I wonder what plan Modi has with this? is he trying to secure the border and crackdown on the ZRA and other India based insurgents that have crossed the border by negotiating with the NUG allied EAO's?

Is he hoping the negotiations fall flat so he could have a excuse to support the Junta more?

Im surprised nonetheless

(as in a previous post i noted I am just a interested American so please take my thoughts with a grain of salt)

I think it's two fold

1) he finally wants a piece of the soft power pie.

2) He wants to capture part of the 2020s IKEA warfare market

The way turkey has been earning fat stacks and monumental reputation by playing all sides probably made him realize that there's Money to be made here.

India always had a pretty bad issue with really projecting power especially given its size and nuclear status so this seems like an attempt to reverse that by starting small.

It helps that China is involved but in a very "any route to peace is acceptable" way. The junta was IIRC visited by a Chinese dignitary two weeks ago.

So now you have two powers working on the same issue but Modi is backing the western side only.

So if the anti juntas win he can collect a nice round of backpats and make china look bad in the process.

That's my take anyway but I'm just some person.
