As a British Indian colony, why can Myanmar be independent without being captured by India?

The first is the question of faith and nationality. Myanmar broke away from British India.

Although India is the birthplace of Buddhism, which is not dominant in India, Hinduism has become the religion with the largest number of followers in India, followed by Islam, with fewer followers, while Myanmar is a Buddhist country, and the two nationalities are completely different. Therefore, when Myanmar was incorporated into British India, Britain increased its development of Myanmar, and India immigrated to Myanmar in large numbers. The influx of these immigrants had a fierce conflict with Burmese, and riots against Indian immigrants broke out in Myanmar from 65438 to 0930.

Because of the contradiction between Myanmar and India, the British began to consider a new way to govern Myanmar, allowing the Burmese government under British control to elect the prime minister. Later, Britain created a set of Myanmar Constitution, which allowed Myanmar to be self-governing, so that Myanmar broke away from British India and became British Myanmar. During the Japanese occupation of Myanmar from 65438 to 0942, Myanmar declared its independence from Britain, and Britain officially recognized Myanmar's independence from 65438 to 0948.

Second, India's geographical strength is weak.

Because British India is not an independent country, it is made up of many independent states, so when it became independent in 1947, British India was divided into two countries, India and Pakistan. After India's independence, due to its limited strength, although it occupied most of the territory of South Asia, it did not form a strong enough centralization to unify the entire South Asian plate. After losing Pakistan and Bangladesh, the territory of India is no longer complete, and even seven states in northeast China often strive for independence, with obvious separation tendency. Then India can only think about the territory of Myanmar, and it is impossible to incorporate it into its own territory. Even if one day India has the ability to incorporate Myanmar into its territory, China will not agree.
