your relations with india are not good either.Yes, we are racially and genetically different people. Please don't consider my post as hate post. Its a fact that Bangladeshi nationalism is based on everything anti-Pakistan. If somebody wants to show off how patriotic Bangladeshi he is he should say give some anti-Pakistani statements in public. We are genetically closer to Bengalis of India (West Bengal), Assam, Bihar and Oddisha and to some extent with South Indians. I feel no shame to say our ancestors were all Hindus and Buddhists. Then Muslims came to Bengal and changed the demography but they couldn't change our culture and language. In reality we are religiously Muslims but culturally Hindus. This may hurt some Bangladeshis who may suffer the identity crisis but fact is we are culturally way more Hindu centric than Pakistanis. Its not possible to have any relation with Pakistan because our history, our culture, our ideology are such that these will always prevent us to have bilateral relation.
i feel bilateral relations have nothing to do with culture and history .These are based mostly on security /defence and economic interests.
Being a Pakistani despite the hate most of the Bangladeshis fed and express against Pakistan whether fair or unfair that is another debate, we Pakistanis hardly carry any such widspread hate against BD.So in the real world if Hassina and Co ponder upon realities and do away with Pakistan phobia then Pak-BD bilateral relations can begin and prosper strengthening your defence mechanism.
