Okay... I do not know where you got all this information from but seriously; did you even read what you have written or think about it even once before posting? Please review your own comments once before posting such allegations as to why the riots happened.
1- Myanmar borders us, they don't have a problem with us unlike you. We share culture and faith with them and also a lot of customs here. Why and how is that a problem?
2- They have been helpful to us in many ways and helped us get rid of terrorists and drugs and human traffickers in the border areas. After the removal of sanctions, it makes us logical to proceed with business and opening tourism and aviation with a country that is just beside us. Myanmar is a strong proponent of Indian participation in ASEAN along with rest of the member nations. We buy massive natural gas from them them and have immense border trade with them which gives jobs and earnings to our people through trading points jointly set up. The benefits of border trade and violence-free zone is well understood by the Burmese government.
3- “Buddhist-Hindu peace zone”. It says Peace zone. What part of peace don't you understand?
By the way, here are some fun facts which you and your countrymen don't know:
a- Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs have regular meetings with each visiting the other's holy places, without any restrictions. I could go and meditate in a Hindu temple, pray in a sikh temple and similarly they could come and do the same at any monastery. Heck, the some of the biggest stakeholders at Mahabodhi temple (our holiest shrine) are Hindus.
Please don't relate us as three 'mutually exclusive entities' the way Christianity, Islam and Judaism are.
Your mistake is that you see the three of us with the same glasses as you see the other Abrahamic religions and their relations with you. This is where your analysis repeatedly fails.
b- BBS is a relatively new development in Sri Lanka which feels threatened that Buddhist culture is targeted there. They were not even there when RSS started (around 83 years ago).
Tell me something; according to your logic the Christians of west are feeling threatened by you; the Hindus are wary of you and now, you have the Buddhists too. Don't you think you need to see why these organizations just emerge?
c- Your analogy about RSS and RAW being the same is hilarious! If RSS was dismantling relations between you and Myanmar, why would Chinese be affected by it?
China has given more money and during harder times to Myanmar than we did. Why is it that Myanmar has limited their dependence on them?
Here's the thing; no one does anything for free. We cannot offer more cash than China and you know this and Myanmar is not some wuss democratic nation; it is ruled by a military junta for heaven's sake.
Unless you are suggesting that we threatened them with a takeover, your explanation really doesn't make sense.
Nepal's blockade was not imposed by India but by the Madheshi protesters who were rioting in response to the new constitution in their country. They did not let the trucks of fuel and cylinders pass into the country and only let food and medicines pass.
Check the geography of Nepal. Madhesh province borders our Bihar states and that rioting and protests were a serious problem for our authorities as this would have spiralled down into our state. How are we responsible for what they didn't allow in their country?
Sri Lanka's internal matters? Rajapakse got involved in massive scams with funds that were meant for investment and got voted out. By telling that we forced him to step down, you must know that he had the backing of China who is far more influential in terms of money, investments and backing than us. So please, make up your mind. Either ways, you are accusing the intellect of Sri Lankans who voted. It was not our folks who did the voting.
Afghanistan ASKS for us. They WANT us in their country. Their government lays a red carpet welcome to our officials, engineers, architects and government officials to help them rebuild. Why are you so pissed off about that?
President Ashraf Ghani did his best to rapproach with Nawaz Sharif ignoring India at first after election. Then he was the first one to rush forward to PM Modi and resume the strong and warm ties between our countries. Afghans don't have a problem with us; their government wants our presence there.
How is that foreign intervention?
Are you suggesting that we don't trade with Kazakhstan?
Perhaps a little understanding of international trade is what you need, sir.
Every country trades with as many countries as they wish and can.
That is how business is done.
Jews, Zionists, massacre of Muslims, evil Indians, Americans, RAW, RSS Hindus and radical Buddhists.
This is what you have extensively spoken here, none of which has anything to do with the topic at hand.
I was shocked reading that, as a Buddhist myself.
Wow ! You're giving Zaid Hamid a tough time.
