New Delhi: The Bangladesh armed forces’ participation in the Republic Day parade will add a “new dimension” to defence ties between India and Bangladesh, said Colonel Mohammad Mohtashim Hyder Chowdhury, leader of the Bangladesh contingent.

In an interview to ThePrint, Chowdhury said, as the parade got over: “This will add a new dimension to the defence relationship between India and Bangladesh… This was our first experience. I believe a new dimension will now come in our joint military drills and exercises that we will carry out. We’ve been doing many joint exercises despite the pandemic and this will continue.”

A 122-member contingent of the Bangladesh armed forces participated in the Republic Day parade Tuesday. The march was led by Lt Col. Abu Mohammed Shahnoor Shawon and his deputies Lieutenant Farhan Ishraq and Flight Lieutenant Sibat Rahman.

The contingent comprised soldiers of the Bangladesh Army, sailors of the Bangladesh Navy and pilots of the Bangladesh Air Force.

According to Chowdhury, the parade was “new and unique” for them and was the “first exposure” for the armed forces in terms of participating in the military parade of a foreign country.

“All of us had a very positive attitude and we are all excited to be here. Obviously, all these will have positive impact for the future too for both the countries,” he said.


So let's say you get invited to your large-land-owner neighbor's house for dinner and khana-peena. You accept out of courtesy and out of fear of your wife's repercussion.

After the dinner, host asks you how will dosti proceed in the future.

Do you say - you will be enemies, or do you politely say, Khana accha huwa, bhabi-ka zarda/siwaiya ka jawab nahi etc.

Our breeding prevents us from being chasham-khor.

Just pleasantries....

But us buying or adopting Indian arms - Dilli Door Ast.

I couldn't care less about feelings. I only care about facts. WHERE is the evidence that 40,000 lightly armed PA soldiers killed 3 million bangladeshis in just under 5 weeks in 1971 as per bangladeshi/indian claims?

bangaldesh is not a neighboring country of Pakistan. It is 2700 kms away from us. Afghanistan and Iran are both our neighbours.

Bangladesh



The 122-member contingent of Bangladesh Army that also took part in 72nd Republic Day parade, laid a wreath and paid tribute to fallen soldiers at the National War Memorial on January 27. Anurag Srivastava, the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson shared images of 122-member Bangladeshi regiment marching during the 72nd Republic Day parade. He deemed it a 'historic moment' in 50 years of bilateral ties between both the nations. This was for the first time, that contingent of the Bangladesh Armed Forces participated at the historic Republic Day celebrations on Tuesday.


The Bangladesh contingent included soldiers of the Bangladesh Army, sailors of the Bangladesh Navy, and air warriors of the Bangladesh Air Force. As per reports, the majority of the soldiers in the contingent come from the most distinguished units of the Bangladeshi Army comprising of 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 & 11 East Bengal Regiment and 1, 2 and 3 Field Artillery Regiment. These units reportedly also have the distinct honour of fighting and winning the Liberation War of 1971. The contingent was led by its Commander Lieutenant Colonel Abu Mohammed Shahnoor Shawon along with his deputies, Lieutenant Farhan Ishraq and Flight Lieutenant Sibat Rahman.



'Very good experience' and 'great responsibility'

Earlier, Colonel Mohatsim Hyder Chaudhary, chief of the Bangladesh contingent had said on January 25 that the marching style of both Indian and Bangladeshi contingent is similar and thus, they did not have to change the pattern a lot. Just hours before the largest and most important of the parades marking the Republic Day celebrations in India begin in New Delhi, Chaudhary had told news agency ANI that it is a 'great responsibility' assigned to Bangladeshi contingent of putting a great show. He also said that the forces are excited about Tuesday's parade.
