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

[Bilal9]

Before 'India out' campaign we need to start 'Hasina out' campaign. Because if Hasina remains in power, she will subserve Indian interest by hook or by crook. So, let's kick Hasina out from Gonobhaban.

Economic Boycott of Indian products have unfortunately become necessary (nay crucial) because the current Indian Central govt. is using the deficit of trade and our dependence on Indian exports as leverage to strong arm Bangladesh and subjugate Bangladesh to her short and long term interests, boycott is a must to make the Indian central govt. understand - that we mean business (literally) and we need to resolve long-term irritants in the external affairs relationship which Indian govt. seems to ignore.

Obviously this has nothing to do with long term relations with the everyday citizens of India. You don't choose who your neighbors are.

But yes - I understand your points and arguments on Hasina as well - who also needs to go because of the reasons you mentioned. She is just buying time at this point, her days may be numbered.

If we can oust Hasina from the power, the new Govt. will definitely restrict Indian export to Bangladesh. We cannot force Indian products out from Bangladesh as long as Hasina remains in power. Hasina will implement her India first policy because she is subservient to India.

I am afraid you are correct on this.
