Jaipur, India : One of the many supporters of Aung Sang Suu Kyi who is waging a lonely battle for greater rights in Myanmar, activist and author Ma Thida feels that despite being the world’s largest democracy, India has turned a blind eye to its eastern neighbour.
As a doctor and activist, who spent months locked in a prison where she came very close to death, Ma Thida finds the “ignorance” of the Indian government and its people towards Myanmar as a sad experience.
In Jaipur to attend Literature Festival, she talked about her country’s expectations from India and how she feels the rich resources in Myanmar turned out to be a “bad luck” for its people.
“India, especially the Indian government has turned out to be very ignorant about what’s going on in Myanmar,” she told PTI in an interview.
