This book explores the india–myanmar relationship in terms of ethnicity, security and connectivity. With the process of democratic transition in Myanmar since 2011 and the ongoing Rohingya crisis, issues related to cross-border insurgency are one of the most important factors that determine bilateral ties between the two neighbouring countries. The volume discusses a diverse range of themes – historical dimensions of cooperation; contested territories, resistance and violence in india–myanmar borderlands; ethnic linkages; political economy of india–myanmar cooperation; and act East policy – to examine the prospects and challenges of the strategic Partnership between India and Myanmar, and analysis further possibilities to move forward. The chapters further look at cross-border informal commercial exchanges, public health, population movements, and problems of connectivity and infrastructure projects.
