what did bd army do in peacekeeping mission that can be considered being 'mercenary'? Are not the whole peacekeeping force a mercenary force then (to which many countries like India and pakistan countribute).
It depends on what kind of a mission is given to an army per country, the role it plays, and the nature of the mission. Otherwise, India or Pakistan would severely be criticized over its peacekeeping mission, while in fact they both are contributing to the restoration of law and order.
Its not for me to make case of bd contributing to peacekeeping forces, they same guys will celebrate when an african country makes favourable trade deals with BD in appreciation of bd peacekeepers.
True. I also think it depends on the nature of each mission. Sometimes things get ugly especially in African countries.
I am not denying Indian influence in bd but we are not god
Nobody said India is a god or a human-right champion my fellow. I never suggested such thing, and I dare not to speak on behalf of anyone except myself.
India ought not to be blame for its tremendous amount of influence over the current regime in the BD, after all. If there is someone to blame, then it should definitely be the politicians in power in the BD.
What India wants is a friendly Gov't in the BD, that's all.
USA has more influence on your country than we do in bd, and I rarely see you constantly bitching about it.
Friendly countries toward KSA do have influence on her, not just the US, but the list include your own country as well. Similarly, we do have influence over countries of which we perceive to be friendly toward us including the Republic of India. Having an influence is no crime, but the degree of it as well as the outcome is what ought to be criticized.
Having an influence over countries is a key tool in politics of the modern days.
As for the US influence over KSA, I actually never complained about it at all, for personal reasons which I wasn't keen on revealing. But since you brought it up, I think you do deserve an answer.
I do support the Obama administration, I don't agree on every single policy they take, but as I did cast my vote for him, I can tell you that I'm in good terms with it.
KSA is entitled to reject any influence which it perceives negatively, just as much as all sovereign stated do.

Bd army once considered themselves as continued version for Mughal Islamic Army of subcontinent but I think it no longer the case. They are now pure Bengali-Mushrik inspired nationalist.
You can go though the thread find out that Indian dropping crocodile tear for fallen Bd solder whereas Bangladeshis like us has no feeling. I find it very peculiar and disturbing development.
I believe either Saudi Arabia or Kuwait finance (heavy discount) Bangladesh navy's oil needs hoping that they will show up during crisis but I think you guys will be disappointed.
You guys better of divert your resources to Pakistan instead. They at-least not Ghaddar.

We never offered or gave any financial assistance to the BD armed forces, but Kuwait did.
I don't think Kuwait's intentions are based on defense basis, I think they're grateful for the BD for supporting them during the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq.

We maintain relations with almost everybody, but we never helped anyone in need to expect them to pay us back in the future.
I wouldn't trust their political wing either:
