Greater Bangladesh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greater Bangladesh (translated variously as Bengali : বৃহত্তর বাংলাদেশ , Brihat Bangladesh ; [ 1 ] Bengali : বৃহৎ বাংলাদেশ Brihad Bangladesh ; [ 2 ] Bengali : মহাবাংলাদেশ , Maha Bangladesh ; [ 3 ] and Bengali : বিশাল বাংলা , Bishal Bangla [ 4 ] ) is a political theory circulated by a number of Indian politicians and writers that People's Republic of Bangladesh is trying for the territorial expansion to include the Indian states of West Bengal , Assam and others in northeastern India. [ 5 ] The theory is principally based on fact that a large number of Bangladeshi illegal immigrants reside in Indian territory.
A number of Indian politicians and journalistsalleged that advocates of a Greater Bangladesh seek the expansion of Bangladeshi hegemony in Northeastern India , including the states of Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya and Tripura , as well as the Arakan province of Burma (Myanmar), where there is a considerable population of Bengali Muslims. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] It was also alleged that United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) conspired with state of Bangladesh to secede four to five Muslim majority districts of Assam to form a Greater Bangladesh, though Bangladesh in the contrary arrested a number of ULFA leaders, [ 12 ] including RanjuChowdhury, Arabinda Rajkhowa and Anup Chetia , to support Indian action against militancy. [ 13 ]
In 2002, nine Islamic groups including Indianmilitant organizations Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA), Muslim United Liberation Front of Assam (MULFA) and Muslim Volunteer Force (MVF), Pakistani militant organization Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HUM), Myanmar groups Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO) and Arakan Ronhingya Islamic Front of Mynamar (ARIFM), and Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami , a pan-South Asian militant organization outlawed in Bangladesh with leaders sentenced to death, [ 14 ] formed a coalition that declared the formation Greater Bangladesh as one of their aims. [ 1 ] [ 15 ] Historically India has been accusing Bangladesh of supporting extremist organizations like ULFA and National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), while Bangladeshaccused India of supporting similar organizations like Swadhin Bangabhumi Andolan and United People's Democratic Front (UPDF).

At the turn of the 21st century, Indian political circles started to take a serious look at Bangladeshi illegal immigrants infiltrating into India. [ 5 ] Bangladesh is under pressure from India as a source of rebellion in Indian North-East for this Indian perception. [ 17 ] It is also hard pressed to convince India that encouraging migration is not a state policy ofBangladesh. [ 17 ] The state of Bangladesh denied the existence of these immigrants while stripping them of their Bangladeshi citizenship. [ 5 ] According to Jyoti M. Pathaniaof South Asia Analysis Group the reasons for Bangladeshi immigration to India are: basic need theory i.e. food, shelter and clothing, economic dictates i.e. employment opportunity, better wages and comparatively better living conditions, demographic disproportion especially for minorities (Hindus) in this densely populated country having roughly a density of 780 per km 2 as against half that number on Indian side of the border, and being cheap labor the Bangladeshis find easy acceptance as ¡°domestic helps¡± in Indian homes, which keeps proliferating by ever increasing demand for domestic helps. [ 18 ] The Centre for Women and Children Studies estimated in 1998 that 27,000 Bangladeshis have been forced into prostitution in India.
Achieving a "Greater Bangladesh" as Lebensraum (additional living space) is alleged to be the reason for large-scale illegal immigration from Bangladesh into India's northeastern states. [ 6 ] Similarly it is alleged that illegal immigration is actively encouragedby some political groups in Bangladesh as well as the state of Bangladesh to convert large parts of India's northeastern states andWest Bengal into Muslim-majority areas that would subsequently seek to separate from India and join Muslim-majority Bangladesh. [ 6 ] One Indian proposition is that the state of Bangladesh is pursuing a territorial design seeking a Lebensraum for its teeming population and trying to establish a Greater Bangladesh. [ 5 ] Another proposition called for capturing one or t
