) in 1999 and the Mekong Ganga Corporation (India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos,
Cambodia and Vietnam) in 2000. India’s engagement with Burma partially succeeded in
countering Chinese dominance in Burma. India became the second largest importer of Burmese
products and invested in the infrastructure development and energy sector keeping an eye on
importing Burma’s gas and oil.
Even after more than two decades of formulation, the Look East Policy has failed to deliver the
required economic benefits to the Northeast. The main reason is the lacklustre attitude of the
Indian policy makers in developing adequate infrastructure and connectivity of the Northeastern
region which hampered trading with the Southeast Asian countries. New Delhi is obsessed with
cross border security concerns.
India’s military aid to Burma was mainly directed for counter insurgency operations against the
Northeast insurgent groups based in Burma. Burma is yet to take any major offensive against the
Northeast insurgent groups. Burma’s support is necessary in pressurising the Northeast insurgent
groups for opening a dialogue with New Delhi. A peaceful Northeast has great potential to
develop economically with its rich biodiversity, hydropower and precious mineral resources once
it is properly integrated to the Southeast Asian economy.
6. A prosperous Northeast is the answer, not military operations because the rebellions are basically
due to economic underdevelopment of the region. One of the important challenges to the Look
East Policy is the inflow of narcotics/heroin from Burma into the alcohol prohibited states of
Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram with increasing number of drug addicts and HIV/AIDS
infected persons amongst the drug users who share common needles.
With close India-Burma relations, India can play a crucial role in Burma’s political reforms, and,
Burma, in implementing the Look East Policy and help in solving the decades old Northeast
insurgency.
