Why some Bangladeshis support Pakistan ?

[Armstrong]

I don't however, lot of your countrymen are ambitious and would dream of unification.

Not really I can't recall ever meeting a single Pakistani that wants East & West Pakistan again - It was a mistake in '47 that got rectified in '71 !

 

[kobiraaz]

Why anti India ? Can you please give examples ?

1. Indians easily forget that Bangladesh was east pakistan once. We shared same sentiment like west pakistanis untill 1971- like two nation theory, kashmir issue, 1965 war. its in our DNA

2. India only supports Awamileague, often quite nakedly. Only 30% people support Awamileague. This indian policy antagonizes rest 70%.

3. Religious problems like Babri mosque.

4. Border shooting, Water sharing problem.

hmmm, some BD members would also endorse your statement I believe.

@CoolGuy00, do you endorse Armstrong's statements ?

Some might dream of that but not 'a lot'...just like some dream of an unified India....reality does not depend on dreams!

Thank you for the honest answers.

1. What is the current trend in sentiments ? They still still remain same or has that changed since 1971 ?

3. Everything boils down to Religion at the end of the day ! How convenient !

Yeah like Zionism. at the end of the day we are all communal. We just dont notice when it helps to achieve our own objective.

change in sentiment? not much. but pro indians are fewer in number, but stronger. As secular pro india people normally control Media like tv channels and newspapers. In Bangladesh pro pakistanis are absent from mass media.

Dude I don't think anyone remembers Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah anymore - What TNT ? What Kashmir Issue ? What '65 War ?

its True. Jinnah is forgotten, but not the Idea. Our text books ignore his role, but makes Shere Bangla A k Fazlul Haque a hero for Lahore resolution.

Because we were one for 2 and half decades.Infact even today we are one.

We celebrate Fazlul Haque, Suhrawardy & a few other Bengalis who were associated with the Pakistan Movement, as heroes as well !

Great People they were !

This is a question to all BD members on PDF...

Why some Bangladeshis support Pakistan ?

Simple: Blood is thicker than water.

 

[Dubious]

Pakistan!

Oh dear!

 

[Kaniska]

This is a question to all BD members on PDF...

Why some Bangladeshis support Pakistan ?

Is that because of religion ? Or Bangladeshis have completely pardoned Pakistani atrocities before BD formation ?

I am not sure the relevance of this question which is quite obvious..

1- There is no reason of a some/even majority not to support Pakistan due to religion and of course India is a factor in it.

2- There is a misconception in our mind that we are saviour of Bangladesh....No of course not....we assisted the liberation of BD for our interests only....It is our interest that we are looking for weakening of the Pakistan and negating the ideology of two nation theory....So of course we are happy that we have achieved...

3- BD rebel group has taken help of India because of geographical proximity and knowing well that India will support anything against Pakistan at that point of time...That means..India does not have technically any emotional love for BD and also even Bangladesh people does not have any kind of positive feeling for Indian either.....

4- Post independence BD, it was expected that once Pakistan is out of the equation, every nation will seek its self interest...And in conquest of seeking self interest BD as a nation may have realized that India is too arrogant to deal with for any kind of issues......Of course every nation has nationalistic mindset....That will create a ripple in their population that India is trying to exploit them although it is really debatable how much impact India holds in BD politics....

5- India as a big country than BD, did not contribute significantly positive growth and development to the people of BD.....Of course there is a reason for it as India was struggling itself for their own issues so much that India never ever get a chance to work with its imm neighour.

6 - Like in India too, anti Pakistan sentiment is somehow sold out nicely by political parties simillarly, same thing is in BD too...And i feel it is quite expected...

7 - Pakistan is looking for opportunities to show low to India...and again, BD people has their own grievances towards India...And GOV of Pakistan utilized this frustration of people of BD with the help of their supported political parties like Mrs Zia...

Is this the recency effect talking or am I missing something?
When AL was voted back to power with a crushing majority, was the result just reflective of "no alternative available"?
Whatever the answer is , the question remains- According to your opinion who commands 70% +of the people support (time frame being irrelevant)?
