It must have been a hell of a madarsa from where Kallu miah has graduated... just incredible belief system created through years of brain washing /indoctrination...
Islamophobia Exhibit n: Indian Hindu nationalist's think that all Muslims have "Madrasa logic", meaning Muslims cannot think and hence are brain-washed morons.
I hope to see better relations between Bangladesh and India too, but it will not happen for the foreseeable future. Mainly because, just like Han nationalism in China which will replace the unifying meme at the slow departure of communism, India's majority population have only one thing in common which is Hindu religion. So just like Han nationalism there is Hindu nationalism which is being used to unify the nation and drive out and counter competing meme's like Islam, Christianity, Maoism, communism etc. There are some extreme hardcore among the nationalist that want to take back Bangladesh and Pakistan and reconvert the population back to Hindu, since they consider that Muslims have invaded and stolen their people and land.
Now, as I said many times in this forum, I do support good relations and opening up business, roads, transit etc., which will help both Bangladesh and India. But while we do this, we will keep fighting about fair share of water in our common rivers and many other issues like that. For security, we will not trust India for the foreseeable future, because of not our own hatred for Hindu India, which is one of their propaganda line, but because of their hatred for Islam and Muslims, coupled with the fact that they are a much bigger state and love to throw their weight around, whenever they get the opportunity, which is natural with all large and powerful (relatively speaking) states.
ASEAN 10, Japan, South Korea (eventually North as well) and Bangladesh, hopefully will unite out of the spirit that together we can solve our mutual problems and come to each others side, when we need help. After all what is humanity for if we do not help each other. But talking about community or Union or definitive steps are of course pre-mature. Ground work has to be done, decades will go by, people will learn and educate themselves, open their eyes. More democracies will take root in this region, and then people themselves will take the right decision about their future. I am just making some theoretical projections, which may or may not become reality.
As for Vietnam, and many other states in the group/community, Buddhism is an excellent meme to seek common ground on. So I support promotion of Buddhism in this region, as when atheist communism dies down, it leaves a vacuum, which has to be filled some how.
kalu_miah, I have a problem want to ask you.
It is a problem in the union of small countries.
How will we address, if one member was bribed by a big external countries, aims to serve the interests of the big country, instead of the interests of the union?
Of course, this is very delicate problem, and they will never admit it publicly..
For example recently: ASEAN-Cambodia-China in the East Sea (south china sea) disputes ...
Do you have any clue why ASEAN is formed in the first place? And what make you think that the rest of our members will sacrify our peace and development just to help you guys to pursue your own selfish goals and greeds? Come on, do us and yourself a favour i.e. do your own dirty laundry alone and stop implicating us all together before we decided to kick the trouble marker/s out of our group.
ASEAN is too small and not powerful enough for Vietnam and Philippines. They should join NATO where they'll feel more comfortable and protected.

We never expected ASEAN military alliance like as NATO. But the controversy in the south china sea in recent times should be discussed in official meetings of the ASEAN summit, to be able to find solutions resolve disputes peacefully, to avoid conflict....
