This is a “new” move by India in its relations with Burma. In the decades past India had either armed or cooperated with Burmese guerillas operating out of its territory. This policy changed in the past decade and a half to one of cooperation with Burmese military to root out ethnic guerillas on both sides of the border as its regional ambitions grew. This latest turn isn’t likely a reversal and reversion to the old policies of arming guerillas, but likely an attempt at becoming a power broker in Burma in order to grow its influence there.
