Anyone interested in developments in Myanmar should be interested in this timely and relevant book."Melissa Conley Tyler, National Executive Director, Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA)
“…a very timely and valuable addition to the emerging corpus of literature on Myanmar.”Shyam Saran, former Foreign Secretary

“A definitive work on India’s relations with Myanmar.”U Wynn Lwin, former Myanmar diplomat

“If the author had presented it as his PhD thesis to the University of Yangon, he would certainly have been awarded a doctorate!”Dr. Khin Maung Nyunt, a celebrated Myanmar academic
“[The book offers] a ringside view and is very, very good.”Kavi Chongkittavorn, a well-known Thai academic and commentator
“A great book on Myanmar.”Gwen Robinson, Chief Editor, Nikkei Asian Review
 "...this book is a timely and a treasured addition to the topical theme of 'Changing Contours' between India-Myanmar relations and unique in providing an Indian perspective on the country.  [...] Describing various critical junctures and fault-lines in the political history of Myanmar and given the troika of challenges the country faces today...this book would be useful for researchers, scholars of international relations and area studies programme as well as to policy makers, strategic think tanks and for all Myanmar watchers in general.  The book would also provide a point of reference for future scholarship and writings on India-Myanmar relations."
Sonu Trivedi, Book Review
The Global New Light of Myanmar, 9 October 2015
"The book, timed to coincide with Myanmar's historic November 8 elections whose results are due towards the month-end, is a handy guide to navigating a high-priority spot in India's worldview."
India Today - 23rd November 2015
"The title may not be fancy but ambassador Rajiv Bhatia’s book, India-Myanmar Relations: Changing Contours, but its content far exceeds expectations. It has not only turned out to be a defining book on India-Myanmar relations, it also offers a rich narrative on the shared history of the two southeast Asian neighbours, and Myanmar’s shaking off of its colonial past and evolution as a nation-state."  
The Asian Age - 18th November 2015
"Bhatia has written a fine resource book on India-Myanmar ties."
Vivek Katju, The Indian Express, 28 November
"As a former ambassador to Myanmar, Bhatia is uniquely suited to provide a better understanding of Myanmar, its internal dynamics and of India’s relations with it at this interesting time...Myanmar scholars can expect much—facts, sound analysis and supportive evidence."
V.S. Seshadri, Outlook magazine, December 2015
"The book will be of interest not only to students of international relations and diplomats but also to the general public in India, Myanmar, and the wider India-Pacific region...Rajiv Bhatia has made a significant contribution to our knowledge of the East." - K.P. Fabian, Frontline magazine, Print edition : January 22, 2016
"By approaching the subject of India–Myanmar relations from various perspectives—historical, political, economic and cultural—the author has been able to bring out the multi-dimensional nature of the relationship. In his work he is able to establish a valuable connection between Myanmar’s domestic and foreign policy, the regional with the global. This book can be profitably consulted by scholar and practitioner alike and will be a valuable addition to any library." - Udai Bhanu Singh, Strategic Analysis (2016) 40:1, 67-68
"[The book] with its meticulous research and presentations could well become a text book on Myanmar for many...Rajiv Bhatia’s book will hopefully encourage more members of the Foreign Service to join the small group that seeks to bring to India and the world the fascinating realities of the countries in which they served." - Eric Gonsalves, Former Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs, Former Ambassador of India to Japan, Belgium, the EEC and Luxembourg, Indian Foreign Affairs Journal   Vol. 11, No. 1,  January - March 2016
"This book is an authoritative introduction to a neighbouring country that will only grow in importance." - Krishnan Srinivasan, India's former Foreign Secretary, Jan 2016, The Statesman
"People wanting to understand Myanmar’s rapidly changing place in regional security should read Rajiv Bhatia’s recently published and excellent book India-Myanmar Relations: Changing contours." - Peter Jennings, Executive Director at Australian Strategic Policy Institute, The Strategist
"For scholars and practitioners interested in India’s neighbourhood and India’s Act East policy, this book is a must read. For activists who are working on promoting democracy, the book will provide interesting and useful insights." - Sanjay Pulipaka, Senior Consultant, ICRIER, South Asia Economic Journal, 17(1) 1–2
"Rajiv Bhatia’s book, “India-Myanmar Relations: Changing Contours,” is...very timely and fills a huge gap in current literature about Burma’s foreign relations." - The Irrawaddy, 17 February by Bertil Lintner
"Ambassador Bhatia’s tenure as the head of the division dealing with Myanmar in the Ministry of External Affairs, his subsequent role as India’s Ambassador in Yangon, and his frequent interactions as Director General, Indian Council of World Affairs, with the leadership in Myanmar have given him a unique perspective on bilateral relations, and his book is rich in detail and perceptive in its analysis." - Meera Kumar, Gateway House: Indian Council on Global Relations, 30 March 2016 website
