'Bangladesh Should Merge With India'
A member of the International Scientific Committee of the World Centre for Studies and Researches on The Green Book, says that there is a call for Bangladesh to merge with India in order to save it.
He said that Bangladesh faces no future as it will disappear under the sea, something that the author of The Green Book, Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi has confirmed on a number of occasions. He said Bangladesh's best bet is to submit a proposal to India to say that it is willing to become a state in an Indian Union, and thus to cease to exist as an independent country.
By becoming additional eastern states within India, local democracy will continue, and thus the effect on the people is positive. Moreover, the resources of India's central government would be required to defend its territory and care for its citizens and they can relocate to any other part of the country in the case of flooding.
He pointed out that Bangladesh has no need for an armed force of its own but should instead say to India we are ready to submit to you, come and occupy us and intergate us within India. This would put an end to accusations against Bangladesh regarding terrorism, and allow India to take full responsibility for its new state.
Historically, he said, the entire region has one culture and one destiny. It was British colonialism which ripped the region apart into several failed states the borders of which produced tensions.
Bangladesh has one chance for survival and that is immediate and unconditional offering of itself for full integration into India, he said.
All politicians of Bangladesh, can submit themselves for election to the new local state after an interim period of transition to India's democracy, or immediately be removed should India wish upon reunification. The armed forces, police and other institutions can be integrated or maintain their existence during a transition phase, or the new states of Bangladesh can have certain autonomy functions at the state level.
The precedent for integration is not new, with Hong Kong, East and West Germany being but two recent examples which lessons can be learnt from that it is entirely possible for a larger state to easily absorb a smaller one with more benefits than disadvantages, he said.
