The treaty is not worth the paper its written on. BAL signed it and perhaps they will fight for you but judging by history they are not so good at that.
Isn't BAL in power, and likely to remain in power for the foreseeable future? BAL members fought for, and with India in the past and successfully delivered a historic victory, (which India takes most of the credit for).
Unless the treaty is revoked by Bangladesh, or allowed to expire in
2022 it remains in force. If India demands Bangladesh participation in a war, Bangladesh can violate the treaty, and degrade relations with India.
Violation of the treaty in a war would be seen by India as a hostile act. It is highly improbable that Bangladesh under a BAL government would take such a step.
As you get you butt spanked raw by the chinese you can invoke whatever you want. BD also has a defense pact with China.
Could you clarify what exactly are terms of Banglades's
defense treaty ( if any) with China?
So far there is no evidence of any such treaty otherwise the Indian media would be commenting on it. However, do provide a link.
We will do precisely nothing. No BD politician has the power to order BD millitary to fight on behalf of all things hindutva numbskulls.
Unrealistic, given the fact that a treaty exists and the BD military is an extremely professional and disciplined force.
Bangladesh forces regularly serve with UN forces globally on agreements that the political leadership of their country have signed. As armed forces of a secular democratic nation which abides by all international treaties and obligations there is no reason to assume that any so called "religious " factor will be an impediment. If the past record is an indication the BD armed forces and their allies have jointly and successfully fought a war together.
Absolutely nothing whatsoever would happen. I am however happy to know that India is so weak in face of the duel chinese pakistani threat that their survival rests on Bangladesh. You made my day, i guess hindus can only be what they are.
India is not weak. It is a significant conventional, and nuclear power. A very likely two front war is of grave concern to India.
In substance, the military support required from Bangladesh by India would be symbolic and moral.
Unlike the last war, this time, the actual contribution of the BD armed forces in fighting India's enemy would be minimal.
However, like the last war it would be a tremendous boost to Indian morale to show the world that India and Bangladesh are once again fighting a common enemy.
