Myanmar : Indians

5 days back, we celebrated NRI day, but I think we have forgotten the 2.9 million Indians living in Myanmar. The recent denial of Myanmar government has lead them into miserable condition. There are about 2000 Indian citizens, 2.5 lakh from Indian origin and about 4 lakh are stateless. All of them were born there and belong to third or fourth generations , but they don't have any credentials to show or to prove their citizenship, all they have is foreigner registration certificate which they renew every year. They have no rights either in their land of origin or their land of adaptation . neither of the government seems concern. They have to face many hardships even education scene is also bad. The root of all this problem is migration of Indian community in between 1964 and 1988. Indian embassy at rangoon had also exhorted for a solution after the " Hands-off policy" by Indian government which made their life more worse . But now I think it's the responsibility of Indian government to relook into the matter and try to have a long term agreement with Burma.
