Well, I think it's the general Bangladeshi people reaction of Hasina going to India and trying to buy their things which have caused her to buy Chinese equipment to keep a good image of herself in the people and not to portray herself in front of the people as a puppet to Indians.

On these few reports I have made my assumption.

The details of the defence agreement are not known but according to news reports from Dhaka, India wanted a 25-year long agreement that the Hasina government was not prepared to sign. Ranganathan however denied this, saying such agreements are generally signed for a five-year period and are reviewed by both sides for further extension if need be. Apart from the framework MoU on defence, the other agreement will be sourcing defence suppliers from India.

This means Delhi will begin supplying equipment to Bangladesh. Defence research and development will also be one part of the component. But those opposed to the Awami League are uncomfortable with a defence agreement. "There is deep resentment about the possibility of a defence pact, because it does not make sense for Bangladesh. For a smaller neighbour, the thought that there will be a Big Brother looking over your shoulder at all times isn't welcome," Fazal Kamal, a prominent Bangladeshi analyst said.

Bangladesh sources much of its military hardware from China – something India is wary off. Its recent purchase of two Chinese submarines raised hackles in Delhi with some Indian defence analysts even asking why Bangladesh needed submarines at all.

Bangladesh military officials are not keen on purchasing defence hardware from India, believing that India’s own reliance on military imports suggests it has few quality products of its own to offer.

They point to the poor quality of equipment India supplied to Nepal and Myanmar, while admiring Chinese equipment for being cheap and easy to use.

But India is now willing to offer a US$500 million line of credit to Bangladesh for the purchase of military hardware. Bangladesh might welcome that and could use the funds for purchasing fast patrol craft for its coastguards and radar for its air defence.

Hasina is unwilling to push the military in this regard. “On issues of defence, she would like to go by the military’s advice,” said one of Hasina’s top advisers who did not want to be identified.

Bangladesh has a history of military coups, beginning with the assassination of Hasina’s father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of her family in 1975. Civil-military relations have matured in recent years but Hasina still does not like to cross the line and prefers to go by the military’s advice on defence issues.
