Abstract
Myanmar shares both land and maritime
boundaries with India. Northeastern India shares a 1643 km-long land border
(including the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram). India's
strategic ability in the region has been affected because of its long border with
Myanmar. India has had problems with internal security due to the influx of a
large number of refugees, and the ethnic conflicts in Myanmar have spilled over
into its territory. Additionally, the presence of armed ethnic groups along the
border has complicated India's security efforts. The conflict has created a human
rights and humanitarian crisis, with a significant number of internally
displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees coming to India and neighboring countries.
i.e., Rohingyas. This paper discusses the various challenges faced by India arising
due to ethnic strife, and the coup d'état of Feb 2021 in Myanmar has impacted
its relation and its strategic interest. The present relationship between them is
shaped by Myanmar’s internal ethnic conflicts, having major implications for
security, economics, diplomacy, and trade relations.
