Look, let's have a reality check. its all good talking about revolution and change but what good are you likely to get when you start hostilities with a country which surrounds you for 95% of your border? If you think China will bail you out then please think again because
1.Economic Reasons: India is China's fifth largest trading partner and Chinese are not idiots to sacrifice this huge market for a relatively small market.
2.Ideological Reasons: Chinese communist ideology doesn't mix well with Islam and they are having plenty of trouble with Uighur Muslims, so they will be naturally weary about a new islamic state in their vicinity. (it may sound unethical but realities seldom are).
3.Military Reasons: Well, this is redundant because any country with a sensible man at its helm will not initiate a possible nuclear confrontation for another country.
Thanks mate, as an Indian Bangali myself, I wish you a very happy Borodin. may santa bring happiness to all.
Can't help but agree with U partially. But then again BD is not a tiny country. We are a country of 150 mn spanning over an area of 148000 Sq/km. We are not landlocked either. We have a border with Mayanmar, a pretty politically conscious Youth, a stong opposition and most importantly we are a muslim country. We don't share cultural similarity with Indian not even west begal except the language. We were actually doing fine albiet India poking nose here & there till 2006-07. Its just the last four years that increased our vulnerability against India thanks to ruling rampant looting, atrocities & Indian dalali. No proxy regime can stay in power forever which is all the more so if it lacks people's support, history is witness to such examples.
Economic reasons: We don't expect china to fight for BD with India. But a chinese umbrella will shild BD against Indians dadagiri.
Well , we are not dependent on India either. Most of our trade is with China & US. Trade with India is a burden given India's hidden tarrif barriers, and rampant smuggling of abusive drugs into. India does a rip off of BD with 3 Bn $$$ of export of garbage junk. We never needed India since 71 and never will.
Idological reasons: There is no permanent friend or foe in international relations. China have legitimate strategic and economic interest in BD and BOB. They are not traditional communist either.
It doesn't matter whether the cat is balck or white as long as it can catch mice. -Deng Xiaoping theory also applies to relations with muslim countries.
Military reasons: Sadly this is one point i had to accept. This is one of the reasons why I as a muslim ,feel 71 was a disaster for BD. Then again all hope is not lost.Whether it is a trail or punishment , It was by Allah(swt) will that 71 happened. We are not that weak. India never wanted us to have an independent army to begin with. Much like how India shaped sikkim before 74. But still with Allah(swt) will BD managed to raise a standing army, a navy & a AF, that too very effective. India always kept BD unstable by sometimes funding insurgency like in CHT for 30 years and backing opportunist terrorist groups like BAL , but still BD moved on. With expansion of BD's economy, there is absolutely no reason why we can not field a powerful conventional military against the likes of India. S.korea is one such example.
