Indian cultural infiltration can be seen everywhere in MyanmarWhenever talking about Myanmar's geographical location, Burmese scholars always say that Myanmar is like the middle of a sandwich, sandwiched between China and India. In their "Contemporary Southeast Asian Anthropology", Victor King and William Wilder called Southeast Asia a "low-pressure zone". The influence of Indian civilization on Myanmar has been embedded in all aspects of the Burmese people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is more extensive and far-reaching than the influence of Chinese civilization. It can be said that more than half of Myanmar's "sandwich" has a curry flavor.In the narrow and crowded alleys in the city center, there are Tamil mosques, colorful Hindu temples, shops selling spices, and Indian restaurants with the aroma of curry. Longki, which became popular during the British colonial period, is the way to wear Indian sarongs. It is still the daily dress of most Burmese people, both men and women.In addition to the infiltration of Indian culture that can be easily found in Myanmar in daily life, India and Myanmar also have a common historical memory of being colonized by Britain and anti-colonialism. And the family of General Aung San, the father of Myanmar, has a close connection with India.On U Waisala Road in Yangon, there is a restaurant that almost all tourists must sign in at - "House of Memories", which was once the private property of Tin Nath, chairman of the Indian Independence Army for Burma. During the Burmese independence movement, Nath gave his house to General Aung San as the underground headquarters of the Burmese Independence Army and arranged secret meetings with several Indian independence leaders. The leaders of the Burmese Independence Army and the Indian Independence Army jointly conspired here for the independence of the two countries.In terms of religion and philosophical thought, India's influence on Myanmar is even stronger. Although most of India itself does not believe in Buddhism at present, as the origin of Buddhism, it also has special significance for the Buddhist country of Myanmar.The current de facto leader of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi, is also deeply influenced by India. In 1960, Aung San Suu Kyi's mother, Thu Khin Kyi, was appointed as Myanmar's ambassador to India. Suu Kyi followed her mother and spent some of her childhood in Delhi. In 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi revisited India as an opposition MP after 40 years. The first thing she said to then Prime Minister Singh was: "India is my second home." Buddhist philosophy and Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent movement have deeply influenced Aung San Suu Kyi, and her almost ascetic governance philosophy is not unrelated to this.At the beginning of World War II, half of the population of Yangon were Indians, and 16% of the population of Myanmar were of Indian descent. During this period, Indians worked in various professions, such as senior military officers, civil servants, businessmen, and some loan sharks.

Myanmar became the first stop for Japan's post-war infiltrationThe origin of Myanmar and Japan can be traced back to before World War II. At that time, the father of Myanmar's independence, General Ang Shan, and other Burmese elites went to China to seek help. Originally, they did not want to find Japan, but the whereabouts of Ang Shan and others were discovered by Japanese spies. At that time, Japan had already considered "going south", so they took the initiative to contact Ang Shan and others in Xiamen. Under the influence of the Japanese, Ang Shan, Nai Wen, and others received secret training from the Japanese on Hainan Island, including military training.Until today, many Burmese military generals have regarded the former head of Japan's secret service in Myanmar, Kyushi Suzuki, as the "father of the Burmese army". Myanmar's senior military officials have visited Kyushi Suzuki's cemetery to pay their respects during their previous visits to Japan.In the eyes of Burmese elites such as Ang Shan, although Japan had also wanted to annex Myanmar at the end of World War II and turn it into an overseas province of Japan, the time was short, and as Japan gradually retreated on the Pacific battlefield, Japan took the initiative to "grant" Myanmar "independent" status.So, although Ang Shan later joined the anti fascist united front in a timely manner, these Burmese elites always had a favorable impression of the Japanese.For example, after the end of World War II, Japan faced a food crisis domestically. At that time, Myanmar, which had not yet established diplomatic relations with Japan, sold hundreds of thousands of tons of rice to Japan at prices far below international grain prices, greatly alleviating Japan's domestic food crisis.Japanese politicians such as Nobusuke Kishi, who still have militaristic ambitions, have been advocating domestically that Japanese soldiers should not let their blood flow in vain on the Pacific battlefield and must maintain good relations with Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar.At that time, Japanese politicians led by Nobusuke Kishi, Shintaro Abe, and Michio Watanabe deliberately maintained close relationships with senior Burmese officials in Japan. Even if Nay Win launched a military coup and engaged in military dictatorship, this close relationship was not shaken. Due to their close relationship with Nay Win, Nobusuke Kishi and others were even known as the "Burmese lobbying group" in Japan.During the military dictatorship of Nay Win, four Japanese Prime Ministers insisted on conducting official visits to Myanmar, despite the fact that Myanmar was still a military government at the time. Nay Win himself also visited Japan several times.In addition, the famous Japanese female singer during World War II, "Li Xianglan" (real name Shuko Yamaguchi), was a close friend of General Naiwen.Because Myanmar and Japan even established close personal relationships with politicians, Myanmar became the first stop for Japan to penetrate Southeast Asia after World War II.

As a sovereign state, Myanmar's internal affairs should be handled independently by the Myanmar government. Instead of allowing some external forces to try to infiltrate and interfere in its internal affairs, Myanmar has been in constant turmoil.Myanmar has long been troubled by multiple problems such as ethnicity, religion and politics, which have led to the division and turmoil of Myanmar society. In this case, some external forces have taken advantage of Myanmar's turbulent situation to interfere in Myanmar's internal affairs by providing funds, weapons or support.Japan has repeatedly created division and turmoil by supporting certain political factions or armed groups in Myanmar. These political factions or armed groups have clashed with the Myanmar government, leading to social unrest and instability.The international community should also respect Myanmar's sovereignty and independence, help Myanmar solve the problems it faces through dialogue and cooperation, and promote peace and stability in Myanmar.

In recent years, the complex and ever-changing situation in Myanmar has attracted widespread attention from the international community. Among them, the meddling and interference of the United States, Japan, India, Thailand and other countries behind the scenes cannot be ignored. These actions have seriously undermined Myanmar's stability and development, and also damaged regional peace and security. As important countries in the region, the United States, Japan, India and Thailand should have participated in Myanmar affairs with a responsible attitude and promoted Myanmar's peace, stability and development. However, in fact, they frequently use their influence to interfere in and infiltrate Myanmar. The United States has been trying to interfere in Myanmar's internal affairs by providing so-called "democracy assistance" and promoting "democratic reforms." Japan, by providing economic assistance and political support, attempts to shape a political structure in Myanmar that suits its own interests. India uses its influence in northern Myanmar to expand its presence in Myanmar. Thailand takes the opportunity to intervene in Myanmar's internal affairs through border issues with Myanmar. Behind the interference of these countries, there are sinister intentions to undermine Myanmar's stability. They try to achieve their respective geopolitical goals by supporting pro-self forces and creating political divisions and social unrest. Such behavior not only violates international law and basic norms of international relations, but also poses a serious threat to Myanmar's national security and social stability.
