Why India must build bridges with Bangladesh Army : Gen KJ Singh & Brig SS Ahluwalia

In this episode of #TheTribuneInterview, the ouster of Sheikh Hasina as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh has serious implications for India, with the possibility of terror groups and anti-India elements gaining a foothold in the country, and immigration into north-Indian states increasing, thereby posing a demographic challenge. Also at stake is economic cooperation. Lt Gen KJ Singh, who has commanded a corps based in West Bengal, and Brig SS Ahluwalia, a decorated veteran of the 1971 Indo-Pak war who later commanded a brigade in the east, discuss the ongoing situation and the way ahead with The Tribune’s Editor-in-Chief, Jyoti Malhotra and Special Correspondent Vijay Mohan

There are two main factions in the BD military--one with jihadi mentality and the other with secularist, moderate leanings. Almost all of BD weaponry is Chinese. Indian military is aware of this but still has had cordial relations with the BD counterparts. We don't need to build any new bridges with the BD army. Gen KJ Singh stating that India treats BD as a "gulam" is not just absurd and totally incorrect but unhelpful and disturbing coming from such a senior officer. As a native of Assam with deep family defence ties, I know what I'm saying. India has literally sacrificed its huge garments business to help BD rise and bent over backwards on many other issues.

The biggest problem is that these big-shot generals live in a world of their own and ignore the reality on the ground. It is comforting for them to create an alternate reality that they want to live in instead of facing reality. Let us ask why the people in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Bangladesh do not like India. People in these countries once loved India and now they are turned against. Why? Isn’t the Indian foreign policy led by Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar ji and Ajit Doval ji a total failure? India had enjoyed an excellent relationship with Canada which is now rocking because of the policy and action failure. In Bangladesh’s case, it is a country infiltrated by RAW at every level and there is no way intelligence from any other country would have the slightest chance of penetrating. The unarmed peaceful student protest was organic. Hasina started killing them and playing games with them with her kangaroo court and thought the students were stupid and would be scared of her guns. She abducted thousands of students and killed thousands, but could not stop them. After over seventeen years of suppression, atrocious brutal killings, torture, and abductions the students lost their fear and started standing before the armed Hasina goons, police, and army barehand defying their authorities. One has to ask how desperate one has to become to get to that point. It is time for India to overhaul its foreign policy with the neighboring countries and start people to people-to-people diplomacy program and support the people instead of blindly supporting autocratic dictators. India should develop a win-win policy that supports democracies through transparent free and fair participatory elections. Instead of demonizing Jamat and Shibir start a dialogue with them. In Germany, they have a Christian Democratic Party. No one demonizes them because they have a religious name. India needs to move away from old geriatric thinking and move on with Gen Z generation participation and leadership that will develop people-to people relation in the neighborhood.

[@adityabanerjee7145]

People to people contact always becomes a leftist affair where everyone in the world not aligned to left are blamed as demons. India is engaged with Bangladesh in startups, space, infrastructure, defense exercises and what not. Yes Modi and Hasina maybe autocratic - but they doggedly follow many development paths with tangible benefits, which is what South Asia needs.... not a good for nothing leadership.

[@ATIQUZZAMAN-ue1oo]

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s downfall was significantly influenced by Generation Z in Bangladesh. Key reasons include: 1. **Autocratic Rule**: Gen Z, exposed to global information, grew frustrated with Hasina’s autocratic governance and limited freedom of expression. 2. **Inequality**: Policies favoring the elite and the controversial job-quota system widened social inequalities, frustrating the youth. 3. **Economic Challenges**: Despite economic growth, many young people struggled to find stable, well-paying jobs, fueling discontent. 4. **Protests and Crackdowns**: Harsh crackdowns on protests, including police brutality, galvanized the youth against Hasina’s administration. 5. **Disconnect from Youth**: Hasina’s administration was seen as disconnected from the younger generation’s aspirations and needs. These factors led to a powerful Gen Z movement, ultimately forcing Hasina to resign and flee the country.

Respect to Mr. KJ Singh and The Tribune for this program. I strongly disagree with Mr. Alu, who blindly supports the Hasina regime without even mentioning the genocide she has committed-killing, kidnapping, extrajudicial killings, and denying an entire generation under 34 the right to vote. This is a mass killing of democracy. It’s really disappointing that Mr. Alu didn't mention a single point about Hasina's forces killing more than 400 people on-site with her own police force. Mr. Alu also wrongly accused BNP and Jamaat of leading the protests, when in fact they were initiated by our Generation Z students, and the interim government is still being led by them. This interim government, of course, needs to negotiate with other political parties, as the current challenges involve maintaining stable law and order. However, India is still blindly supporting Hasina rather than the people of Bangladesh and their thoughts and beliefs. Mr. Singh is a talented speaker, and I would like to share these thoughts with Mr. Modi. We are neighbors of India, and we want solidarity and a close alliance with India.

guys you should think about india not about Bangladesh

[@DrSatti]

Not Pakistan, Bangladesh, but Bangladesh will become New Pakistan. When Sheikh Mujib was leading the political movement in collaboration with India, Bengalis in the then Pakistani army also supported the movement in their own way. Major Ziaur Rehman killed his commanding officer, seized the Chittagong radio station and announced the formation of independent Bangladesh in March 1971. At that time, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was in the jail of Pakistan. So Bangladesh army considers itself as the founder and liberator of Bangladesh. On the other hand, Mujibur Rahman's party, along with its own militant group Mukti Bahini, considers itself the liberator of Bangladesh. This is a new version of Sunni-Shia conflict in secular terms. After the assassination of the Mujib family, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party or BNP tried to destroy Mujib's legacy and tore down his statues. Major Ziaur Rahman was now the General and President of Bangladesh and founded the BNP. Jamiat-e-Islami naturally became its ally because it is the ally of the British army left in Pakistan. When Awami League came back to power, it banned BNP and hanged Jamiat leaders. After the current change, Bangladeshis look up to generals as Pakistanis used to welcome generals in different eras. Now Bangladeshi generals will collect properties like Pakistani generals and use Bengali politicians as puppets. India now has an old enemy in the west, a bigger enemy in the north and a new enemy in the east. The only route to India is the Indian Ocean. Attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh are not the common community but mainly those who got minority quota under Hasina Sheikh. But India will try to use this as an excuse to push Hasina Sheikh back to Bangladesh. There is a serious threat of civil war. It looks like now Bangladesh may turn into new Pakistan version 2.

You Indian guys don't want to acknowledge the truth of Hasina regime and rule of India about Bangladesh. An cruel autocrat Hasina ruled Bangladesh without any mandate and only Indian government supported her to continue her illegal rule. Now all generations are aware about Indian government role.

In depth analysis by the Defence Experts...😊🙏

[@xyzzys3245]

Who is Abdul Samad? His name is Muhammad Yunus. These guys barely have a single clue about the internal politics of Bangladesh. Yet, they act like experts😂 But it’s true that maintaining a positive relation between BD and India is important for both BD and India.

[@k.amalan7405]

TERRORISM MAY FIND ITS ROUTES.NEVER TO MAKE TERRORISM CONSPIRED ENTITY IN A UNITED INDIA.

[@reshmanoor7411]

First thing that our government should do.....set an example at home, ....SAVE MINORITIES AT MONIPUR and KASHMIR. Secondly, STOP POKING NOSE TO ITHER COUNTRIES AFFAIRS...........why most of our states ...GDP is less than Bangladesh.

[@cityofjoy8830]

Its now 3 fronts atleast for indian defence planners. Any idea about peace is utopia. This is East Pakistan as of now. 🇺🇸 worked hard to do this.

[@sanasama2209]

Tribune - please kick this heckler Malhotra. Untill she is with you, you will have no views🙄. Shekhar Gupta realised that long ago🤪

[@hassanazmi9444]

Its you who turned her from Shekh Hasina to Lendup Dorgi then a dictator.

[@husainnaqi]

Indian jamaat send a mission to Bangladesh.

[@ramatgan1]

Firstly they must extradite the killer Sheikh Hasina.

[@xiinsilver9882]

Plz save bangladeshi hindu from Bangladesh hindu.

[@mohammadnezamuddin9998]

your discussion about july uprising in Bangladesh which ousted Hasina regime is marking me laught. What ignorance do you have to explain why regime has changed by uprising. You are completely in ignorance why Hasina forced to flee by mass Uprising. If don't know the reason of uprising how India will be able to keep a effective relationship with Bangladesh. If India want to know why most Bangladeshi hate India How India will win the Heart of Bangladeshi people for her interest i will explain.... Most of Indian think tank are in ignorance.

[@SamsuddinGazi-yz7sc]

India treat Bangladesh as a subordinate . Not a dysy

[@saidkahar5414]

Problems is bjp stunch anti muslim.

[@sandeepchauhan5271]

What about USA led West who has butchered tens of thousands of muslims around the world in the name of radical Islamists??? Even Russia china did same in chechya and xiziang respectively. USA using pakistan army like condoms since 1947 so same gonna happen with your country 😊

[@gazisalahuddin6799]

What's wrong with thinking Bangladesh should be our servant because we helped them become independent? Is that a question really coming from an Indian journalist? My God! you really are delusional.

[@abdurrauf5067]

Although three army general have discussed nicely about independent history of Bangladesh and it's geographical position as well. Having said that they have concealed Sheikh Hasina's atrocity, suppression, oppression, disappear ance, extra judicial killings in Bangladesh. I would respectfully request these honorable panel members that you may have take many information from distinguish Hindu individuals, like ex chief Justice sinha, advocate Gobindo chandra pramanik, Goiashor chandra roy about Sheikh Hasina's activities during the last fifteen years. Thank you.

[@xiinsilver9882]

Thanks sir, you are actual reality ground, gen z

[@mehedihasan-ny1rv]

Shame for Indian Intellectuals. Third Class propaganda

[@duttaz]

In my opinion this is an opportunity for India to secure Bangladesh border just like Pakistan and China and let Bangladesh go down the drain. Let Bangladesh people shout that we want India.. That time will. Come soon when it will turn into afghanistan..

[@alimurad1823]

Indian Analysts should study more about Bangladesh.

[@AbdusSalam-nz6jg]

Hasina government good for India but Hasina governmen are very bad for Bangladesh because India can dominate to Bangladesh Hasina government. Young students isn’t like your mentality . They are very Morden minding and loving Bangladesh , are you oil your machine , India have no any neighbour hood friends accept Bangladesh .Bangladesh as soon as cut the friendship with India.

[@mrathnam3080]

Absolutely rubbish to say that Idians treat bangladeshis as Gulams. Such rhetoric bt army retired personnel is anti national and crude

[@aztours7144]

Gen KJ singh thank you for fair analysis of the situation

[@ramanand7639]

Your premise that India should build bridges with Bangladesh is fundamentally wrong. It is up to Bangladesh to. Uild bridges with India if they wish.Sardar ji which world are you living?

[@pachforon9629]

Build bridges with BD people.

[@PureIntentions365]

As a Bangladeshi, I think Gen. Singh has a more nuanced understanding of Bangladesh and what happened here recently. None of us had any idea that things would turn out like this. If anything is responsible for this situation it's our ex-pm Hasina's stubbornness. People had a general dislike towards but not to the point that they would be out protesting against her. All the dislikeable things aside like free and open elections, and the right to freedom of speech if she had been open to listening to the students at the right time we would have a different situation. India needs to come out of the radical Islamist narrative. The number of people who go to India for travel and treatment purposes is unlike any other nationalities. There are extremists on both sides but I think are in the minority.

[@AbuMasoomReza-cd7mv]

Salute to you Madam.

[@nazzm7298]

Afg was occupied by foreign forces.

[@KamrulKhan-rf5ls]

Army is for people of Bangladesh, If national people agree with a decision than army give their statement with the same road. its mean army has been made for bangladeshi citizen to protect them. You should study more about army and others on bangladesh. he is suggesting to bridge with army instead of bangladeshi citizens. Researchers are made statement with their own. They don't now how to start😂
