[@dungavhai3319]

As a Bangladeshi, I saw many leftist Indians also supporting Bangladesh’s radicals, while India itself harbors the largest radical breeding ground-Deobandh Madrasa. Soon, these extremists could dominate India too. We, the seculars of South Asia, must unite to curb their growing influence and protect our region from radicalism

[@rashidaakter1357]

Maybe because Bangladesh is the 4th remittance donar country of India and India does not want to lose the duck that laid the golden egg.

[@ahnafhussein1565]

Sheikh Mujib was the hero of Bangladesh's independence struggle, this is an eternal truth! But after independence, his incompetence in running the state, he formed a party guard and banned all the political parties in the country, established a one-party rule under his leadership, kept the government newspaper and closed all the other newspapers! In response to which he was killed! Later, even though BNP, Jamaat, and Ershad came to power, they did not exaggerate about Sheikh Mujib, but Sheikh Hasina came to power and established all the corruption and dictatorship by keeping Mujib's name in front, which this time the student population did not accept! The fugitive Hasina had announced that she would come and give a speech on Facebook Live last night, but the student population had announced that if Hasina gave a speech, Mujib's house would be demolished! Later, Hasina gave a speech, saying that the people had also broken into houses.

[@mgh-y6l]

you have stated all facts crystal clear for all of our indian friends large part of who are usually accustomed to one sided view point of awami league .

[@Solaafg]

He was only one of the elements of the struggle for independent. He never demanded independence but was negotiating to be the PM of Pakistan. So can’t give him all the credit for the independence struggle. I agree to the rest though.

[@raghunandan9290]

Yeah everyone is corrupt but your Yunus Govt who swindles 500 vrroe rupees . Don't think we are fools

[@Solaafg]

He’s not comparable to Gandi. He’s just one of the founders. Awami league will be banned in Bangladesh soon Bcoz that’s a fascist party who serves Indian interest instead of Bangladesh.

No its the same. All gandhi did was serve the interests of islamists.

[@Solaafg]

@ yes but he had the most prominent role, uniting figure and the fact that he decided to not join the party and hold power, made him greater than all. If Mujib would let the government of the day continue and became the father of the nation rejecting power, then he would also have that respect. Mujib failed to become Gandhi 😔

[@Solaafg]

@ nope. He United india and rejected power. Mujib divided people and grabbed power harder like a dictator. Mujib failed to be Gandhi

[@orunabho]

From local cultural nationalism, to pan islamic nationalism - that is the story of East Pakistan in short. Don't worry, it will also happen in India - starting in another 50 years. Demography is dengerous

[@agonnoga6100]

I fail to understand when pro Pakistani razakars are running amok in the streets of Bangladesh why Awami League party members and Bangladeshi nationalists are hiding inside their homes cowering in fear? Why the police, military and paramilitary are on the side of these razakars who are burning and demolishing every symbol of Bangladesh independence? If India acts tough, these stranded Pakistanis will run for their lives. What is 56 inch waiting for? If these razakars manage to hold on to power then forget a hostile neighbor in the east, entire NE and red corridor will burn. China too is going to get active in NE and North Bengal.

[@bilalbaig8586]

India had better not try anything. These are Bangladesh's internal matters.

[@SyedNabeel-pl3hq]

Here Munafiq doesn't mean a Bad Muslim, here this term is used for hypocrite.

[@Solaafg]

Mujib never ask for independence. He was contesting elections and won and was negotiating till the last day to be the PM of Pakistan. Then he volunteered to get arrested when operation searchlight was about to begin, still without leaving any message to declare independence. So making him the hero or independence is inaccurate

[@TheDigitalGuru430]

I have heard underneath that house, there was centuries old Shiva temple... so they destroyed it....

[@Bangladeshi0071]

A 500 year old shiv temple was found under mujib's house. Thus it was demolished. A temple will be built here.😂😂

[@safi164]

You are wrong even in your first statement... Shiekh Mujeeb was founder of no new party.. Awami League has its origins as the Sahurwardi faction of Pakistan Muslim League. It was originally known as Awami Muslim League.. Sahurwardi later briefly the Prime Minister of Pakistan the right hand man of Jinnah was populist and left leaning.. So whatever you are talking is complete bullshit and fake history.... loool

Tragedy of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and its shaky economy. Will the nation survive in the near future ?

@@sayeed242 INR has "tanked" only 3.5% against the USD over the past 1 year (from 84 to 87). On the other hand, Taka has tanked 13% (108 to 122). Even at a 7% growth rate, India adds one whole Bangladesh-sized economy to its GDP every year. Our machines are well-oiled. In fact, without us, Bangladesh would not have existed. Remember the words of Yahya Khan - "Kill 5 million and the rest will eat out of our hand". That was your "aukat" in the eyes of White Punjabis.

[@casual_artist14]

We aren't bound by any promise to do good for anyone, you have to do it yourself. India got rid of Pakistan from its eastern front which happened to be a common goal for Bangladeshi people at that time. But God forbid if India starts seeing you from the same lens as Pakistan you'd be begging for flour like them as well. At least thank God India considers present Bangladesh just like an irritant not a major enemy.

[@pradipray1251]

Mujeeb didn't want total freedom, Only autonomy a kind of confederation with East Pakistan and West Pakistan. Mujeeb didn't led the revolt, he waited from 7th March to 25th March in his house, to have a talk with the administration. Basically it was Hindu cleansing and slaughtering, Not many Muslims died, That is why when Bhutto in 74 visited Dhaka, millions of people greeted him standing besides the road. Whether awami league, BNP or jamaat, all are very hostile to the idol worshipper Hindus. Awami league grabbed more Hindu lands than others. Now this is the in fighting between the Muslims of different factions. India should raise the issue of millions and millions of cleansed Hindus in international arena and demand the rehabilitation of them, carving out a portion from Bangladesh, just like the demand of Palestinean two state. That will solve the problem of chicken neck and open a sea route to North East.
