Q2. India shares a 1,643 km land border with Myanmar. Given this geographic reality and Myanmar's role in India's strategic calculus, which of the following characterisations BEST explains why India continues diplomatic engagement with the military government in Naypyidaw despite international criticism?

AIndia follows a purely values-based foreign policy that mandates engagement with democratically elected governments only, making engagement with the junta an exception requiring parliamentary approval.
BPragmatic engagement is necessary because Myanmar's instability directly enables insurgent groups from India's Northeast to operate from Myanmarese territory and disrupts critical connectivity corridors to Southeast Asia.
CIndia's engagement is primarily driven by its commitment to ASEAN's principle of non-interference, which legally binds India to maintain diplomatic ties with all ASEAN member states irrespective of their governance structure.
DThe engagement is largely symbolic and is aimed at securing observer status for Myanmar in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).

The 'Golden Triangle' region, which is a major source of drug trafficking into India's Northeast, encompasses parts of Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. 4.
