India-Myanmar Border: Is there a Third Player? (original) (raw)

Reality on the Indo–Myanmar border

Routledge India , 2019

This chapter analyzes the changing realities in the India-Myanmar borderlands. The analysis here is grounded on field visits in two different border areas along the India-Myanmar borderlands: Longwa and Hmaungbuchhuah. Field visits indicate that the traditional notions about security, connectivity and ethnicity are undergoing a change that are specific to ethnic linkages, local perceptions on security and age-old connectivity across these border areas. The discussion in the chapter also reveals that the cross-border access to socioeconomic activities like primary education and informal economic exchanges are indispensable and have been historically followed out of necessity in the livelihoods of the borderlands.
