Tensions rise in Bangladesh amid anti-India protests, New Delhi flags security concerns

I think this incident will redefine BD relationship with Ind. IF there ever was a chance of normalized Ind & BD relationship, it is gone for a long time. India succeeded to sow the same seed of hatred in BD which Pak did almost 54 years ago.

Pakistan-BD relation have improved a lot at people level. After Hasina's departure, it also improved at state level.

1971 happened over 50 years ago. Most people have moved on. A few losers from Hasina's party may still feel salty but they are irrelevant currently.

India did 3 blunders in Bangladesh - 1) they tried to interfere in BD's internal matters, 2) they instilled a puppet in the form of Hasina, and 3) they ripped off Bangladesh at every opportunity they got.

If India stayed neutral like China, things could've remained cordial.

India also got hijacked by sanghi extremists. They harm/dehumanize minorities in India and that also played a factor.

Suffice to say BD have entered a new political era. It is heading toward a new status quo.

Looks like the Jamaat goons are still destroying Bangladesh’s whatever little infrastructure they have.

Keep going Mushfiqs. Destroy more. We fully support you.

Let me say it without sugarcoating, despite the ugly game Pak military general played, there was one thing in common between BD and Pak - religion.

I do understand that religion does not mean an automatic forgiveness, but it does have an effect of binding. That binding force never went away between Pak and BD. Of course, generation passed, things evolved, and hence some wounds healed.

Indian (Sanghi) stupidity will not only push BD far away from them, now it will push BD further into China's camp. It will make Chinese job easier to play some sort of a game in the NE of India. Let see how things GRADUALLY unfold.

Yeah. Religion is definitely a very important common factor among all Muslim states.

I can't speak for other Bangladeshis. But, I always put religious identity over national identity. A Nigerian Muslim or a Pakistani Muslim is dearer to me than a Bangladeshi atheist, for example.

As for India, they are getting very isolated due to their shortsightedness and hubris. Their reputation is tanking. They may decline in different metrics in the long run.

China is playing it very intelligently. They do not interfere in internal matters of other countries. They do not try to install puppets. They focus on growth which is commendable.
