Asian Confluence organised and hosted a talk “Whither Myanmar?” by Ambassador Rajiv K. Bhatia along with a discussion on his latest book India-Myanmar Relations: Changing Contours.
This book provides a comprehensive evaluation of India’s multi-faceted relations with Myanmar.

Based on meticulous research and understanding, the volume traces the trajectory of India–Myanmar associations from ancient times to the present day, and offers a fascinating story in the backdrop of the region’s geopolitics. An in-depth analysis of ‘India–Myanmar–China Triangle’ brings out the strategic stakes involved.
