Via: "Radhakrishnan" This is with compose to the events in Myanmarone can check the developments with guarded optimism. Guarded because you never experience with the military junta who are very adept at making a comeback and giving their adversaries (pro democracy groups) a befitting response. Moreover the international community has turned a blind eye to the developments particularly given a cold shoulder to pro democracy movement. To add to it China lapped it up with arrival of Chinese population investment roads infrastructure etc. So where do we displace India in the entire plot of things. India does have a historic role to be part of any democratic movement and assay more so in its immediate neighbourhood but with an experience of having intervened on the Srilankan request and as come up as appeals from various Tamil groups which ended in receiving a bloody nose. Hence there is a great amount of uncertainty and apprehensions to indulge in some what similar exercise. The only pleasant exception is the liberation of Bangladesh which was due to various factors ranging from millions of bangla refugees swarming into India and Pakistani military build up. Finally we undergo lost the earlier games on the oil/gas front vis a vis China. But these are desire standing competition and new exploration could prove in new gains so India might prefer to watch with warn. Moreover the international community's quest to promote a democratic and just order in military command ravaged Pakistan merely vindication the double standards and indifference which India is forced to act into consideration.
