Book Review - THE INDIA DOCTRINE (1947-2007)

All this is off topic so lets discuss the book. I have put up the foreword so lets start from there.
 
Munshiji Said that Doctors are Unfit to be Foreign Ministers, I want him to clear it out or Apologize for making such a irresponsible and deplorable comment :)
 
I understand Hasan Mahmud or Anisuzzaman are highly experienced.

One thing needs to be clear here,ministers can also be changed.If Dr.Dipu Moni can not perform well,the Prime minister has all the rights to change her.

Personally I didn't like the foreign minister as well,But it would be unfair not to give her a chance.

Yes, We have to give everyone a chance. I am not a Bangladeshi and I have no interest in this. But I felt sad hearing Munshi, a senior member saying that Dipu Moni is a doctor hence not fit to be Foreign Minister!!

Tell me Mr Munshi, How can a doctor handle the Health Ministry better??? Its a big bureaucratic setup, the Minister has to be shrewd and take the right advices from the Advisers, its not like the Minister does all the job, its Behind the scenes work that works! Please understand this.

Please don't say I am interested in Awami League, I barely know anything in Bangladesh and am Learning about it slowly but steadily. I hate to see People Like Munshiji bring themselves to such biased levels saying Doctors dont make good Foreign Ministers!

So why dont they give chance to hasinaji's dog . It is very unfair .
Forgien ministry is one of the most important ministries and is not given to a complete novice . Forgien minister has to work under tremendous presure in full glare of national and international media . They can't be briefed about everything . Forgien minister must have a wide repository of knowledge and experiance to handle hostile media and even more hostile diplomats impromptu  . In short Forgien minister requires a set of specialized skills along with good knowledge of strategic concerns . So the good doctor may or may not have those skills but why put the Bangladesh through this agony of untested forgien minister. I dont want to say that only career diplomats can make good Forgien ministers ;lots of countries have had good diplomats from Intelligentsia but making someone forgien minister without any prior exposure to functioning of government in my opinion is strict no no . Instead of making her a forgien minister they could have rather made her there chief diplomat in delhi or islamabd. which wuld have groomed her better to face challanges of her job in few years . After her sucessful stint sceptics like Mr Munshi might have been convinced.

There is no use of ji (Munshi[ji]), in addressing someone in Bangladeshi culture. Besides, that its Bangladeshi affairs on who should be minister and not and who is fit or not.

Who the hell these indians think they are to demand apology or explanation for making calls on Bangladeshi minister?

or Awami league already sold our sovereignty and hiding it from people?
 
May be she got chance because of this:
.:: Dr. Dipu Moni ::.

She seems to be very friendly with Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh.:what:

How would that good for bd bro. How india is important to bd interms of our devolopment concern? Most of our people work in Middle eastern regions. Most of aids comes from Saudi Arabia when digester strik in BD. I think our FM should be some one close to Arab nations. I wonder how would they perceive about her? Is Bangladesh ready cut off it's relaiton with Islamic nations???????
 
so what if she is friendly with MMS and Sonia Gandhi! They are leaders of Global Renown, u should be proud of her connections! Finally, many of you Bangladeshi Internet Warriors hate India, Indians dont Hate Bangladesh, so get over it plz!

Why are you using a strawman to misrepresent Mr Munshi's position . He is sceptical or Ms Moni's credentials due to lack of specific experiance rather than her bieng Doctor .

Dipumoni will toe indian line as her association and conviction already indicates. When policy dictates come from across the border it hardly matter what PM Hasina will do for people of Bangladesh. We have already heard simultaneous harping by Delhi, Hasina and Dipumoni for south Asian task force to oblige indian wishes. Change is not even a question here BUT REAL concern was and is Awami league in process of selling rest of our sovereign rights to india. Rights so many people sacrificed their life for….

so now u want relations with gulf countries! Have u been to to gulf to see ur fellow citizens work there? Guess not! Saudi arabia is stopping Bangladeshi visas as soon as the Nepalis replace them, becoz it seems according to a report published, Bangladeshis are involved in the most crimes! Please dont suck up to any country, be it India or any other so called Islamic country. The concept of Islamic nation has been dead for a long time.
