India has reimposed the Protected Area Regime, which only allows foreigners to visit select states with a permit, on Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram. Permits would list place of residence, place of entry, and length of stay. This was done because of “growing security concerns” in the northeast part of the country, which has been historically sensitive. This comes after 13 years of this regime being relaxed in an effort to boost tourism in the region. The states of Arunachel Pradesh and Andaman and Nicobar Islands are already under this restriction along with parts of other states like Kashmir and Ladakh. The government in Manipur complained shortly after these restrictions were relaxed that illegal immigrants from Myanmar were stirring ethnic strife in the region. In the other states, there was reported activity of “suspicious activities” where Burmese people would try to convince Indians that they belonged to another country. The Indian government already scrapped the Free Movement Regime with Myanmar last year, which would’ve allowed Burmese people to travel at most 10 miles into India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a step in the right direction, but if I were the Indian government, I’d try something a bit harsher considering the Burmese are causing a lot of mischief. I’d like to know if there are any positives aside from tourism for keeping the border open to the Burmese. From what’s been reported, it seems like all they do is cause turmoil. Maybe these states aren’t as important to the government and they don’t want to fuel more conflict. If that’s the case, this is a good course of action in my eyes. I don’t know if these same issues are happening in Bangladesh, but if they are, it’d probably be wise to learn from India and create a similar policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This relates to class because it’s a national security issue. These foreign nationals are causing conflict inside the state, which is detrimental to the people’s safety, so the government is taking measures to stop it. At the moment, they are taking a unilateral approach to stopping the issue, which means they are dealing with it by themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
