Is Myanmar raid Indian counter-insurgency shift?

Rebels from Nagaland and Manipur have formed a coalition
The Indian army has attacked rebels based inside Myanmar, days after at least 20 of its soldiers were killed in an ambush on a troop convoy in north-east India. Analyst Subir Bhaumik explains the significance of the operation.

In an unusual display of aggressive intent, the Indian army's helicopter-borne parachute commandos crossed the border into Myanmar early on Tuesday morning to strike at at least one camp set up by Indian rebels.

The rebels were reported to have crossed the porous border into Myanmar (also known as Burma) after last Thursday's ambush in Chandel district in Manipur state. At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed and 15 injured in the attack on a troop convoy.

There has been a fresh surge in attacks on Indian troops along the border with Myanmar after a number of rebel groups joined hands and formed a new coalition in India's restive north-east.

'A message'
Indian junior Information Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore told TV channels that the "hot pursuit strikes" had been authorised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"Attacks on Indians are not acceptable. This is also a message to our neighbours who shelter terrorists," Mr Rathore said, alluding mainly to nuclear-armed rival Pakistan.

India has tried for years to persuade Myanmar to evict rebels from bases in the thick jungles of Sagaing administrative region - bordering India's Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh - but without much success so far.

While Bhutan and Bangladesh have forced out many of the rebels and killed or captured others, Myanmar has said it could not follow suit because its army is stretched fighting bigger anti-state insurgencies in Kachin, Kokang and Karen regions.

After last Thursday's ambush left at least 20 soldiers dead in Manipur state, Delhi decided to strike back.

"Our surgical strikes on the rebel bases on India-Myanmar border were planned with specific intelligence that these rebels were planning more attacks. We have inflicted significant casualties on the rebels," Major-General Ranbir Singh of the Indian army said.

Manipur has struggled with an insurgency involving several militant groups
Military officials said army commandos were involved in at least two attacks - one on a Naga rebel base at Noklak in India's Nagaland state, and the other at Chassad in India's Manipur state.

Intelligence officials say a third rebel base jointly run by the Naga and Manipuri rebels at Onzia inside Myanmar was also targeted.

"Our soldiers crossed back without any casualties," claimed Maj-Gen Singh. Military officials say between 30 to 50 rebels were killed in the raids. There is no independent confirmation.

'History of co-operation'
Maj-Gen Singh also said India was "in communication with the Myanmar authorities on this matter", adding that there was a "history of close co-operation between our two militaries".

He is right.

Myanmar's forces have also occasionally crossed into Mizoram and Manipur states in India chasing their own ethnic Chin and Arakanese rebels. India has looked the other way when that happened.

"Now it seems that Myanmar will do the same," said retired military official Gaganjit Singh, who commanded an army division in north-east India at the peak of the ethnic insurgency in the region.

'We have good military-to-military co-operation with Myanmar and we both understand each other's compulsions. They have bigger insurgencies to fight, we have our own north-eastern rebels to tackle."

Myanmar's army did co-operate with India on Operation Golden Bird in 1995 to track down and attack a number of north-eastern separatists bringing in weapons from the Arakan coast.

"But since then, they have not done much against the north-east Indian separatists," says Myanmar watcher Binoda Mishra.

At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in the latest rebel attack
India's army has rarely crossed borders to attack rebel bases in neighbouring countries.

In 2003, that happened occasionally during a co-ordinated operation with the Bhutanese army to neutralise north-east Indian rebel bases in the Himalayan kingdom.

So Tuesday's attack inside Myanmar may be the beginning of a new phase in India's counter-insurgency strategy.

"India has the capability for surgical strikes across our borders. The political will was missing so far," said Gaganjit Singh.

"That may not be the case any more."

Pakistan should also do the exact same by starting cleanup in Afghanistan where these several hindustan consulates are busy exporting terrorism in Pakistan. Pack a lot of ammonium nitrate, ball bearings and shrapnel into a 155mm arty shell, dispatch it and level them to the ground. Thanks for the inspiration.

And yes - Pakistan indeed is not Myanmar/Burma. We are a nuclear state with the ability by land sea and air to turn india into a giant parking lot. Pakistan is not Myanmar indeed. Come at us and reap the "fruit" of your actions.

No need to give any statement. We all know that Indian aggression always gets silenced on the IB or LoC. Frustrated, they need something like Myanmar raid to boost their ego.

i think 2002 is no longer fresh in the memories

Mr Nisar should understand that India responds to Pakistani mischief in another manner.

Hint: There are a lot of freelancers in Pakistan to do India's work.

While maintaining the position that India has never ever attacked any neighbor...not China...Not Bangladesh...Not Burma...Not even Sri Lanka my dear. Not to mention Pakistan here...!

 

[Screambowl]

The scene of action is 2000km away from Pakistan. And look at Pakistanis . GoP trolled by GoI

 

[Pandora]

I suspect that BJP is on a diet of their own $hit. Every thing they say smells like a mouth fart.

A minister should respond with his or her position in mind. BJP ministers are bunch of amateurs trying to ease the egos

According to my analyses Pakistan will do some sort of activity in Kashmir now, to defame Indian army's this hot pursuit in Myanmar.

They will carry out a strike, and then challenge Indian Government to do similar against them. Indian army should be on high alert in kashmir and near IB, Sialkot Arnia sector.

Was that the time they mobilized, did nothing, and comically lost like 1000 men? Or was that 2008. Its hard to keep track with these clowns.
