- ORF Neighbourhood Scope | Decoding Myanmar | Since the 2021 military coup, Myanmar has descended into a multifaceted civil war. The military junta, officially known as the State Administration Council (SAC) is facing resistance from the National Unity Government (erstwhile government), ethnic armed organisations, and civilians alike. These groups have made considerable ground, controlling large territories of the country that were previously held by the military. While the military has attempted to regain these territories, the protracted civil war is posing challenges to the entire region. India is reinforcing its security in the northeast, while Bangladesh and Thailand prepare for potential surges in displaced individuals. concerns regarding crimes against civilians, arms and drug trafficking and cybercrimes have also increased in the recent past.
How will this protracted civil war impact Myanmar? How are countries like the US, China, and Russia engaging with the ongoing situation ? What are the potential implications of these developments to Myanmar’s southeast Asian neighbors? How will these developments impact India’s security concerns, especially along the Indo-Myanmar border and the Bay of Bengal region? What is the endgame in Myanmar?

Thanks India for your interest and concern over Myanmar ongoing crisis! We hope to continue good friendship and prosperous economic relationship with India in the future.
Big thanks to Rami dasai.!!
Very good initiative and one of the most important discussions ever happened in India's media fraternity. It makes sense of inclusiveness of Manipur and North east states of India.
i thought manipur was once part of myanmar before the british did their thing?
Kuki from Myanmar+Bangladesh+ Manipur+ Mizoram are trying to break India to form seperate country call Kuki Land.
Untrue. Totally false. Don't spread misinformation. Shiek hasina blamed the kuki zo but it's the muslims who tried to drive out the Hindu from Bangladesh not the christians
Meitei with their lies deserves an Oscar.

Thank you Rami for that grounded truth and the reality explanation. And thank everyone for the good information.
Sadly she knows nothing about Myanmar. Just reading from Internet and feedback from meetei. Nothing related to reality.
India has some of the best professionals on our side ✨
@@ardyfelkimWhen truth is spoken it is unfair not to appreciate. By the way Rami is just among the few who has both studied and experienced about NE and also neighboring countries. She is one of the few who love this country with true spirit and she will not fall into the illegal drug money trap.
@@SeekGodsKingdomFirst sorry I'm not buying your crab coz she doesn't know a thing but the meetei narratives

The lady next to former India Ambassador can point at all reality what is happening now in Myanmar, She is so straight forward
Hats off to you Rami, such a clear explanation ❤❤
Your concern is appreciated.
Thank you soo much everyone for bringing up truth infront of worldwide
The way of your discussion is something like treating Myanmar as a dying prey around which three tigers are trying to eat alive.
Burmees will talk about burma i mean myanmar while Indian is praising india....
Haokip means next to le-T..
And Indian Mujahideen....(kuki nomenclature)
exactly
Panelists interest in Northeast part of this lovely country which have been ignoring for decades by its own government is respectful 🙏
Very insightful and helpful discussion 👍🏻
The reaction towards the Myanmarese refugees is due to ignorance rather than any communal hatred. The people need to be made aware of different ethnicities in Myanmar. Manipuris' insecurity stems from the ChinKukiZo tribes who have been welcoming their kin from across the border and making them Indian citizens seruptitiously. Manipuris should differentiate between such infiltrators & genuine refugees.
Your claim oversimplifies and misrepresents the reality of the situation while perpetuating harmful stereotypes and misinformation. The reaction toward Myanmarese refugees, particularly the Chin-Kuki-Mizo tribes, is rooted in a calculated narrative designed to delegitimize the Kuki-Zo community rather than mere ignorance. Welcoming refugees, especially those with shared cultural and familial ties, is a humanitarian act aligned with India’s tradition of offering refuge to persecuted groups, not an illegal conspiracy. Allegations of mass naturalization lack credible evidence and serve as fear-mongering tactics that unfairly malign an entire community. Misplaced insecurities, fueled by demographic fears, exploit genuine refugees as scapegoats for systemic governance failures and ethnic tensions. The rhetoric of differentiating between refugees and "infiltrators" is often a pretext for targeted actions against the Kuki-Zo people, including land grabs, erasure of history, and discriminatory labeling. Politicizing refugee issues diverts focus from addressing the real causes of unrest-biased policies, propaganda, and the need for fostering coexistence.
@nemophilist90 "Welcoming refugees with shared cultural & familial ties is a humanitarian act". True. But enrolling them as legal voters & making them citizens of the country, with all the benefits of ST quota, is a declaration of war against the local indigenes. The refugee issue isn't related to just the current influx. They have been infiltrating since the 60s. The 1988 crisis in Myanmar pushed in the maximum number of refugees who have been now assimilated into the population. Why are the ChinKukiZo groups against identification of genuine citizens?
@@nemophilist90instead of writing such a long story why not support revocation of FMR, agree border fencing, NRC, revocation of SoO, equal land rights for every citizen of Manipur & stop poppy cultivation.
All will be well if everyone adheres to these points, simple.
@@nemophilist90 who is grabbing land by whom? Meitei are confined in the 9% of the land by political compulsion so called scheduled tribe for decades and cannot make new villages, whereas kuki are taking advantage in the name of st, coming from Myanmar and making new villages in the name of blood brothers and claming this and that are kukis areas. Ask any ethnic group from Manipur who are not kuki about the mushrooming of new villages. Manipur government did make the refugees camp as a humanitarian, but most of them were refused to stay in the camp and making new Village and disturbing the demographic of the state.
The misrepresentation of the Kuki Zo community as illegal immigrants undermines their rich history and longstanding presence in Manipur. For millennia, the Kuki Zo people have been integral to the cultural and social fabric of the region, living independently in the hill areas and contributing to its diversity.
The narrative that paints them as recent immigrants from Myanmar neglects historical evidence and misrepresents their identity and rights. It is crucial to recognize that many Kuki Zo have been freedom fighters and important contributors to the region's history and unity.
Labeling this community as "infiltrators" is a harmful oversimplification that ignores their legitimate status and contributions. Such rhetoric only fuels division and overlooks the need for compassion and understanding. It is essential to differentiate between individuals seeking refuge and the established, indigenous Kuki Zo population, who rightfully belong to the land they have inhabited for centuries.
Promoting coexistence and addressing misinformation are vital steps in ensuring justice and peace for all communities involved. Let's focus on fostering an inclusive environment where historical truths are respected, and every group is treated with dignity and respect.
Important meeting nice conversation great to hearing considering for Myanmar 🇲🇲
Thank You ORF meeting hall All 🙏🏽
Manipur situation is more serious than Myanmar. But neither BJP/NDA Government headed by Modi nor Indians except Ramiji has seriously discussed like this. In other words, Indians are worried for Myanmarese than Manipuris.
You judge this basis this one discussion? True that India needs to involve and pay attention to North East but that doesn't mean your conclusion is correct. Barely anyone is aware things unfolding Myanmar. People are aware of Syria because that's the news they see on western channels and later followed by Indian channels
See how the cookies crumbled 😂😂😂
Finally after 4 years one of our neighbors wake up looking for solutions, we seriously would like to see India not helping dictator politically and morally!!!
We would need support from any international community for overcoming this crisis and overthrow the regime!!!
Very informative & important podcast. Thank you for it. ❤
It would have been meaningful if they had discussed fostering peace in Manipur. Since Independence, our voices have been consistently ignored, and even today, we remain under oppression, left to fend for ourselves.
Big think tank, mam Rami.., course of North East. 👍
Hello all,
Thank you for your discussion about Myanmar crisis.
We all know that China doesn’t want any of their neighbors leaning to the West, especially the United States. They start backing Myanmar military when they see that the military regime about to collapse. I’m afraid that China want to install puppet regime in Myanmar. If Myanmar military becomes their proxy, they will have easy access to Indian Ocean via Rakhine state. They can even build very large naval base there to counter India. India should consider seriously, and don’t allowed any Chinese bases around Andaman Sea.
India and Myanmar have long historical friendships between two countries, but for now Modi Government's policy to support junta destroying this historic relationships.
What was the alternative? India did try idealism for a few years in the 1990s, with a total boycott of the military government. Absolutely nothing was accomplished, although China 'accomplished' more and more penetration and influence, thus causing security concerns for India. India did the right thing, not the most idealistic thing.
@chandrukrishnan6445 well, there is no alternative ways. There is only one way, that is to support people of Myanmar will , not Myanmar Government will, Friendship between people will last forever, Friendship between Government will never last. One day Modi's Government will loose power but what Mod' Government policy towards Myanmar never forget by Myanmar people. We Myanmar people want live our neighbours with peace and stability and recognise their culture . But our neighbours India and China are very selfish that they see their own interests that is a problem. You will see one day war between China and India will come , KAMA will come , we are waiting for this time God see us 🙏
Even Indian army denied drone attack in Manipur, very intelligent Rami is sprewing lies there. Very intelligent😂😂
We have long been waiting for your critically neighborly interest

In the early 1950's, during the Chinese invasion of Tibet, Indian political observers and politicians back then, might have mentioned the same thing like it was a Tibetan problem and it was for them to solve. So now China is at your doorstep, knocking at your door. Now history is repeating itself. Before too long, all of us should anticipate, the realization of express train service between Kuming Yunan and Kyaukpyu, Rakhine state, follow-up by the Rakhine-based Chinese naval base, and the presence of its submarines and aircraft carriers in the Bay of Bengal. Cheers!

Please don't say pro democracy to those who wage war against their own country. Pro democracy should use non violence as a means to protest against the ruling administration.
Shut up. No freedom was ever won without armed struggle.
You don't know nothing about Myanmar stop acting like you do.Our people suffer from 50 years of Military Coup.Then we got democracy 5 years.Then Military Coup again in 2021.We protest peacefully in 2021 but they torture us,beat us, shoot down thousands of peaceful protestors.Every evidence had been report to UN u can search them, what have you been doing these years.Watching Chinese TikTok shxt?Don't tell anything what you don't know about.Now peaceful protesters

Interesting
India, thanks for taking interest, concern to end the turmoil in Myanmar due to military undutiful to its primary duty and ruthlessness actions done to its people.
Too late to start though; but late than never.
It's easy to just 'shove dirts under a carpet' just to keep the 'calmness' BUT this conflict is about 'GOOD AGAINST EVIL'. Whose side will you be on? (Also, Remember the 'Domino Effect' during the Vietnam war?)
Here Rami neither said anything wrong about the Kukis nor spoke in favour of Meitei. In short she said refugee are taken gud care of in Delhi but IDPs in Manipur for both Kuki n Meitei must be the priority to be taken care of and Bablu 😮 asking an ironic question about the refugee to be taken care of in Manipur where Refugees the migrants are the problem itself in the state as she clarified.
On other hand, "If they don't get what they want in Myanmar, the territorial demand will come in our borders" said by the Rami is cent percent correct, it is obvious that it happened n happening and in the comment section many illigal immigrants are giving biased comments against her why??? 😮😂
Coz these are the people who wants a dominant territory. 😂 they want to loot others.
I want to read one of the books written by Rami Desai, please suggest me
Chinese government is supporting Myanmar military 😢😢
And meetei also supporting junta
Thouh it is internal affairs, due to the long borders sharing, India should not neglect for so long until China obviously interfering and controlling Myanmar.
Big thank india
Thanks India.
India is the biggest democracy country but the action on Myanmar is like China and Russia..shamful
Now I understand why Bablu is in exile.
Broken north east by divide and policy with ethnic identity politics means =catastrophic chapter of Broken India ...
Medam rani Desai amongst as indian iself apriciate because india why india govt😅 1:06:23
Exactly India is ignored
Thank India.
Thanks Indian
If India government sounds the same as this ambassador, nothing would ever happen. He keep saying that India will miss some opportunity if it does not do something, but he also keep saying everything is Myanmar in court, and India can't do anything. He even sided with ASEAN and protected their action, who did nothing.
Rami is the same. She approach from India centric and has no insight of Burma events. So.. if India government take their says, then it is simple. Nothing will happen. Haha...
Sreeparna is the only one who is insightful and know in and out.
Either the English definition of "Tribes" and the Persian definition (the administrative language before the Europeans came) of "Varna (#Caste)" has been fit into the reality on the ground.
The modern assertion in India is rather more confusing than the neo-Confucianism.
❤
And this Desai acts like she knows about everything in the universe 😂
Lol india internal security
There is no civil war in Myanmar. Just like what happened in Sri Lanka it is the Army against terrorist, That's why the western powers who created many military coup'detas in Asia, Africa and Latin America is against the Military Government in Myanmar. The Army took over power in order to protect Buddhism in Myanmar, not because they enjoy being in power. They could not be currupt, otherwise they would'nt have lasted for almost seven decades.
Discussion on the issue concerning NE without any resource person from NE, is interesting. 😂
Hahahahaha you took the word out of my mouth
Real Manipur Indigenous people is Meitei hindu and Naga. Kukis Peoples had came from other Country and they cultivated Poppy earn money and buy guns they had already plan for separate this is very bad idea refugees Kukis.We Meitei, Naga don't want to stay Kukis people in our Mother land Manipur India.
Rakhine, Chin, Cox’s Bazar and Chittagong port and Hill Tracts may form an independent state supported by India.
Pretty lame discussion I have ever heard of. First, you all buy a narrative for regional stability. So far No one paid the price except the Burmese people in resistance. It is a n active resistance with whon non of you identify and you just spread false alarms and false fear taht our resistance from below will consume Myanmar's selfish nations. No one wants to enter India as India itself is not in a good shape. All refugees will return back to their homeland once the Fascist regime is rooted out. All neighbors look out for their own interests...We know what kind of foreign policy India has held onto. There is so much oppression in my country, they will be revolution. India itself never experiences a common people-based public policy..You know why? Like in Sri Lanka, your independence was handed down by someone, and post WW2 India had zero transition to construct the nation properly. We dont care about your parlimentary democracy which is not even stable. BTW Amara Thiha is a pro-Fascist, pro-West liberal who knows nothing about the dynamics on the ground. Your whole discussion is so lame and useless.
Thanks for the discussion. I have a lot to contribute but in this contest, I’ll point out only 2, undiplomatically. (1) Burmese Army gets a large chunk of money from narcotic trade and cybercrimes. They won’t give that up. (2) China gets huge amount of natural resources and important access to Indian Ocean. It is only possible by corrupt Army government. It won’t allow Junta to fell. China is main supplier of lithium to the world. Half of it comes from Burma. China gets all these with extremely cheap price. Harvard study showed $ 30 billion of Jade stones by paying only $10 billion, in one year. All these incomes are mostly filling the pockets of army generals, not to the national budget. If possible, you can see in Swiss bank and Singapore bank accounts. I would like to warn that, as long as the junta is in power narcotics will flow all over the world, not only India.
@ORF.. So no Mention about the SUPREME LEADER failure to address this Manipur issues.
To fill the vacuum created by Double Engine BJP govt. in Manipur they’re now blaming all these factors. What a clever cover up of this BJP Sarkar 🙏

India and Burma do not have a border in between them. Instead, there is a hill country inhabited by different indigenous tribals.
Later, became "independent hill country" due to the 1917-1919 Anglo Kuki war fought by the Kuki-Chin tribes of British Assam, due to which colonial British failed to "annexed" and colonize under British Administration. So colonial british fenced "independent hill country" with ILP Inner Line Permit that prohibits Burmese Nationality and Indian Nationality to enter and the authority to ILP belongs only to the Kuki-Chin tribes. And this was done in protection of indigenous people's human rights of the indigenous tribals.
Now the meetei included themselves within the ILP and tried to claim the ILp as theirs
@ardyfelkim Ibobi appointed TN Haokip and sent him to Delhi to deactivate ILP, but he was rejected by the Central. The Central knows very well that though TN Haokip belongs to Kuki-Chin tribes who have the authorization over ILP due to the 1917-1919 Anglo-Kuki war, joined the Indian government and became Indian Nationality and therefore cannot authorize ILP according to International law amendment. And Ibobi learned his precious lesson in his lifetime. But from here, no more misuse of identities and authorization and signatures of the Kuki-Chin tribes
@@Chahsat_warrior your shallow knowledge about the ILP can be known from your statement that you think IPL started after the Anglo Kuki war only.
@ardyfelkim That's not the point. The point is ILP authorisation belongs only to Kuki-Chin tribes of British Assam for colonial British failed to "annexed" Kuki-Chin tribes homeland due to the 1917-1919 anglo Kuki war. That is why colonial British fenced "independent hill country" of the Kuki-Chin tribes with ILP Permit and ILP authorization belongs only to Kuki-Chin tribes.
@@Chahsat_warrior
The initial implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in Manipur was indeed focused on the hill areas and tribal populations, not the Meitei who primarily inhabit the valley regions.
The British introduced a form of ILP in Manipur after the Anglo-Manipur war of 1891. This system was primarily designed to:
1. Protect British commercial interests, particularly in oil and tea plantations
2. Control movement between the hills and the plains
3. Protect tribal interests and cultures in the hill areas
The system evolved over time:
1. Initially, it restricted tribal people from entering British-controlled areas
2. Later, restrictions on tribal movement were eased, allowing them to fish, hunt, and attend markets freely
3. The system then primarily applied to people from neighboring plains districts of Bengal and Assam
It's important to note that the Meitei, who predominantly live in the valley areas of Manipur, were not the original focus of this system. The ILP was primarily aimed at regulating movement in and out of the hill areas where various tribal communities resided.
After India gained independence, changes occurred:
1. In 1950, the Commissioner of Assam, under whose jurisdiction Manipur fell, revoked the ILP system in the areas that would later become the state of Manipur
2. This revocation led to significant population changes in Manipur
The current demand for ILP in Manipur, which includes the entire state (both hills and valley), is a more recent development. The official implementation of the modern ILP system in Manipur only began on January 1, 2020, covering both the hill and valley areas, including Meitei-dominated regions.

It is both baseless and whimsical to claim that the conflict in Manipur is fueled by unrest in Myanmar. The root causes lie within deliberate actions and narratives that have targeted the Kuki-Zo community. Labeling a community as foreigners, propagating hate rhetoric, and attempting to dispossess them of their ancestral lands under the guise of declaring them reserved forests-without adhering to the prescribed rules-are acts of systemic marginalization.
The events of May 3 further exemplify this agenda, as radical Meitei organizations were deliberately mobilized to block roads and incite chaos. This was compounded by the dissemination of fake news about sexual violence, which inflamed hatred and fueled attacks on the Kuki-Zo people. Shifting the blame to external factors, such as the situation in Myanmar, is not only an evasion of responsibility but also an insult to the intelligence of those who understand the underlying issues driving this conflict.
You sound exactly like the Kuki Chin refugee from Myanmar.
The world knows who started May 3 & for what reason.
No need to write a book here but just agree with GOI policies.
All will be well than.
Since you will deny anything that an Indian says or does, you can find books by yourself how Kuki-Zo tribes were brought by British from Myanmar into Manipur after the first Anglo - Burmese War to use them as mercenaries to fight and protect Britishers from Naga Tribes.
So, it you go before that, there was no Kuki-Zo tribes in Manipur and your Ancestral land propoganda falls flat.
Secondly, India on gaining Independence, recognised Kuki-Zo tribes as citizens of India who were there in India before independence. But the problem starts when Kuki - Zo tribes bring in infiltrators from Manipur into India to create instability using their support and drugs money.
You all wanted to fight because poppy cultivation was being destroyed actively by Manipur govt which had become main source of income for all.
@@kaustubhshukla5311 Your claims are a mix of historical inaccuracies and unfounded stereotypes, which I will address systematically:
1. Historical Presence of Kuki-Zo Tribes:
The Kuki-Zo tribes' presence in the region predates colonial intervention. Numerous oral traditions, archaeological findings, and recorded histories point to their indigenous status in the hills of Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, and beyond. The British, during their rule, exploited existing rivalries for their benefit, but that does not erase the tribes' historical roots. Painting them as mere "mercenaries" for the British is both reductive and misleading.
2. "Ancestral Land":
The Kuki-Zo community’s ancestral claim is based on verifiable habitation and historical settlements. You may want to research the colonial demarcation of territories, which often ignored indigenous boundaries. Terms like "Chieftainship," "village republics," and the land management systems of Kuki-Zo tribes existed long before external interventions.
3. Citizenship and Allegations of Infiltration:
India recognized Kuki-Zo tribes as indigenous citizens post-Independence because their roots in the region were undeniable. The accusation of mass infiltration is a propaganda narrative that has been used repeatedly to alienate and demonize the community. If there are issues of border security, the government should address them appropriately instead of targeting a single community.
4. Poppy Cultivation:
This is another gross generalization. The majority of Kuki-Zo people are hardworking, law-abiding citizens who rely on agriculture, trade, and education. Linking an entire community to drug cultivation is not only irresponsible but also fosters hate and division. Additionally, if poppy cultivation exists, its demand and supply chains involve actors far beyond a single group, including consumers from other communities.
5. Root of the Conflict:
The ongoing Manipur conflict is not about poppy fields but stems from political marginalization, systemic discrimination, and ethnic targeting of Kuki-Zo communities. If the Chief Minister of Manipur and certain groups continue to demonize the Kuki-Zo people, it perpetuates violence rather than resolving grievances.
The funny thing is you kukis don't have any kingdom throughout the history, neither there was the name 'kuki'.. you can say there were lushais, thadou, paite, etc .
Mention any war that was fought with your neighbouring kingdoms like meitei, tripura or ahom under the banner kukis .. you wouldn't find any, kiddo..
and if you have learn anthropology and history a bit, you would know the cultural and language similarity between any community is due to social mobilization and not because it is your akin.. educate yourself more kiddo..
Also in this 21st century, what you are carving doesn't come from shared cultural and historical perspective.. it comes from your political and resources greed..
"Global stakes"? What "Global stakes"? It is a domestic concern and a regional one to resolve. Outsiders do not have any business getting involved. Particularly the US and the UK.
This rami spit nonsense. She doesn't know anything about northeast. Her sources is heresay and what media portrayed northeast to be. Imt from northeast and i can tell you she's doesn't know about northeast at all.
