It take my breath away when I think about how we financed the west Pakistani adventure to wrestle Kashmir from India by force while our own border remain unprotected against possible Indian backlash.They got most of the revenue from East Pakistan and most of that spent on army which was almost exclusively West Pakistani, stationed in West Pakistan to wage war against India.Currently we don't face any threat of Indian backlash if Pakistan escalate tension with India.Our defence force is not as strong as like Pakistan but al least they are devoted to protect this land rather than foot soldering for others.
Only a under strength division was stationed in East Pakistan without ant tanks without any combat aircrafts While India was enemy.Think about that! At least we have now ten division army devoted to defence of us.I want to spit on the face of those who preach, Bangladesh would have been secured if it remained with Pakistan.
BD can afford to wait till 2030 for sufficient conventional forces to deter even India.
Once BD economy is stronger and militarily secure, then it can force India to treat it as an equal. Till then India will use it's leverage for it's own interests.
