[🇧🇩] Indo-Bangla Relation: India's Regional Ambition, Geopolitical Reality, and Strategic Options For Bangladesh

[Bilal9]

Haight, Ashbury waali battein kar raha banda.

Admit it, the four of you are just here to bad mouth Bangladesh and Bangladeshis. This is the Hindutva MO. No other narrative is allowable.

Funny enough - your major media houses are starting to realize BJP's folly and asking them to re-cast relationships with neighbors.

I only speak for myself, views may occasionally converge and diverge with anyone. Certainly not here to bad mouth anyone.. nice small community to discuss things, all good fun. Not like you lot don't discuss Indian issues either, is it ?

Sorry for the butthurt lol

Billu why you deleted my Malibu cocaine post?

All those videos you have were fact-checked, found to be unrelated or from the past and generally fraudulent.

I hope the BJP and VHP give up these attempts of false propaganda and trying to create unrest in Bangladesh - even Bangladeshi Sanatanis are getting disgusted and asking Indian BJP and VHP to stop these embarrassing and childish propaganda attempts with Godi Media.

If you don't like Azaan in the open (too noisy) - then make legislation to stop it if you can. There are cellphone Azaan apps nowadays which should be available to every Muslim in India.

These are celebrations on Dhaka streets in the last two years. "C" grade Arabs enjoyed these Hindu festivals every year.

These are Muslim boys/girls who had their Arangetram festival earlier, I guess they are "C" grade Arabs as well. I had many friends whose daughters graduated Arangetram from Dhaka Bharata Natyam schools. Just go easy on the "Bangladeshis are all Talibani and Jihadi" trope. This is insulting calling people slurs and names. Have some shame. And most Bangladeshi people have a nickname which is not Arabic. Like "Aurgho", "Shanto", "Nalini", "Priya", "Ishika", "Luvonee" (short for Lavanya).

I agree with you on stopping Azan. Secondly, what you have cited regarding the Hindu festival celebration is those few things which has managed to survive which radicals want to crush. Had that been true, Hindus would not have reduced to less than 4th in 5 decades. Nobody can cite isolated incidents or pictures to defy the data. The truth revealed by data is the authentic truth. Last time, Hindus faced issues in Durga Pooja celebration as well.

Yeah, if the Mughals wanted to convert they could have done it in their 1000 years rule over India. Your few dozens brave hearts could have escaped but not the millions of cowards. The majority of Indians were cowards......always subjected to rules of foreign powers.

Had Mughals 1000yers of rule? Why don't you read history before commenting here?

If "radicals" (guessing "Mullahs" in your parlance) were truly active, there would not have been Hindus left in Bangladesh.

But they are surviving and thriving. 37% of all govt. jobs in Bangladesh are held by Hindus (because of quota). Do you see any protests in Bangladesh because of it?? Hindus right now are around 9% of the Bangladesh population. The jobs they get are disproportionate to the Hindu proportion of the population. Even Hindus themselves protested against these quotas.

Hindus leave Bangladesh for India (and other countries) for many varied reasons. Oppression is the least of it. There are opportunities available in India which are simply not available in Bangladesh - because of India's size and business scope. Ditto for EU, US, UK.

I personally know high class educated Hindu friends of mine whose parents left Bangladesh before and after 1971 and became fabulously wealthy in India through utilizing trade and business opportunities between both countries (export/import) , some settled in Delhi, some in Mumbai and Kolkata. People do what is best for their future and that of their families.

What he's saying was that the Mughal emperors were in large portion of the totality, very liberal. They treated their Hindu subject fairly and with respect.

Akbar especially came up with his own religion, Deen-e-Elahi (which mixed major portion of Hinduism), and antagonized many of his Muslim courtiers just to please his Hindu subjects.

Many of the Mughal Emperors ended up marrying Hindu Rajput princesses and allowed their Rajput wives to carry out Hindu religious traditions in the temples that were built for that purpose. We have all seen Jodha-bai the movie but she was Akbar's principal consort. Visiting her tomb in Agra is definitely on my bucket-list (shown below).

The entire Mughal bloodline (at least a portion of it) was Hindu after a certain point when they started taking Rajput wives. I don't know why there is such animosity against Mughals in today's India. People are not informed anymore, Indians don't read their own history. Mughals had enough Hindu blood.

Hindi (Sanskrit mixed with Urdu) was I believe created during that time period to ease communication with non-Muslim courtiers and subjects, but I could be wrong.

Most Mughal emperors were very good to their non-Muslim subjects - and we all know Aurangzeb was not a saint in that dept. but haathoh ki panch ungli ek nahi hota.
