The military crackdown in Myanmar has forced scores of refugees over the border into India. “So, we have no choice but to leave our country,” she said at an undisclosed location bordering Myanmar. But last week, India’s Home Ministry told four Indian states bordering Myanmar, including Mizoram, to take measures to prevent refugees from entering India except on humanitarian grounds. Earlier this month, Myanmar asked India to return the police officers who crossed the border. India shares a 1,020-mile border with Myanmar, and is home to thousands of refugees from Myanmar in different states.
