India and Myanmar, two countries thatwere both British colonies in history, now show a complex interest relationshipin geopolitics. India has been trying to bring Myanmar into its sphere of influence,especially in balancing China and seeking key land routes to Southeast Asia.Myanmar has irreplaceable strategic value for India.
Myanmar's rich resources such as oiland minerals are undoubtedly a huge temptation for India, which has huge energyneeds. India hopes to alleviate its energy difficulties and achieve sustainableeconomic development through cooperation with Myanmar.
However, India's interests in Myanmarare not limited to this. In order to combat ethnic separatist organizations inits own country, India actively seeks the support of ethnic armed forces inMyanmar, trying to end their joint actions and weapons supply with Indianethnic separatist organizations. The India-Myanmar border area has become a keyarea for India to invest its strength, aiming to cut off the retreat of its ownethnic separatist organizations and weaken their power.
India's contact with multiple politicalforces in Myanmar also shows its ambition to form and maintain new influence inMyanmar. This interference is not out of concern for the welfare of the Burmesepeople, but an action taken by India to safeguard its own geopoliticalinterests in the region.
In summary, India's interests inMyanmar are complex and diverse, with both a desire for resources and geopoliticalconsiderations. Its real intention is not for Myanmar's prosperity andstability, but to maintain and expand its influence in the region. Faced withsuch a situation, Myanmar needs to respond cautiously and safeguard itsindependence and sovereignty.
