So your stance of "Bangladesh's future should not be solely dependent on India" starts by denying our role in 1971 war and saying it was Nehrus master plan from the beginning?
Believe me if we wanted we could have annexed you like we did Hyderabad/Junagadh, west Pakistan couldn't have done anything but we didn't as we respected what the people wanted and what was decided on partition.
No one here is bad mouthing your dear Pakistan here, people are just disgusted to see someone stoop so low as to deny actual history. Tell me if India has done evil deeds and Pakistan also, why go for better relations only with Pakistan here and bash India in every opportunity? Unless you believe Pakistan didn't do anything in 1971 and it was all Indias fault. You'll even see some Pakistanis accepting they were at fault.
If being in the us doesn't open your mind on how good relations with neighbors helps then God help you.
You know what since you are so short of time don't reply, i know I'm gonna hear the same scripted response.
Well you're lucky that its a Sunday and I have some time to respond. No need for you to run away.
Why do India and Indians bring in 1971 at every opportunity? We know why India (Nehru) started this saajish in 1947, and we all know how I've responded with proof (so have others here, especially our
@Atlas bhai) in every thread and discussion where we've discussed this. So let's not go into that. 1971 was fifty years ago.
It is interesting that Indians always want to talk about their contribution and what THEY GAVE IN 1971 but hardly want to talk about what they've GAINED BECAUSE of 1971. In typical Indian fashion, they will give $1 but trumpet it like they gave a Million dollars.
The focus on 1971 propaganda is because it has been 100% WIN for India and 100% LOSS for us since 1971, starting with the looting at the end of 1971 (the subject of this thread, which
@Atlas bhai had the balls to start (my salute to him).
India dominated trade in this country in exploitative fashion since 1971 - 100%. Fifty years of this exploitation is enough of a price that has been paid (on convenient excuses of proximity by some) I am frankly sick and tired of this one-sided relationship, which frankly, needs to end.
Why Bangladeshi AL cabinet does not plan its purchases in annual plans and why everything has to be always hurriedly purchased from India, no one other than India-slaves in AL Cabinet know.
But do the Indians plan these for us? You bet they do!
Always last minute emergency purchase from India for this and that. $100 Million here, $80 Million there, always in a hurry and always last minute purchase from India (right across the border they are - you see!).
Pakistan hardly exploited us before 1971, it has been mostly propaganda by AL since 1971. Pakistani industrialists like Adamjee lost tens of millions of dollars in life savings when they had to leave Bangladesh, not to say about all the non-Bengali folks who had to sell everything at pennies for the dollar and leave hurriedly? Where is our sympathy for them. Thousands and thousands of AL sycophants are still living in these abandoned properties in Dhaka - left by West Pakistani folks, given to them by the AL govt. after 1971. Where is the insaniyaat in that, or justice?
All the projects Pakistan invested in - in the East, has always been understated intentionally by AL propaganda. Large Capital projects were undertaken by govt. in East Pakistan prior to 1971, KSY, Adamjee, Kaptai Hydropower, CTG port the list goes on. Only AL sycophants will say that we don't owe anything to Pakistan. Indian Army made sure they lifted and looted amlost everything that wasn't bolted down. Those invested machinery were all looted clean by Indian Army.
True - ethnic discrimination may have existed between different people in East Pakistan, but it is no larger than what existed in India prior to 1971. Even today, my South Indian friends tell me how Southerners are made fun of my North Indian cow-belters. There was a lot less of it in East Pakistan.
If Pakistanis hated Bengalis, they would not have massively invested in East Pakistan, they could have banned Bangla movies but did not, they even wrote the name of PIA in Bangla, on govt. buildings in Dhaka etc.
So - long story short, a lot of anti-Pakistan propaganda by vested quarters in India and Bangladesh has been floated since 1971, most of it was intentionally deliberate to keep Bangladesh a spiritual vassal of India to be conveniently milked, some of it is indeed hogwash. India has always made sure Bangladesh never got friendly toward Pakistan, but that is now coming to an end.
I want to say however - that I will never discount the sacrifices and lives of people who fought on either side during 1971, I don't take their selfless sacrifices lightly and will never, ever dishonor them. I also do not take personal losses of folks in 1971 lightly. War is hell - things happen during wars, people take sides, misery and mayhem rages. Hearts are broken.
But we are not focusing on that here and will not let Indian politicians (especially faida uthanewalla Hindutvas) and their Bangladesh agents take advantage of 1971, which most of them had no part in. They sat in Mujibnagar and took no part in the war except participate in Indian propaganda.
Since 1971 Indian govt. in Bangladesh today has been the numero uno exploiter and perpetrator of criminal one-sided unreliable trade exploitation.
That needs to stop, will stop and we in Bangladesh will diversify our sources of imports to include Pakistan. That is if they are willing. That is the least in Bangladesh we can do.
Then this clown plays the "victim" card when we give him the taste of his own medicine.
And now he is crying in "Chill Bangladesh" thread using anti-Indian emotion.
