About 53 years ago, East Pakistan was dissolved. The same area emerged on the world map as Bangladesh. The religious beliefs of the people there remained the same. Only the culture that was associated with the era was maintained. The fight was also for this. The people of that era won this battle. India stood with them like a rock in their fight. Defeating Pakistan, Bangladesh was created. This is history. The present is that after becoming a separate country, India established very deep relations with it. Bangladesh also progressed according to its own wishes. It is a different matter that the country’s economy deteriorated in the last phase of Sheikh Hasina’s rule. Still, whatever is being done in Bangladesh right now does not seem to improve the financial condition of the country. Rather, from the kind of activities that are being seen, it seems that China, Pakistan and America will take advantage of the situation to serve their own interests and push Bangladesh’s economy into a dark well.
helped, did not interfere
Apart from trade, India has been providing electricity and infrastructure facilities to Bangladesh. A large part of the electricity used in Bangladesh is sent by India through its cables. Many Indian projects are still going on in the country. Still, India has never interfered in the internal affairs of Bangladesh. After the independence of Bangladesh, many times the situation was such that many influential people there wanted India to intervene and improve the situation. But India followed its policy of remaining neutral.
A benevolent appeal for peace
Now a section of the citizens there who can be called miscreants attacked the Hindus. They vandalised their places of worship. Yet the Indian government and other influential groups only appealed to the interim government of Bangladesh to maintain law and order there. The government has not even warned its neighbour. This should be seen as India’s benevolence.
Why are you breaking your own symbol of respect?
now in bangladesh News of breaking of those statues is also coming, which was related to the freedom struggle of the country. Those who suddenly became Taliban and broke the statues should remember that this was also a mark of their own respect. After all, it was due to those soldiers that East Pakistan won over Pakistan. It would be appropriate to remind once that General Niazi had surrendered along with 93 thousand soldiers in front of Indian General Jagjit Singh on 16 December 1971. This was the surrender of the largest group of soldiers after the Second World War. Many statues were built there in its memory. Those too were broken by the miscreants.
China has always been interested in Bangladesh
These events have made it seem that powers like China, Pakistan and America are involved in the chaos in Bangladesh. From a strategic point of view, all three of them want to establish their foothold in Bangladesh. China has also been investing there for these purposes. However, Sheikh Hasina’s government has been dealing with this with better diplomacy and has also been getting the necessary benefits from China.

Now the Bangladesh government has the challenge of maintaining law and order. It also has to give impetus to the country’s economy. Otherwise we have already seen the worsening economic condition of Sri Lanka. The condition of Pakistan’s economy is also in front of everyone. In this regard, Bangladesh should move away from the Taliban path for its own benefit. No one can gain anything by breaking idols and attacking minorities.
