Could Myanmar become part of India?

[Bhaijaan]

A lot of rumours in recent times about the potential of Myanmar voluntarily joining Bharat.

Dont think it will serve India any advantage to have another trouble strifed state in their country. I am not well aprised of the situation though, what about some cost benefit analysis? @Bhaijaan

I said it on this forum many years ago that people take status quo too seriously. A lot of international borders aren’t even 100 years old and there’s no guarantee of them standing another 100 years. Look at how US is mocking Canada to become their 51st state and openly calling for Greenland to become their part. You have China taking over Tibet, Mongolia, Taiwan etc. Russia’s annexed a large part of Ukraine. With the current political and security situation in the subcontinent i have major doubts the status quo can hold for too long. Makes perfect sense for Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar to become a part of Bharat rather than acting buffer state between two giants and trying to extort money from both.

South Indian taxpayers won't pay for such nonsense. They are troubled enough.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Adding land is always seductive but I think its a dangerous game for India here.
India's interference will be an open invitation for China to march into myanmar openly.
We dont need another longer headache boundary with China. Myanmar is a nice buffer for both nations.

 

[gani999]

No Thank you!

We do not want territories from other countries that come with all sorts of nonsensical baggage.

Myanmar should remain independent. India can cooperate and help the Myanmarese if needed, but no annexation please

Burma is part of Akhand Bharat historically speaking.

No surprises if they want to rejoin the motherland

Expecting Nepal and Bhutan to follow

Within 20 years, Nepal, Burma, Bhutan to rejoin Bharat

Pakistan to rejoin within 50 years

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

They have shown the requisite hatred for Bangladeshi Muslims so would seem like a good ideological fit. But I don't see it happening as I just don't think Bharat is ready for the Akhand part.

 

[sweep_shot]

Are the Burmese people interested in that? Doesn't seem like it.

Also, will China allow it? China has interests in Myanmar.

 

[Mas-LFC]

No. China won’t allow it. But Rakhine state should be part of Bangladesh though. Am sure if remained, under united Pakistan, we would’ve annexed Rakhine by now with the help of West Pakistani atom and nukes. And solved the rohingya crises by now. China wouldve allowed it too.

I am happy that China is in the region to keep India in check. Without China, India could've been more problematic.

I agree with you that Rakhine state should have been included within Bangladeshi border. Rohingyas are ethnically closer to us than the Burmese.

There’s always someone, something bigger, better, stronger than you in this world.

IMO. China is indeed the lesser of the two evils. If you know what I mean brother .

Yes. I know China is not fault-free. But, lesser of the two evils as you said.

Without China there I reckon India would’ve acted more rogue and showed more dadagiri probably would’ve annexed Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, even Myanmar to reach south east asia market.

 

[Bhaijaan]

It’s only a matter of time.

People and army of Nepal want to bring back the Hindu Rashtra.

They were the original rashtra. Indian Hindus only talk big game.

Nepal doesn’t have 40 crore Muslims
Their population is 914 people

Thousands Flee To India As Heavy Fighting In Myanmar Forces People To Seek Refuge In Neighboring Nation​

Heavy fighting in war-torn Myanmar has forced nearly 4,000 people to flee into India in the last four days, Indian officials in the northeastern state of Mizoram said Monday.

The refugees, crossing thickly forested routes to neighboring India, ran from clashes between rival Chin armed groups, Mizoram state home secretary Vanlalmawia, who uses only one name, told AFP.

“Many of the people have relatives on the Indian side, so they are staying with them,” he said. “Others are being housed in community halls.”

The remote hill state is already hosting more than 30,000 refugees from Myanmar, where a deadly civil war has raged since the military seized power in 2021.

A senior state police officer said, “Approximately 4,000 people have come in the last four days”, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Police said the fighting between the groups — both of which oppose military rule — continues for control of the region known as Chinland.

“The situation on the other side of the border remains tense, so we have not asked them to return,” the police official said.

India, which has sought to deepen ties with Myanmar as a counterweight to China’s growing influence, has shied away from explicitly condemning the military coup.

Making Connections In Myanmar’s Fractured State
In a riverine battleground in western Myanmar, an entrepreneur hunts for reception using a makeshift bamboo antenna, his payphone kiosk providing locals a lifeline to connect with their loved ones.

In commercial capital Yangon, a student flicks through apps that cloak his online identity, allowing him to circumvent social media bans that accompanied the 2021 coup.

And in the mountainous east, customers at an internet cafe feverishly scroll for news from the outside, dependent on Elon Musk-owned satellites.

Four years of civil war between Myanmar’s military and its myriad opponents have shattered communications networks.

In response, people have resorted to methods ranging from the old-fashioned to the ingenious to the hyper-modern.

“I don’t want to be cut off from the world,” Hnin Sandar Soe, 20, said at an internet cafe in eastern Karenni state where she reads headlines, studies online, and reaches out to friends and family.

“It always brings a warm and comforting feeling to keep in touch with them.”

Myanmar has been under military rule for most of its post-independence history, but a decade-long democratic thaw starting in 2010 was accompanied by an astronomical growth in connectivity.

That year, SIM cards cost $1,000 and fewer than five percent of the population owned a mobile phone, according to World Bank figures.

Seven years later, that figure was 82 percent, as citizens seized on the rapidly developing cellular networks and novelty of free speech.

But since the military toppled the civilian government and ignited the war, there has been a slide back into digital darkness.

The junta has banned a slew of apps, conflict has eviscerated infrastructure and blackouts are weaponised by all sides.

In western Rakhine state, where civil war has intensified long-running conflict, reliable communications are now a dim memory.

Witnessing his neighbours hiking hills for a mobile signal, Saw Thein Maung founded an old-fashioned payphone business six months ago.

Today, he operates three phones wired to antennas on 10-metre (33-foot) poles that wobble in the wind above the delta town of Ponnagyun.

The business earns him a relative fortune of up to $23 a day as customers clamour to dial out.

“They don’t want to stop speaking with their children elsewhere. They don’t care how much they have to pay,” Saw Thein Maung said.

Customer Tun Lin, 27, uses the payphone to ring city-dwelling contacts to enquire about job openings.

“Making phone calls is the only way,” the unemployed former NGO worker said.

Satellite Solutions
The activist group Myanmar Internet Project (MIP) states that there have been nearly 400 regional internet shutdowns since the junta takeover.

What it calls a “digital coup” has slowed emergency responses, hampered education, and hobbled the economy.

“The public is experiencing hardship as a result of this insult added to injury,” said MIP spokesman Han, who goes by one name. “They are looking for all kinds of ways to resist.”

In Karenni state, an internet cafe with a glowing blue router offers an oasis of connectivity, bypassing restrictions by tethering to Musk’s Starlink satellite system.

The junta has not licensed the technology, meaning it is illegal to operate.

Cafe owner Marino had it smuggled over the border to his shop, where the cutting-edge web link contrasts with the corrugated roof and tarpaulin walls.

“We need the internet to know what is happening in our country or the world and if our friends are doing well or not,” he said.

Nearby, an elderly woman chatted on her phone, and a gaggle of teens played online games.

Major cities under junta control retain reliable internet, but Facebook, Instagram, X, and WhatsApp — where opposition groups have typically organized — are all banned.

In Yangon, virtual private networks (VPNs) provide a way to dodge the bans.

After the junta started blocking VPNs last year, a whisper network rippled through the city, with people sharing free options that still function.

One week the best is 1.1.1.1, before JumpJumpVPN emerges as more popular, and then everyone moves to Now VPN.

But the junta security forces now conduct spot checks for VPNs, said one 23-year-old student, speaking on condition of anonymity because he uses the outlawed apps.

“Other countries have internet freedom and young people can learn freely,” he said. “It is different in our country, where everything is restricted. I feel our rights are blocked.”

He remains undeterred. “We young people have a mindset that we will overcome any restrictions.”

The era of the minnow nations must end and India must take possession of many smaller nations around it for the sake of regional peace, security and development

Allah na karay

Our Quran teacher growing up was from Burma. Kind hearted individual. Hafiz of Quran and lived by it in terms of good conduct and being good to people rather than just memorize and not apply anything.

Hope he is well and that him and his people remain free away from tyranny.

Myanmar also has a martial art called Muay Boran. If Indian soldiers get too handsy time to unleash some elbows and headbutts

 

[JaDed]

A lot of them were decent people, years of Army Rules have created weird divisions and politics inside.

During the British Raj and even much after there were many Muslims of Indian origin that grew up there, faith adhering honest people, surely decay happened over the years.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The way India is declining at a rapid rate, facing military and diplomatic humilations regularly, it will be better for them to become part of Myanmar than fantasising about the reverse situation.
