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

[Bilal9]

You got offended without understanding what I say. India is in a big league and a country like BD can not be as important to as India as India is to BD. This does not mean that BD is not a progressive country or an important country but when a big country is dealing with so many important countries with multiple options a single country can not be as important for them. This is neither against BD nor any other country but a general fact. Even India was not as Important as it is today when we were 15th or 20th largest economy few years back. We built on our strength and reached where we are today.

I really believe that 4 points you mention are true and going to happen in reality.

I understand that you are positing that the 4 points you mention should become reality.

But why ??

What is your logic ?

1. electricity shortage,
2. food shortage,
3. fall in export
4. or any other calamity

Stop buying from India and see what happens with inflation and your textile export.

We have already stopped buying various agricultural commodities from India. We stopped importing onion from India, started onion imports from Egypt last week and Indian govt. immediately reduced export tariff to 20% from 40% so that Gujaratis can survive. Buyers always hold leverage, not sellers.

India banned overseas sales of onions in December last year to boost domestic supplies after patchy rains in key states led to a 20% fall in output

That is the great favor you have done to India.

Export bans of goods are never permanent. If we put the ban, that means that there was a higher demand that we could have supplied at that time. This proves whatever Ihad said.

India has ease the restriction means restrictions are still there and there were stringent restrictions earlier. That is what I say. We have more demand of import from India than we can supply. That is exactly I say. Had we had no demand, we would be giving incentive rather than putting restrictions.

Restrictions meant Gujarati and Maratha onion growers were threatening suicide, per your media. Some had carried out on the threat. :-(

When will Indians ever realize that theirs is a poor third world country suffering hunger rather than boast super power status? Just because Modi makes you feel good with untruths is not what is true.

India ranks far lower than both Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Global Hunger Index.

India

In the 2026 Global Hunger Index, India scores 24.1, placing it in the serious category. The 2026 GHI score for South Asia is 23.5, compared with 18.1 for the world. Child stunting has fallen from 50.0 percent of children under five in 2000 to 29.3 percent, a reduction of 20.7 percentage points.

Onion prices had dipped to unsustainable levels in India because of export restriction recently per your Indian media. Even before that, there was an onion glut in India. One Gujarati guy got fifteen rupees of profit from cultivating one acres of onion production. Without exporting onions, these people will die.

The onion export restriction was a bad geo-political move toward Bangladesh which back-fired on the Modi govt.

Just an effed up situation and horrible anti-people moves - as is typical for Modi Govt.
