Summary/Abstract |
The above quotation decodes that President Thein Sein logically identified three most serious concerns of contemporary Myanmar - legacy of the long army rule, unremitting armed violence and economic stagnation - in his speech in front of the leading business and political figures of the world. In fact, one can make these three causes responsible for Myanmar's transformation from one of the brightest economies to an embarrassment for Southeast Asia, in the first six decades of independence.

Summary/Abstract |
Myanmar, earlier known as Burma, is on the cusp of a transition-a process that has to pass through formidable challenges and whose outcome is still quite uncertain. Five decades of military misrule have turned Myanmar that at one time used to be the richest into the poorest in South-east Asia and in a state of decline with an abysmal record in political, economic and social spheres. To recover from that decline, the country will need good governance, political reconciliation between the government and the opposition, between various ethnic groups and the government and the removal of long years of neglect of their aspirations and empowerment, between those opposition groups that remained within the country and the exiled groups, and finally, the goodwill and support of the international community. Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's democratic leader, has joined the political process and has become the leader of the opposition in the army-dominated parliament. She also faces formidable challenges, as she has to reconcile the wide expectations of people who still consider her as a political activist fighting for the cause and the imperatives of being a constructive politician who has no other option other than pragmatic reconciliation. Relations with China are one issue that will also impinge on future of democracy in the country.

Summary/Abstract |
India's Myanmar policy and its shift from an idealist position to one that is driven by pragmatism is a subject matter of much importance today as regards the success of India's rejuvenated 'Look East Policy'. Considering the reasons for the policy change, the article examines as to how far the policy is adequate for fulfilment of India's objectives in that country. But, above all, India has to maintain a cordial relationship with Myanmar's newly elected civilian government headed by President Thein Sein to extend its influence in Southeast Asia and also due to internal security concerns of its north-eastern states, which are under continuous threat from various insurgent groups.
