The silence is deafening. The USA, the self appointed tutor of rights and democracy across the world, has been completely mum on the attacks on minorities in Bangladesh. The latest display of this gag was the dropping of the mention of Bangladesh and atrocities against Hindus from the readout on the Modi-Biden talks. Why is the US avoiding being critical of the situation in Bangladesh under the military-backed caretaker government led by Muhammad Yunus? Experts see India and the US, two strategic allies, not being on the same page on Bangladesh, and suggest that India needs to keep that in mind going ahead.
In fact, when it comes to India's interests in Bangladesh, the US has been in the opposite camp. It tried to prevent the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971, and then sided with political parties that were pro-Pakistan. It has always backed the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), during whose rule anti-India forces found Bangladesh a safe haven. It is also believed that the US worked over the years to undermine the Awami League rule under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
