[🇧🇩] Civilian/Military Nuclear Program in Bangladesh

You lot are also signatories to a bunch of binding agreements / treaties on the matter.

Guys let's not get personal.

For one thing a lot of Indians never thought we'd better them at anything except level of poverty, malnutrition etc. much less GDP per capita, maternal health or the most damning of all, open defecation.

Yet here we are - so much for 'common perceptions'.....

I don't believe I have been. Some of your fellow BDesis are but.

Anyway, I'd be interested in getting your thoughts on a military nuclear program ?

Is the issue with Bangladesh and India as bad as Pakistan and India, or am I missing something here?

Oh no, nowhere close to, but things have soured lately after PM Hasina's ousting. She was widely perceived to be an "Indian agent" and unpopular.. it's more complicated than that, I'll leave it to the BD guys here to parse further and flesh it out for you.

Yeah nowadays it is at a pretty low ebb - especially after India-leaning Hasina was ousted from Bangladesh...

I'd say even worse than Pakistan, if you see Indian media (mostly govt. and Modi-leaning) spewing daily vitriol against Bangladesh (fact).

India is the only terrorist country in South Asia with whom all the neighbors are having bad relations.

No this is not true at all. Bangladeshi citizens just realized that they were not properly represented in the former regime. Hence the coup.

India/ Pakistan rivalry is on a whole diff level.

There is no equal to India/Pak rivalry. Iran vs Israel is just politics. Once Iran subdues an itty bitty two bit Israel, there will be no drama.

I'd reckon that's because Indians know the Pakistanis can defend themselves pretty well. But they see Bangladesh as some sort of rag tall dog they attempt to throw around?

I have to admit that this bad relations with neighbors thing is indeed the case - even Indian political analysts admit it.

The correct word would be under-estimation and attempted control militarily/politically - which was a failure, as shown by Hasina's ouster.

But after a lot of hot air and accompanied chagrin, Indian top administration (BJP) has now come to their senses and trying to smooth feathers and normalize relations.

At stake is a large amount of trade, close to $40 Billion annually, mostly to Indian advantage. India will not risk this.

Any country ratified CTBT/NPT can get themselves out of it at short notice. The binding is not permanent.
