The history of proxy warfare between India and Pakistan goes back to the Kashmir invasion and it will remain that way. We are a small state, if we don't keep them in check, it would mean giving in to their hegemonic control that they so crave to have.
Well, how often do you see Bangladeshis participating in Kashmir threads? Almost never.
But what we can say is that if you guys really wanted Kashmir so badly, you should have just obliterated New Delhi when you had the chance. Your air force had the edge over them for starters.
*sigh* I do feel sorry for those beautiful B-57 bombers. Just rusted away by not realizing their full potential to destroy and terrorize.
Mass civilian casualties are inconsequential. They'll just make more love out of one's sorrows and increase the population ten-fold. Just like Israel's bombing of Lebanon and Saddam's campaign against the Kurds. Only if Saddam didn't foolishly invade Kuwait, nobody would have bothered with the Kurds.
But you, for some mysterious reasons didn't bomb them where it'd hurt them. Perhaps even send them into oblivion.
The point being is to cut the head of the snake before it grows larger. When one takes out the control, everything will naturally fall apart in a state of being out of control. It's these kind of things that I never understood about you guys.
Back in the day, Dhaka University was prestigious. Something over which Indians can never compare themselves to in the past. And now look at them. And look at Dhaka University, ruled by a bunch of crazies out to smash and burn (i.e. present Bangladeshi-style student politics).
What happened was that the Indians had the upper hand in information warfare. It was that aspect that convinced them to intervene and break Pakistan into two.
That implies that the WP leaders hardly took the security of EP seriously, despite the proxy war in NE India. A view of extreme indifference and apathy toward Bengalis in general.
While Sri Lanka and Pakistan has stood against the Indian desire for control of S.Asia, it has become vital for Bangladesh as a major nation in S.Asia to do the same. If they decide to do that Pakistanis even today are more likely to stand with you than with an Indian.
Our nuclear deterrent has reduced India's chances of becoming the hegemonic Hindutva empire it desires to become. Pakistan and China are like a 'geographic lock' around India's neck, because it can expand no longer without coming into conflict with either of these states, it cannot fight them either, so it feels frustrated as its elite beats a horse that cant run no longer without getting speared into.
Its your opportunity to turn Bangladesh into a free nation by sweeping it off Indian influence. Traitors who are more patriotic to India than your nation need to be weeded out and mercilessly butchered so you can have a new beginning, for your own sake not ours or anyone else's.
As far as Pakistanis are concerned, we believe that Bangladesh being an Islamic nation is still closer to us than India and it always will be. If we work out our differences - there are three Muslim states that encircle India, we can trap the elephant into a hole, it can't get out of !
Well, butchering them would make them martyrs, would it not? I'd rather give them the pleasure of utter humiliation.
Anyhow, politics is only part of the problem. The environment of trust in pretty much every aspect of Bangladeshi society had deteriorated over the decades. And when there's mistrust, there's volatility.
I recall a son of a wealthy businessman here that Bangladeshi business people were voting for parties so that they can make more money, not how to empower Bangladeshi society as a whole. Money, money money, it's all they care about without any principle, or thought. Let alone ideas.
One can even buy space superiority fighters, but when there's mistrust among oneself, then how can one move the nation forward? And counter Indian bullying?
Islamic nation, secular, whatever, what matters to me in my view is sustainability. And from what most Bangladeshis can see, the AL is not making it more sustainable. The Sheikh family are dreaming about living the days of the Mujib-era. Control over media, family politics (it never goes anywhere), violent suppression of political opponents and failed socialist ideals are some of their characteristics.
I mean, if the Sheikhs are so confident about their party winning the election, why are they so frightened of a non-party caretaker government to hold elections in the first place? Bangladesh is still a young democracy, and that'll take a lot of time to mature. The CTG model is one of the means to achieve that.
How does India fit in? Most of their tactics are subversive. Quietly backing the ruling Awami League. The US ambassador's recent visit to New Delhi provided an interesting insight into that one. Frankly, I don't understand what their problem with Bangladesh is.
Jamaat e Islami is too small of a party to make any major impact in the politics of Bangladesh. So let alone the world.
One might say, that it was to root out NE rebels hiding in Bangladesh, but does that justify going this far? Yet, there's still outbreaks of violence in NE India. Not to mention that India shares the largest border with Bangladesh, and not Pakistan or China. A very critical factor that many forget. I mean, if an advanced nation like the United States couldn't fully guard the Mexican border, then how can countries like India and Bangladesh? It's truly fail logic. And one that isn't feasible. That is, India and Bangladesh patrolling every aspect of the border regions against Indian rebels. And frankly, the problems in NE India are none other than from NE Indians. And not from Bangladeshis, Pakistanis or Chinese.
But given that Hasina thinks she can fool the Bangladeshi general public with her poorly constructed lies, her and her pathetic party's end is inevitable. It's only a matter of time.
We are not interested in militarily countering India after those
dalals are rooted out. However, should they threaten us in anyway thereafter, we shall see. There'd go India's image as a hero against evil China and her ilks
