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

[Bilal9]

I think there definitely is effort on the Bangladesh side to resolve issues and mutual distrust given the current state of affairs between both countries, but one cannot say the same exists from the Indian side.

Their govt. leaning media (which is 95% of total) is intent on untruths, lies and harsh uncouth accusations (without fact-checking I might add) which is unprecedented. One only has to watch some of their virulent media hosts to see what I am talking about. Their efforts at whipping up the fervor of Bangladesh-hate is rather successful.

In short one can say (per Mahmudur Rahman, one of my well-spoken level-headed journalists and role models from Bangladesh), that the ouster of Hasina was seen as the biggest failure of Indian foreign policy in fifty or so years. This was hard for Indians (especially BJP supremos) to accept.

Instead of accepting reality and questioning BJP on why this happened and how it stands, Indian politicians in general have been intent on,
a) threats of invading Bangladesh, and also
b) threats of lopping off Bangladesh territory to create Hindu majority countries, based on flimsy pretexts of Hindu oppression in Bangladesh (playing "Hindu" card).

We know where these threats will go, which is nowhere.

What has happened has happened and Indians must accept the failure of their foreign policy. One cannot reverse this now.

I'd ask Indian politicians of major political parties to consider what is practical and feasible for the future and where mutual prosperity lies in the relation of both countries.

This is what we should focus on, instead of blind hate and baseless accusations coming from India.

Hindus are reduced to 7% from around 30%. Their temple are being burnt, their women are raped, and you say that it is false. You yourself said earlier that Now Chanting of Jai Shri Ram shall be banned in BD. Here, you are lying to mislead the people by saying that Hindus are BD citizens, and all these stories of Hindu Atrocities are fake.

Taqiya

YEs, but Takia is also used in some places. Taqiyya is also used.

Only, in their case, sadly for them, its going to be permanent Taqiya.

Coz they can keep dreaming about tiding over a weak phase till they are less vulnerable.

We literally have our foot on their collective neck.

And they know it. Hence the squirming about how peaceful and secular they truly are.
