4. Someone claiming India won't be able to sustain gureilla warfare, long drawn out wars like Afghanistan and Vietnam.
What makes you think India will not be using to flush the BD gureillas using all the tech and equipment at its disposal. If you think, India has not be able to clear the Naga and Naxal insurgency so it wont be able to clear BD gureillas as well, then you are mistaken. India has a policy to not use air power or heavy weapons against its own population even in insurgency on its own land. BDs are foreigners on a foreign land. All the assets will be in play here. And don't for a second think that its only BD that knows gureilla warfare. Our forces know *a thing or two.* Check the location of Afg and Vietnam on map and see how far they are from USA and Russia. Now check how far BD is from IND, Oh wait, its surrounded.
That said, why will BD and Ind fight?
Ah yes, what US couldn't do in 2 decades, India can. Don't believe everything you see in Bollywood.
The question was on the attrition war. That means the scenario is Indians are aggressors in Bangladesh. Try to understand the context.
The very fact that India is near to Bangladesh, as opposed to US in Afghanistan/Vietnam, is also the reason why India will not think about destabilizing the peace in the region. Especially in the North-East, where it is difficult to police. In case of a prolonged occupation of Bangladeshi territory, there will be random sporadic attacks on Indian soil as well. This is something Viet-Cong or the Talibans could never do to US because of the distance.
Will these guerilla attacks inside Bangladesh and India, demolish the Indian military? Absolutely not. But over time it will create enough damage to force the Indian occupation force to rethink the objective and withdraw from Bangladesh.
The war of attrition means when the aggressor suffers so many casualties, that the cost of holding territory is more than abandoning it. Thus, even though the aggressor was able to neutralize and demolish the defender, it is still a lost cause for the aggressor.
And that is precisely why a war between India and Bangladesh will not happen.
Some other country also had the same misconception that they will be able to harm India guerrilla warfare and inflict 1000 cut on India. They are bleeding very badly now.
We do not make movies for Bangladesh specially. We releases movies for all predominately for Indian audience. They are not made to Promote soft power. It is a different matter that it promotes soft power not only in BD but in countries like china as well.
First, the hypothetical situation is an active war zone where Bangladesh has been occupied by India like Iraq or Afghanistan. My comments were based on that scenario. Kashmir is not an active war zone, understand the difference.
Of course you don't make movies for Bangladesh specifically. But nonetheless, it is a means of projecting soft power which the Indian government has been leveraging. And that is why I want my countrymen to be aware of this soft aggression.
