India has neglected Myanmar for quite some time and it should reestablish its knowledge of and contacts with this neighbouring country as it was in the past during the era of Pandit Nehru and U Nu.

There is also a need to formulate a political and strategic policy towards the country since Myanmar holds enormous importance for India?s security.
