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

[Krishna with Flute]

Thanks brother. Hindu or Muslim, it is all incumbent upon us to communicate and get the real story.

In Bangladeshi temples, saffron dhwajas will fly, bells and shankha will sound. Church bells will ring.

In mosques, people will go to Namaaz. Buddhists will prostrate to Buddha.

We can all live in peace and prosper with being brothers and sisters.

Let peace prevail.

A very good wish and I wish everyone thinks like this. However, the realities and history of Islam and Muslims are different. Abrahamic religions are not religions in reality but they are political ideologies. They have inherent hater towards other religions and that is why expecting anything fair or friendly from it is like expecting sun to rise from West.

Misri also clarified that, contrary to media reports, the Professor Muhammad Yunus-led interim government did not raise issues regarding reviewing any agreements with India.

Well I believe at this time, more communication with top level Indian political functionaries, such as Shashi Tharoor (who is more sane and educated in their parliament) - is the "mature" thing to do, instead of totally upsetting the apple cart for Indo-Bangla relations.

Bangladesh needs to do the level best to truncate activities of "Bazaar-Garam" activists like Shuvendu Adhikari, who I hear is not in the BJP leadership's good books any longer.



De-escalating the mudslinging language war at this time is of utmost importance.

At the same time- Bangladesh needs to diversify its import sources to include Pakistan, especially for agri imports.

Religion in Arabia and the subcontinent are not the same thing.

In Bangladesh majority of Muslim population are Sufi people, whose relations with their Hindu brothers and sisters have been harmonious historically. There have been occasional flareups - but they were at the perpetration of 'faida-lootnewallahs'.

If you have never visited Bangladesh, you need to visit sometime to see for yourself, instead of propaganda.

Misri’s visit to help advance Dhaka-Delhi relationships
Says Indian MEA

India yesterday said Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri's recent visit to Dhaka would help sustain and advance ties between the two countries.

Asked at the weekly media briefing to comment on Misri's talks with Bangladesh's interim government, Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said, "It is our understanding that the foreign secretary's visit will help in sustaining the bilateral engagement between India and Bangladesh to address concerns as well as advance the substantive issues in the relationship."

Jaiswal said the readout issued by the MEA on Misri's statement to the media in Dhaka, which emphasised continuing the mutually beneficial cooperation between India and Bangladesh. The MEA also emphasised India's desire to work closely with the interim government and relayed New Delhi's concerns, including those related to the safety and welfare of minorities.

Jaiswal said that while in Dhaka, Misri took up the issue of what India said were attacks on minorities in Bangladesh with the leaders of that country and stressed that it was in Bangladesh's own interest to protect the minorities.

Highlighting the impact of the visit, Jaiswal said, a day after Misri's Dhaka visit, Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh Shafiqul Alam issued a statement mentioning that 88 incidents of attacks on minorities had taken place and 70 people had been arrested in connection with them.

The MEA spokesman said, "It is our expectation from the Bangladesh government that it will do the needful [to protect minorities]."

Asked about Indian newspapers' reports that the foreign secretary conveyed to a parliamentary standing committee on December 11 that New Delhi does not endorse ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina's comments while staying in India, Jaiswal said, "It is not our practice to comment on speculative and selective reports about privileged matters."

He said the parliamentary standing committee on the Ministry of External Affairs is a privileged forum.

Asked about the reported suggestion by some members of the parliamentary standing committee about the possibility of a visit to Bangladesh by an Indian political delegation, Jaiswal said, "I do not want to comment on the parliamentary committee's proceedings."

Replying to a query on media reports about Bangladesh's alleged deployment of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones along the border with India, Jaiswal said, "We have seen the reports which came out recently, but we are unable to confirm their authenticity."​

Gono Odhikar Parishad President Nurul Haque Nur on Friday said that India is responsible for the tensed relation between India-Bangladesh as India cannot use this interim government like Awami League.

“India is continuing its aggression and dominance over Bangladesh to destabilize the country’s Interim Government. India is responsible for the tensed relations between India-Bangladesh as India cannot use the incumbent Interim Government like Awami League,” he said a national youth rally in front of the Jatiya Press Club (JPC) in Dhaka on Friday.

Bangladesh Jubo Odhikar Parishad organized the rally protesting Indian aggression and domination. After holding rally, a procession was started in front of Jatiya Press Club and ended at Bijoynagar.

About India’s conspiracies to destabilize Bangladesh, Nurul Haque Nur said the Indian media and political society are trying to prove that communal riots are going on in Bangladesh in a planned manner.

He urged the international media including Indian media to come to Bangladesh and investigate all the allegations regarding communal riot and then present the actual facts.

“No communal attack is taking place in Bangladesh,” he said, adding that some isolated incidents happened due to political reasons.

Talking about India’s domination, he said: “If India shows reluctance to share waters of 54 common rivers between the two countries and does not give a fair share of water of the Teesta River, then Bangladesh should deal agreement with China to ensure its legitimate share.”

Nur said all agreements between Bangladesh-India should be made public.

Criticizing the killing of the Border Security Force (BSF), he said the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) should give befitting reply to BSF’s encounter on the border.

With Bangladesh Jubo Odhikar Parishad president Manjur Morshed Mamun in the chair the rally was addressed among others by Gono Odhikar Parishad General Secretary Rashed Khan, vice president Rahul Islam and senior leaders Abu Hanif and Advocate Sarkar Nur Ershad Siddiqui.​

Environment, forest and climate change adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan has underscored the importance of clearing the political clouds that once overshadowed Bangladesh-India relations, emphasising the need for fostering a harmonious partnership between the two nations.

“The political clouds that once overshadowed our relations with India had to be cleared in the interest of both nations,” she said while speaking at an awareness and driver retraining programme on noise pollution control in the capital on Friday.

While acknowledging the historical significance of Bangladesh’s recent mass uprising, Rizwana stressed the importance of balancing this legacy with a forward-looking approach to bilateral relations.

“We cannot deny the impact of the recent movement in our nation while building friendly ties with India,” she added.

Noise Pollution and Environmental Initiatives

Rizwana announced that the noise pollution control act will soon be published as a gazette, reinforcing legal measures to combat noise pollution and protect public health.

“Efforts are underway to finalise the necessary steps, and the act will be published shortly,” she said.

Political Reforms

Rizwana also questioned the lack of progress in political reforms, urging political parties to take accountability for decades of stagnation.​

I am sorry - but this Noor guy is maybe not so relevant. Who is he to comment on anything? I remember him going to Hasina, asking for her support and tutelage. Beganee shadi mei Abdullah diwana.
