After General Ne Win took control in 1962, he forced many Tamils to leave Burma. Even though Tamils had lived in Burma for a long time and were part of society there, the government discriminated against them. Also, in 1964, the government took over private businesses, which made things worse. Because of this, more than 300,000 Tamils left Burma.[1]

Relations with India[edit]
The decision to compensate Tamils for leaving Burma caused tension between India and Burma. The Indian government[2] expressed concern over the treatment of ethnic Indians in Burma, leading to diplomatic strains between the two countries.[3]
Assistance from the Indian Government[edit]
In response to the escalating situation, the Indian government intervened to assist Tamils and other ethnic Indians leaving Burma. They organized transportation, including ferries and Aircrafts, to facilitate their departure and ensure their safe return to India.
International impact[edit]
The assistance provided by the Indian government[4] highlighted the international ramifications of Burma's treatment of its ethnic minorities. The involvement of India underscored the need for diplomatic solutions to address the plight of displaced populations and promote regional stability.
Aftermath[edit]
After the initial expulsion, some Tamils chose to return to Burma, hoping to reclaim their lives. However, they faced further challenges and discrimination upon their return. To encourage their departure once again, the government offered monetary compensation, incentivizing many to leave for India.
