ভারত কি চীনের মতো একই ভুল করবে মিয়ানমারে

India has welcomed Myanmar's junta leader, Min Aung Hlaing, treating him as a head of state during his recent visit. This engagement is driven by India's strategic interests in its long border with Myanmar and concerns about Chinese influence. New Delhi aims to protect its security and connectivity projects like the Kaladan multimodal project and the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway, which are crucial for its Act East policy and for addressing instability in India's northeastern states. However, the junta leader's control over the territories vital for these projects is questionable, as significant areas are now under the control of ethnic armed organizations.

India's engagement with Myanmar's military regime risks undermining its own strategic interests if it overestimates the junta's ability to ensure stability and control over critical border regions.
