Indian Prime Minister's Upcoming Visit

[Zabaniyah]

^^^^Bangladesh becoming a self sufficient nation would take a long time. A VERY LONG TIME - guaranteed.

I am cautiously optimistic of the future And Inshallah we will become self-sufficient and prosperous in the future.

Hasina and Khalada are not immortals. They'll die of old age anyways.

Their sons don't even have a chance to be "leaders", common lokh ra dhore petabhe

And I don't see a very bright future for the AL either. BNP however, has some promise. More political parties should come about.

We can follow India's and China's footsteps. After all, we are a small country and we are really no threat to their power status. Both in terms of military and economic. In fact, rather than scoring political points, we should support their progress in every field and aspect throughout the 21st century.

Maintaining good relations with both India and China is very important. Russia is also important.

This is Asia's time. We have had enough of the West.

To have a bright future, you need good economic growth(which you have), equitable distribution of wealth( which you have by and large) and stability political and economically for long period
And that stability cannot be guaranteed. Things can easily go wrong for a small country.
For stability you need to have good relation with all your neighbors and all other powers that matter.

The greatest threat to Bangladesh at the moment is political instability. And yes, regional support is important no matter what.

Talking of political instability being the greatest threat we already have a boiling situation inside the country. And rest of 2011 along with 2012 and 2013 will be rough politically if things keep on going the way they are.

 

[relativiti]

i don't understand why bangladeshis are so alarmed about the 80% factor??
even if its from indian companies the investment will remain in BD whatever it may be highways, bridges or other sort of structures, india won't be taking them back.

I do agree with a lot of your statements, but which neighbouring country did India have good relations with? Its the ever fearing deathly threats from the neighbours which is why India had to take drastic measures. Without threats, our politicians become too corrupt, and now sheikh hasina thinks india is her safe haven.

"arre baba jinish gulo to tomader kachei thakbe, amra noe ektu labh korlam tate khoti ki, amrao eknono developing not developed ar amader loker business oppurtunities lagbe"

Offcourse, we don't mind helping out our neighbours at any time, but not at the expense of our own countrymen. I am always for good relations with India, but not at the expense of our people. Matter of fact, most of the success from this transit will depend on India's geopolitical relations according to Zabanaya, if we want to open relations with china that is.

Well lets all see what else Hasina can give away ? Anybody has any suggestion.

I am actually shocked that Indians are going to pay for the rail road construction. This is an outrage.

I fail to see why it is an outrage. Can you please elaborate?

IMF man Manomhan Singh will mainly push for the IMF script which details lay out of logistics in BD and her ports to link the Bay with the sub-Himalayan hinterland. This so called connectivity cares two hoots for BD's security concerns, solution of her age-old issues intentionally ignored from solution by India, BD's economic losses and the sabotage to NE people's aspiration for freedom. Hasina will have to agree, but ultimately this will be rejected by the nation.

If you don't mind me asking, what does Bangladesh have to do with the aspirations of the people in NE India?

If you don't mind me asking, what does Bangladesh have to do with the aspirations of the people in NE India?

1.It would be a long subject to cover. We will have to start with our historical borders which form a self contained economic and geopolitical unit. This takes our western extent to the Rajmahal Hills. Meaning, the raging Maoist insurgency should be of interest to us.

2. Greater Assam was a historical part of greater Bengal. Economically and in logistics this sub-region depend entirely on BD. Monipur and Tripura had been a bone of contention between Bengal and Burma, but geographical reality is that they must ally or join with BD. In fact creation of E Pak/BD has left them strangulated breathing only through the narrow Siliguri Corridor.

3. Nagas are the key nation in India's NE. That is the reason India has divided this nation among various states. When Dr Phizo had visited Assam first time, Gov Akbar Hydari had received him as a foreign head of state. Vinoda Vhabe, who was appointed by Nehru to negotiate with Phizo, had been convinced that the Nagas had been in a state of Cease Fire with the British. As such he asked them to exercise their "option" under the Partition Plan to join either India or Pakistan or remain independent. Phizo had stated his preference to join Pak - which made sense.

4. Let me end this before going too much into details by giving the example of Indo-Pak. When Khalistan was raging, E Punjab, the front-line of India's def was suddenly not that. India's defenses were in serious jeopardy. Again, before Mush took over, PA's Quetta and Peshawar Corps were free to be used against the eastern front. India's Mily was heavily engaged in Kashmir bleeding and causing serious drain on the exchequer. On the other-hand, it was almost free for Pak to support the Mujahedeen who needed no logistics.

5. It would be in the greatest strategic interest of BD if the region east of the Rajmahal Hills are disturbed. BD should also support the NE freedom-fighters so that the NE does not remain BD's vulnerable rear but turns into a defensive depth.

 

[Contrarian]

People realize that if BD plays the insurgency game, India would double it back in BD right?
And if push comes to shove, India would conduct strikes in BD.

BD does not have the economy to match India's military expenditure! Nor does it have nuclear weapons to hide behind!


The kind of thinking of trying to disturb your neighbours is precisely what lands nations in trouble.Enjoy the peace gentlement, let all areas of India and BD prosper.

Just another wishful thinking by some BD posters ,

In that respect AL did a lot for Bangladesh , in refusing to let BD become a conduit for nefarious games which the ISI were trying to play some years prior , when BNP was in power. Any abettment of insurgency in our North-East and the RAW will surely take retaliatory measures .

Both sides tend to lose out on the economic and developmental front. AL realized this early and so did not go down that path. Unfortunately for certain people this is a sign of subservience and "pandering to Indian wishes " at the cost of Bangladeshi National interest .

Strategic depth anyone?

What an irony, the reason behind the inception of ULFA was their xenophobic attitude towards Bengalis in general and Bengali Muslims in particular in Assam whom they considered as Bangladeshish! You lot need to wake up and smell the coffee, try to develop your country, dont try be an irritant towards a regional power which surrounds you from almost all sides! You guys cant even afford to replicate a Pakistan, economically Pakistan was a better position than India in early 90s.
