@Bilal9 is a sensible bloke. I am sure he has his own perspective from which he sees and understands. After all, its his opinion. And according to a famous Islamic scholar, you should not accept an opinion until and unless you are convinced that it is correct. Hence, it is not my job to vouch whether what he says is accurate.
My personal opinion, however, would be to give it time and see where the main source of this "terrorism" is. July was just half a year back. Its still fresh in the minds of Bangladeshi people. Law enforcers are hunting down these dogs and are succeeding. In due time, more light would be brought into this issue. It could be India or Daesh or just our local JMB factions, who knows. Unless I have a clearer picture, I am going to save my judgement.
Thanks for your neutral opinion as well @bd_4_ever.
My comments were well-considered, and I did weigh them carefully before making a polite reference to Indian involvement in this whole affair. The investigation did reveal beyond reasonable doubt that the weapons used in this sordid attack were customized in a factory in Bihar and was shipped and smuggled to Bangladesh.
Naive posters (on both sides of our border) keep insisting that it is in India's best interest to see a prosperous Bangladesh.
I see increasing evidence in not believing in this.
I don't say this because of blind hate against India or God forbid - Indians themselves. We belonged to the same country before 1947.
I say this because Indian statecraft of the current day (borrowing from Chanakyan philosophy) supports weakening your neighbors to save your own state and make it stronger. It is natural to subscribe to within the current Indian political sphere - especially considering the prevailing hyper-nationalist atmosphere in Indian politics.
Communalism against non-Hindu entities and countries also plays a rather significant part combined with hyper-nationalist thinking. The Narendra Modi effect in Indian Realpolitik has meant that mistreating weaker and smaller neighbor countries plays nicely into populist and hyper-nationalist sentiments and discourse currently prevailing in India. Whoever can play that whole game - is popular (Sushma Swaraj).
All this makes it easy to plan and launch covert action of any type to weaken neighbor countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan. These covert actions do not face any scrutiny. These programs have gotten stronger as the Indian economy has gotten stronger and more prosperous.
The neighbor countries are essentially left to fend themselves by rapidly arming themselves and spending precious resources countering rather inexpensive non-intense pseudo-proxy wars (like the Holey Artisan attack or the Pilkhana massacre) against a much larger and well-trained/equipped India, when they really should be concentrating to feed and house their populace. Yet they aren't doing half badly (especially Bangladesh) - as I've shown in other threads.
All we can wish for at this time is for this NaMo hyper-Nationalism in India to recede so the effect on Bangladesh stops, but things do not look hopeful for the near future.
