[🇧🇩] Chicken Neck/Siliguri Corridor

[Saif]

The retired colonel warns India that if Bangladesh plays politics with Chicken's neck, the seven sisters of India will face dire consequence. I think the defense planners of Bangladesh should formulate a policy to gain maximum strategic advantage from India's Chicken's neck.

India fortifies 'Chicken's Neck' as Bangladesh, China eye strategic corridor

Bangladesh's overtures to China for potential investments have raised concerns in India about the security of the strategically vital Siliguri Corridor, commonly known as the 'Chicken's Neck.'

STRENGTHENING THE CHICKEN'S NECK

The Indian Army has described the Siliguri Corridor as its strongest defence line, countering any potential threats through advanced military preparedness. The Trishakti Corps, headquartered at Sukna near the corridor, plays a key role in securing the region. This corps is equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, including Rafale fighter jets, BrahMos missiles, and advanced air defence systems.

Recent statements by the Indian Army Chief have reinforced India's stance on the corridor's security. He emphasised that rather than being a vulnerability, the 'Chicken's Neck' is India's strongest military region, where forces from West Bengal, Sikkim, and the Northeast can be mobilised swiftly in case of any threat.

MULTI-LAYERED SECURITY MEASURES
The Indian Armed Forces have taken extensive steps to enhance security in the region:
​

• Deployment of advanced military assets: The Indian Air Force has stationed a squadron of Rafale fighter jets at Hashimara Airbase, alongside MiG aircraft.​
• BrahMos missile regiment: A regiment of BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles has been deployed in the corridor to deter potential threats.​
• Surface-to-air missile systems: India has stationed the S-400 missile system in the region to prevent any aerial incursions.​
• MRSAM and Akash air defence systems: These provide an additional layer of security, ensuring airspace protection against any infiltration.​
• Regular military drills: The Trishakti Corps frequently conducts combat exercises, including live-fire drills with T-90 tanks, to enhance operational readiness.​

STRATEGIC CAUTION

India remains vigilant against evolving regional threats. The recent remarks by Bangladesh's interim Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, along with China's increasing presence in Bangladesh through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), are being closely assessed. Security experts believe that Dhaka’s growing alignment with Beijing could pose strategic challenges for India, particularly concerning the security of the Siliguri Corridor.

In response, India has bolstered its defence posture in the region. Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan recently visited North Bengal to review operational readiness, emphasising India's commitment to safeguarding its territorial integrity. The visit included inspections of forward bases and high-level discussions on security strategies.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT, FUTURE READINESS
The importance of securing the 'Chicken's Neck' became evident during the 2017 Doklam standoff when Indian forces successfully countered Chinese attempts to construct a road in Bhutanese territory, which could have compromised the Siliguri Corridor. Learning from past encounters, India continues to enhance its defence infrastructure and preparedness.

With advanced weaponry, strategic deployments, and continuous vigilance, India has fortified the 'Chicken's Neck' against any external threats. As regional dynamics shift, India remains committed to ensuring the security and stability of this vital corridor, reinforcing its position as a formidable force in South Asia.​

The Indian government has taken comprehensive measures to protect its chicken neck from a possible joint military attack by Bangladesh and China. Though Bangladesh has denied any such military plan to attack India's chicken neck, India is convinced that Bangla-China joint military action is in the offing.

Why does India need Bangladesh to maintain her territorial integrity in North-East?

This is in case where India decides not to use BD territory unless BD permits. In case of emergency, India can just inform BD and move its force through. In even worst case scenario, the option of attaching morthen BD and merging it with India open. A big population of BD wants to merge with India. It should not be a big task for India. Assign the task to R&AW. It will happen in some time.

Do you even know that Bangladesh army has two infantry divisions (one in Rangpur and another one in Bagura) in our Northern region? Indian army cannot even handle Tamil Tiger as the latter whacked the former's tushy and here you are talking about forcefully occupying our northern region? War is not a video game. Stop daydreaming.

I don't know of any occupation of Bangladeshi land by Arakan Army. Stop listening to Indian Godi media and Gobar Arya...

If we want we can finish Arakan army in less than 72 hours. No one occupied our land in Bangla-Myanmar border. Stop watching Godi media to collect information on Bangladesh. The whole fukking nation is a big liar.

Pakistanis also say that Taliban has captured their territories. Those who have misconceptions on the military power of BD, let me tell them India had made US, Europe, China and gilf countries backed Pakistani army surrender on your soil in 2 weeks of time. Do permutations and combinations and work out how much time will Indian army will take to make BD army lay down their weapons.

In Islam there is a scope for debate but lying in the name of debating is not allowed in Islam or in any other religion.

Islam teaches how to lie. When you are in majority, crush Jimmies. When you are tiny minority, talk friendship though you have an agenda of making the region Darul Islam. It is called Al Taqiya.

Taqiya literally means "prudence," "caution," or "dissimulation" in Arabic. It refers to the practice of concealing one's faith or beliefs.

After reading your post it is clear to me that you were talking about Chanakya. According to Chanakya, you make friendship with more powerful country and suppress those countries that are weaker than you. Islam teaches equality, peace and harmony.
