Myanmar' is going through an unprecedented political and socio-cultural trans- formation. During the past five decades of military rule, the country witnessed supprasion of democratic norms/institutions, human rights violations, armed insurgencies by the sidelined ethnic minorities, detention of the opposition activists and leaders, especially the Nobel Peace laureate Ms Aung San Suu Kyi and the economic policies enforced by the junta, and left most of the common people impoverished, including the Indian Diaspora.

| Summary/Abstract |
Myanmar is an important neighbour of India as it shares extensive land borders with India's north-eastern states and maritime borders in the Bay of Bengal. The long spell of Myanmar's military rule forced India to follow a policy of disengagement with the Burmese authorities. It was only after India initiated its "Look East" policy in the 1990s New Delhi started its engagement with the military junta. Moreover, the recent democratisation of Myanmar has the potential to take India-Myanmar relations to a new height.

| Summary/Abstract |
Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork conducted at an East London Kickboxing/Muay Thai gym, this paper explores how fighters at Origins Combat Gym seek to reject race as a discursive category in favour of constructing each other as the same, bonded by years of intimately training alongside one another. Drawing upon Bourdieu, I conceptualise a racial habitus to argue that such processes are constrained; my field-site is not a racial utopia, even if it does allow for new possibilities. Nonetheless, my interlocutors’ attempts to reject the logic of ethnic absolutism through forging complex localised solidarities offers hope in anti-immigrant times.

| Summary/Abstract |
Myanmar is going through an unprecedented politico-economical and socio-cultural transformation, especially after the November 2010 general elections. The new military-backed, quasi-civilian government under the leadership of President Thein Sein of Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) advocated a reformist agenda namely, reached out to the Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi (ASSK), established the National Human Rights Commission, implemented a new labour law in consultation with the International Labour Organisation, relaxed restrictions on the media, allowed some economic liberalisation and released hundreds of political prisoners.
