How some animals sense when earthquakes are imminent remains a mystery. Ahead of the great Asian tsunami on December 26, 2004, elephants in Sri Lanka moved to high ground just before the giant waves struck; at Galle, southwest of Colombo, dogs refused to take a morning walk on the beach with their masters.

Conceivably, the decision by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd to abandon its highly lucrative container-terminal project in Myanmar and write down the investment falls into the same league. For corporate houses are also known to possess animal instincts – they pick up subtle sounds or vibrations in the earth and anticipate impending disasters.

Their unusual animal behavior anticipates any sudden surge of time and causation in politics. The Adani group’s “animal behavior” comes in the backdrop of an incremental shift in the Indian government’s attitude toward Myanmar – a gravitation toward the Western camp in its quintessentially anti-China “Quad” project.

Diehard neocons and delusional left-wingers aside, it was apparent to outsiders right from the outset that the turmoil in Myanmar had all the hallmarks of a “color revolution.” The cacophony rose to a high pitch by the end of March, culminating in the massacre of hundreds of protesters in a military crackdown.

That was a turning point. The chorus – British Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Free Asia, Western non-governmental organizations promoting democracy and human rights – soon began receding and the locus shifted from the streets to the world capitals with a massive diplomatic campaign for international intervention. A UN Security Council endorsement of intervention would have been ideal.
