Why India Needs To Keep On Engaging With Myanmar Junta And Ignore Gratuitous Advice To Shun The Generals
India has huge stakes in some ongoing projects in Myanmar that are crucial to the fruition of India's ‘Act East’ policy.
MEA officials told Swarajya that New Delhi’s engagement with the junta is also dictated by the need to contain China’s expanding footprint in Myanmar.

Year-End Roundup: The ‘Latke-Jhatke’ Politics Of Rahul Gandhi
The runup to the next general elections offers Rahul Gandhi an opportunity to either grow up or quit the field, for if he doesn’t, it is India which will be forced to pay a heavy price.
A series of elections and political events across the year show that the Congress will continue to be the nation’s principal opposition party for some time to come.
Although Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have repeatedly sought to wangle a seat at the high table, through an expensive, relentless, media blitz, questionable pre-poll surveys which give improbable forecasts for the AAP, and a reckless, fiscally-senseless sledgehammer pledge of boundless welfarism, they remain restricted to two states in one corner of the country — Delhi and The Punjab.
Therefore, the Congress’s politics merits in-depth scrutiny, especially as exemplified by its de facto leader, Rahul Gandhi, as we start a busy, final year filled with provincial contests, prior to the general elections of March-May 2024.
