India arms Myanmar to fight rebels

[Sam.]

SOURCE: DECCAN CHRONICLE

In what may force Indian insurgent outfits to leave their bases in Myanmar, New Delhi has started supplying advanced weaponry and gadgets to the Myanmar Army to enable it to set up its military headquarters close to areas occupied by the rebels. Saying India and Myanmar had managed to develop a consensus on several bilateral issues during President U Htin Kyaw’s New Delhi visit, authoritative sources in the home ministry told this newspaper that India was going to provide helicopters and advanced gear to strengthen the strike capabilities of the Myanmar Army. Noting that relations between the two neighbouring countries were at their best in the past 50 years, the sources said that Myanmar was confident of making its military headquarters functional in six months, that will reduce the comfort level of Indian insurgents operating from the neighbouring country. Sources pointed out that President U Htin had chosen India for his first visit after his recent election. The sources said Myanmar had not only promised military cooperation in tackling militants operating from its territory but also agreed to enhance road connectivity from India to Southeast Asia. Saying India had succeeded in taking Thailand and other Southeast Asian nations on board regarding the trans-national highways proposed in its Act East policy, the sources said India had started investing heavily in Myanmar.

Not only are Rohingyas slaughtered in broad daylight in Myanmar, but they also have a list of rebels they are fighting against. India is clearly becoming party by taking side.

The shift in Indian policy was due. We need our flanks to be covered, especially in terms of Myanmar. The Indian efforts over the years fructified with advent of democracy back into Myanmar and increased engagement of Western nations with Myanmar.

One can take this in the overall Indian role in facilitating breakthorugh in relations of these countries with other like minded and democratic nations - vietnam, iran and myanmar are but a few names where India has worked to bridge their differences with the US too.

Great foreign policy initiatives.

You are arming a nation and fueling the conflict. That is not a great foreign policy initiative. You accuse other countries of fueling conflicts and supporting certain sides. This is really no different. The rebels can easily target Indian interests.

Wise foreign policy move by India.

We have been neutral for long, and lost many allies. Now it's time to take sides, be it Myanmar, Afghanistan or Syria.

Myanmar, Bangladesh, Vietnam.. Indian efforts in Afghanistan. Also India's recent initiatives towards Syria(India was one of the few countries to not leave its Embassy in Syria). Within a few years the economic integration will give huge benefits to South Asia with one country staying out of it..

You are a Pakistani, right? So how do you justify Pakistan's policy anywhere, Afghanistan or Kashmir? Maintain a consistency in your logic.

Thanks

Myanmar already got nice equipment on their own bills, surely Brahmos can't be used against infantry rebels who staying long in the jungles.
