Beyond Borders: Unpacking the Myanmar Crisis's Influence on India
Abstract
The country of Myanmar, upon its independence has been known to remain within a constant state of turmoil, plagued with vicious civil wars as well as several, brutal military coups. The country has recently entered another bloody era of dispute between the Myanmar military rule and the ethnic: three brotherhood alliance. The violent dispute has further plunged the country’s civil health in a dire state. The clashes may also have potential impacts on the national security of India. The disputes also threaten to spill over the eastern borders of India which may further result in increased insurgent incidents within the country. Furthermore, the escalating situation may negatively impact the ongoing refugee crisis within the countries of India and Bangladesh. India's response to the crisis also poses questions regarding its geopolitical stand as an emerging democratic world leader. In this paper, we shall discuss the impacts of the crisis on India. Further, we shall be expanding upon the ramifications on the other neighbouring countries and its implications on India.
