| Contents | The large porous and underdeveloped border could also be turned into a border of peace and progress. The pro-democracy movement and Myanmar’s integration with Western economies, would give a much needed push towards studying Western concepts and learning English. As such, India needs to open, near the Indo-Myanmar border, a large number of schools, colleges and a university specialising in teaching English and democratic concepts and shared cultures. Students with special passes should be able to just walk over and attend classes in India. The area is especially suited for Myanmar’s citizens near and around the capital Naypyidaw in Northern Myanmar, where the need is greatest. This matter needs to be pursued with the present government on priority. This would enhance India’s soft power status as also protect her interests. |
