India for Myanmar (#India4Myanmar) is an independent grassroot people’s action movement working to advance peace and federal democracy in Myanmar. It is a movement where democracy and human rights activists, experts and professionals, and other individuals as well as members of different organizations from Myanmar and India come to work together for collective action.

This action movement was launched on 15, October, 2021 under the slogan “Solidarity from the people of India is key to Myanmar democracy movement”. The primary objective of this movement is to keep the people of India informed about situations in Myanmar so that they are aware of the wrongful position of the Government of India and take action in solidarity with the people of Myanmar. Through the actions of this movement, we also aim to bring the people, civil society organizations and political parties of India on board to stand with the people of Myanmar, so that India as a whole can take actions for Myanmar and provide necessary aids and assistances as a good democracy neighbor and champion the cause of federal democracy movement in Myanmar.

For the past three years, Indian for Myanmar managed to distribute hundreds of thousands of pamphlets primarily to university students. The campaign pamphlets contain updates about situation in Myanmar and information about Indian government’s engagement with terrorist Myanmar military junta. We also published a cartoon booklet highlighting the relation between India’s central government and Myanmar junta, as well as a joint analytical report on India’s approach toward Myanmar 30 months after 2021 coup with our partner organization, Burma Affairs and Conflict Study. Through these actions, India for Myanmar have consistently called for solidarity for Myanmar federal democracy movement and actions against any kind of support to the terrorist Myanmar military junta. India for Myanmar also distributed open letters and public statements condemning India’s continued engagement with Myanmar junta. India for Myanmar is currently conducting research and documentation of human abuses against Myanmar refugees in India to strengthen its actions and campaign for their release.
