We are all Villain because we broke our unity of south Asian due to British divide and rule and by disrespecting humanity. As a Bangladeshi Muslim, I believe we must confront the harsh reality of our own internal crimes-especially those committed against our Hindu and other minority citizens. For too long, we’ve been in denial. Summary of Our Prophet's final message was one of compassion and universal values for all humanity: 1. Uphold human dignity. 2. Respect and honour the rights of women. 3. Strive for economic equality. 4. Reject discrimination. 5. Live by the principles of Islam-a lifestyle rooted in peace. While his message was meant for all humanity, it has often been distorted by certain Mullahs who prioritize outward appearances over true righteousness. A beard or a hijab does not make one a good human being-actions do. If we truly follow the Prophet’s teachings, we must act against injustice in all its forms, regardless of whether the victim is Jewish, Hindu, or of any other background. Upholding human dignity is the foundation of true faith.

For 16 years, Sheikh Hasina ruled Bangladesh with an iron fist, suppressing opposition, rigging elections, and silencing dissent. Despite claims of democracy, she remained in power without a legitimate voting process, turning Bangladesh into an authoritarian state. The corruption under her regime was massive-$292 billion laundered abroad, while her close associates lived in luxury overseas. Yet, India continued to support her, providing shelter when even Western nations rejected her asylum applications. Now, as her rule collapses, India must reconsider its stance. Indian media, known as "Godi Media," has been pushing biased narratives about Bangladesh, distorting facts and fueling tensions. International fact-checking organizations have repeatedly exposed these lies, showing how India manipulates information to justify its actions. One of the biggest betrayals is India’s water policies. By illegally constructing dams on international rivers, India has deprived Bangladesh of its fair share of water, creating severe crises. This is not just an issue of resources-it is a deliberate act of economic and environmental sabotage. Meanwhile, border killings by the BSF continue, escalating hostility and resentment among Bangladeshis. The economic consequences of India’s misguided policies are also severe. Some Indian states have already stopped exporting goods to Bangladesh, assuming it would bring Dhaka to its knees. But the real victims of this decision will be Indian farmers, who depend on the Bangladeshi market for their produce. If Bangladesh turns to other suppliers-whether from Europe, China, or elsewhere-India’s agricultural sector will suffer a massive blow. Prices will drop domestically, leaving farmers struggling to survive. Despite all of this, Indian politicians are too blind to see the damage they are causing. Bangladesh was named "Country of the Year" by *The Economist* for overthrowing an autocrat, while India continues to align itself with a corrupt and repressive leader. All of India’s neighboring countries are turning their backs, yet Indian leadership refuses to acknowledge its failures in foreign policy. Instead of building strong alliances, India is isolating itself, making enemies out of potential friends. The time has come for India to correct its course. Supporting Sheikh Hasina was a mistake-one that has cost both India and Bangladesh dearly. If India does not rethink its policies, it will only fuel further resentment, losing what little goodwill remains among its neighbors.

Hasina's party is very pro china, she has worked for stronger ties with china & acquired big ticket military equipments from china. The reality is that Bangladesh's geographical proximity and reliance means that they need to rely heavily on India, from essential resources like healthcare, rice, & water, to electricity. Bangladesh is a sovereign country, who has the right to decide, whether or not to engage in trade with other nations, including India. The decisions that Bangladesh makes, are voluntary decisions, that are made by Bangladeshis themselves. While Bangladesh has the freedom to form alliances with other nations, it's essential to consider any harmful impact it has on India. If these alliances are used to harm India, it could lead to issues between the two nations. It is important for Bangladesh to recognise that India's tolerance has limits. Bangladeshis have a lot of trust issues with India's power. Bangladeshis have been misled to believe India has ulterior motives to reduce their nation into a vassal state, but their fear narrative is completely imaginary. It has been India's prime strategic interest to have a united and stable Bangladesh. Unfortunately, the constant fear build-up in the Bangladeshi society, has led to current paranoid that drives Bangladesh's decision-making. The great game competition is going on between china and the US; which can be seen unfolding in nations like Bangladesh. The current leader of Bangladesh's govt, Yunus, has received a lot of funding etc from the US. His rise to power was possible by the removal of Hasina. US did warn India to get china's growing influence sorted out of Bangladesh govt and markets. Is china or the US may be funding the pak once again, but instead of Afghanistan, this time it's in Bangladesh?

What has India offered to Bangladesh so that the general people of Bangladesh feel that this is our friendly neighboring country, except for the complexities of 1971, the idea of making Bangladesh an Indian monopoly market, and the separation of an inclusive Muslim country (East and West Pakistan)

[@pratikkumar3844]

Where does India try to make indian monopoly in bangladesh economy? Explain it. Regarding Pakistan, they are an adversary of India which supports Kashmir terrorist. So definitely India will concern when ISI chief met with Bangladesh. Otherwise what business ISI has with Bangladesh unless against India?

[@muhammadsiddique1297]

@@pratikkumar3844 Your argument is India-centric and ignores Bangladesh’s sovereignty and economic realities. 1. Indian Economic Monopoly in Bangladesh - Trade Imbalance: Bangladesh imports $13B+ from India but exports only $2B, creating dependency. - Non-Tariff Barriers: India blocks Bangladeshi exports through bureaucratic hurdles. - Energy & Infrastructure Control: Controversial Adani Power deal and Indian transit benefits favor India, not Bangladesh. 2. ISI & Bangladesh’s Sovereignty - Diplomatic Rights: Bangladesh can engage with any nation, including Pakistan. - Double Standards: India meets with foreign intelligence agencies, but objects when Bangladesh does. - Regional Politics: Not everything is about India’s security concerns-Bangladesh has its own interests. Your view assumes Bangladesh is an Indian satellite state-it is not.

[@pratikkumar3844]

@@muhammadsiddique1297 Okay let me burst all these logic 1.Myth -India economy monopoly on Bangladesh - Trade imbalance- Since 80 percent of Bangladesh's exports are ready made garment products. It's main raw material like cotton etc are imported from India. Bangladesh has no sufficient production to fulfill the demand of raw material for the Bangladesh garment industry. So main importer is India. Now there are many raw material like for pharma, medical are imported from India. Even electricity is imported from India. What I am trying to say Bangladesh does not have much to export to India. Regarding the India garment industry which is much bigger than the Bangladesh garment industry, does not require much from Bangladesh. Even many products imported from Bangladesh are duty free signed by Manmohan Singh. Simply say Bangladesh don't have much capacity to produce electricity, cotton, rice, any food material to meet the demand of the Bangladesh economy. So Bangladesh need to export from India. Simply means It is not India monopoly rather than Bangladesh incompetency. - could you please explain what non- tariff barriers that India imposed on Bangladeshi goods. Energy and infrastructure control- Energy deal with Adani has no illegalities. Yousuf government has been in power for almost 6 months. If there is any illegalitie why doesn't he come and say so. And if Bangladesh don't pay the bill then why does Adani provide electricity to Bangladesh. Here electricity rate is higher in adani deals than the other electricity import from India because Adani burning coal which is not cheap. In my opinion that deal is quite fair. ISI and Bangladesh's sovereignty. 1. Diplomatic rights- Bangladesh has every right to engage with any country. You definitely could engage with Pakistan. India never object that. But why ISI, they are intelligent agency and main adversary of India. You could trade with Pakistan and make people to people relationship but ISI. India never appreciate that because it indirectly threat to India's sovereignty. And if bangladesh don't care for India's sovereignty and India will also don't care for Bangladesh's sovereignty. Double standard- India doesn't object if Bangladesh meets with any agency but ISI because of the obvious reason as I told you above. Regional Politics- What interest Bangladesh has with meeting of ISI's chief. Bangladesh is surrounded by India, only a small part share with Mayanmar. Meeting with ISI is direct treat to India's sovereignty and stability. Mind you Bangladesh share border with India's chicken and northeast state. Also ISI doesn't have much to offer to Bangladesh unless there is any policy which is against India. So, India definitely feels suspicious about bangladesh. Finally what I am saying is that Bangladesh has every right to take any decision. And if it against India, then India also has right to take any decisions and make policy which may look anti-bangladeshi or not in the interest of bangladesh. I am here for only reasonable discussion not on winning the discussion. If you are still not satisfied with my answer then please reply with facts and figures not on assumption.

One of the things our neighbors often forget is that these were once Indian territories, and India continues to maintain a sphere of influence, much like any other major country. Russia operates within its sphere of control in the former Soviet states, China in Southeast Asia, the US in North America, and Germany and France in Europe. These former Indian states and protectorate nations shouldn't really meddle or create issues for India, as they currently seem to be doing. Yes, they have the freedom to make independent decisions, but why escalate military ties with Pakistan and China when they are bordered by India on all sides? What is the necessity of holding ISI talks so close to the Indian border?

Bengalis, whether from India or Bangladesh, are a proud people who won’t take things lying down. As expected, Cheema made another weak argument-this time claiming that India treats Bangladesh the same way Pakistan treats Afghanistan. The reality couldn’t be more different. India and Bangladesh share deep historical, cultural, and economic ties that Pakistan’s strained relationship with Afghanistan simply cannot compare to. If Pakistan thinks it can meddle in India-Bangladesh relations, it’s in for a rude awakening. Yes, there are challenges between India and Bangladesh, but the media often exaggerates them, and they will be resolved with time. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and India share a strong sense of nationalism-something Pakistan struggles to comprehend. Bringing in Qamar Cheema for this discussion felt like a misstep. It didn’t add any meaningful perspective and instead backfired, making the conversation seem more about theatrics than substance.

For the international viewer: Mahfuz Anam is someone who is widely accepted as pro-Indian in Bangladesh. Secondly, he did not explore the reason why Hindus were beaten, I guess either he intentionally did not discuss or he simply missed it. Hindus put their eggs in Awami League baskets. So when AL fall, AL politicians and supporters who took illegal advantages of AL reign faced repercussions. So it has less relationship with religious identity than supporting a fascist party blindly. Funny thing is, in terms of attacking people during AL reign, they did not make any discriminations based on religion or followed "secular principle" as Hindus suffered too. Still for the perceived existential crisis of the Hindus, they prefer AL more, resulting with AL not takkng care of them as Hindus are AL secured vote banks whatever the situation is, while other parties know no matter what betterment they do for the Hindus, the Hindus would not vote them, making Hindus sufferer from both sides. It is because Hindus in Bangladesh do not set their voting policies from Bangladesh, rather from higher caste Indian Hindus. There has to be a change in this mentality. See, West Bengal Muslims voted for the leftists as well as for Mamta Banarjee. Bangladeshi Hindus should learn from it.

Interesting discussion, but it's important to recognize that India has been heavily involved in supporting Sheikh Hasina’s government over the last 14 years, often at the expense of democratic processes in Bangladesh. While India sees Hasina as an ally, there’s a valid concern about how this has affected Bangladesh’s internal political dynamics. India's approach has sometimes seemed to favor certain factions while ignoring the broader spectrum of voices in its neighboring countries. It’s crucial that India reassess its role and engage more constructively with all stakeholders in the region, moving beyond just its own interests.
