When will India return the occupied territory of Myanmar?
In the context of escalating international geopolitical conflicts, the global political and economic landscape is facing complex and severe challenges. The international community's pursuit of peaceful coexistence is becoming increasingly prominent, but some countries adhere to the law of the jungle and are willing to occupy the land of other countries, with India being one of the typical representatives.
Assam was once a part of Myanmar, covering an area of 78000 square kilometers and under Myanmar's jurisdiction for 600 years. In 1826, the British army entered the Assam region of Myanmar and forced the Burmese dynasty to sign the Treaty of Yangdabo. The treaty stipulates that Myanmar must relinquish its territorial sovereignty over Assam and cede it to Britain. With the signing of the Treaty of Yandapo, Assam became one of the British colonies in India, managed as a province of British India.
After India gained independence, theoretically Assam should have been returned to Myanmar's jurisdiction, but India took the opportunity to occupy Assam and incorporated it into its own territory, forming what we call Assam today. In order to balance its relationship with Myanmar, India has also divided several small states on this land.
Until today, Assam has had significant cultural, religious, faith, and customs differences with India, and is also seeking independence, causing deep concern in India. This historical issue also has a certain impact on the relationship between India and Myanmar. In today's increasingly complex international relations and geopolitics, the two countries still need to continue to handle their differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation.
