India.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 1989, the name of the country was changed to Union of Myanmar and the capital Rangoon was renamed as Yangon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When I think of Myanmar, I remember Mr. U Thant the former UN Secretary General in 1961.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was a graduate student at that time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I used to hear his speeches in radio and read them in newspapers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I like those thought provoking speeches.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Today the people of Myanmar are looking at India and other democratic countries and aspire for the transformation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the iron hands of the military junta are the stumbling block.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It was in June, 1990 the first free election was conducted and the National League for Democracy won by a big majority but the army was reluctant to hand over power.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, the leading opposition leader, winner of Nobel Peace Prize and the world�s most famous political prisoner was kept under house arrest from 1989 to 1995.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For a long time, we did not hear much from Myanmar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Generally, the Generals used to give some reports regarding the developmental activities in the international media.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But recently, Myanmar is in the news in a big way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Non-violent protests sprang up in the streets of Yangon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The military rulers tried to control the protest marchers by cutting down the news, cell phone connections and other connectivity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In spite of their attempts the press and local people could able to <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">[https://Twitter.com/search?q=transmit&amp;src=typd </del>transmit<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">] </del>the videos of the actual happenings to the electronic media which flashed them all over the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The world came to know the unacceptable atrocities imposed on the protestors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The crack down on the protestors angered the international communities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Moreover, even the Buddhist monks were out on the street demanding democracy for Myanmar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The United Nations condemned the violence and called for the regime to end their bloody repression.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Myanmar is multiethnic country of about 52 million people in 676,553 sq. km.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In general, Myanmar is referred as rice bowl of the Far East.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is an agriculturally important country like India with a variety of crops like sugarcane and groundnut.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The future of Myanmar depends not on military rule, but on a decent democratic rule by the people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The visit of UN Special Envoy, Ibrahim Gambari was a hope for the fighting monks and Suu Kyi�s supporters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So far it was said that the happenings within Myanmar was purely an internal affair.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But now the international communities realized the unbearable hardships experienced by the people of Myanmar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The ASEAN nations made a statement condemning the crack down and high handedness of the junta.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Similarly India too asked to release Aung San Suu Kyi to find an amicable solution for making Myanmar a democratic country.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Violence on nonviolent pro democracy protestors warrants strongest condemnation from everyone.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The sea of humanity was seen on the streets of Yangon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They were the people who fight for political and economic justice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Buddhist monks, in huge number with thousands of the civilians came out on the streets of Myanmar�s capital city was really a freedom struggle shown to the world with great difficulty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What happened inside Myanmar in September 2007 could not be hidden by the military rulers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Government of Myanmar is governed by the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) and its chairman Than Shwe who is all powerful backed up by a mighty military force which is good in killing the unarmed nonviolent Buddhist monks and civilians.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The involvement of the monks in the pro democracy demonstrations was supported by monks all over Asia and in the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They extended moral support to their brethren in <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Myanmar</del>.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Dalai Lama in his statement said: �I extend my support and solidarity with the recent peaceful

I fully support their call for freedom and democracy and take this opportunity to appeal to freedom loving people all over the world to support such nonviolent movements. I pray for the success of this peaceful movement and the early release of fellow Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.�&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As usual George Bush, President of the US sought global support for sanctions against Myanmar.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Condoleeza Rice, the US Secretary of State advocated the spread of democracy and freedom throughout the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Belarus, Zimbabwe and Myanmar are the six countries, the UF wanted to bring in democracy and demolish the tyranny.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Myanmar has an estimated 30 trillion cu ft of untapped gas in the Arakan province and its sea-board.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;China and India, the great neighbors of Myanmar are very cautious in expressing their views openly keeping an eye on the gas reserves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The military government very well uses the revenue from the gas sales for buying arms.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The crack down on protestors was criticized by the left parties and appreciated the stand taken by Government of India (GOI).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;India�s relationship with the ruling military government was constrained more than one occasion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The award of Jawaharlal Nehru Peace Award to Suu Kyi in 1995 inked the Myanmar government.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The GOI provided refuge to thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators who fled Myanmar after the crackdown in 1988.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Those actions were not liked by the military junta.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;World politics is so complex that only intelligent politicians with experience can handle it taking into account of their own interests.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All these complicated political situations determine the destiny of a nation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the recent upsurge in Myanmar, it appears that there is a hope for this country to see the light of freedom and democracy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let peace and freedom make the monks and masses of Myanmar happy.</div></td><td
