The crux of the problem is, India has world's largest cow population, but it's people do not eat cow meat. Smuggling cow from India to Bangladesh is one of the most lucrative smuggling activity in the world. It's profit margin is 10 times. A lot of poor villagers in border region are desperate to get a slice from it. And they stop at nothing. If you have watched this video, BSF kill equal number of Indian citizen also. So, it is more of a general human rights violation issue. Fortunately in last 2-3 years, this killing reduced by 80-90 percent due to several factors.
Let India have BD, they are the same bunch anyway.
Why doesn't your government say anything about BSF mercilessly butchering so many innocent bangladeshis like animals. View attachment 558838 View attachment 558839

New Delhi: If China was flexing its muscle through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and China-Pakistan economic corridor, India too seemed to have its diplomatic counter in place.

On Monday, both the countries warmed up to the idea that is widely seen as India's counter to China and it's growing influence.

During the meeting, they discussed various issues related to bilateral interests including the construction of the Akhaura-Agartala railway track as well as improvement of the bilateral relations.
The Indian High Commissioner suggested that Bangladesh can develop smart cities replicating the smart cities in India.
In response, the Finance Minister said, “We've plenty of opportunities and places for building smart cities. If India is interested, then we’re ready to develop the smart cities keeping India as our development partner.”
Terming Bangladesh as one of India’s important friendly countries, Riva Ganguly said cooperation on various bilateral issues between these two neighbouring countries would continue in the coming days.
Noting that boosting regional connectivity would bring economic prosperity in this region, she said that there has been a significant development in roads and railways communication between Bangladesh and India.
The Indian envoy also lauded the project management system in Bangladesh.
Terming the country’s relations with India as historic, the Bangladesh Finance Minister said Bangladesh attaches the highest importance on its relations with India.

He also said due to the strategic geographical location of Bangladesh, the country has turned into a place for regional connectivity, foreign direct investment and global outsourcing.
The Finance Minister said Bangladesh is now enjoying demographic dividend and it would enjoy such facility till 2061.
He also suggested that India could invest in Bangladesh’s education sector, assist in the procurement process of the Electronic Fiscal Devices at the NBR as well as automation of the NBR, banking sector and fuel storage center.
What garbage? Pakistan and China have been strategic allies since decades.
As for BD under Hassina, it can be Indian side kick for all we care.
But BD has higher percentage of Chinese weapons than Pakistan, so BD is also a Chinese client state.As far as I know Pakistan is a Client State of China. Since when it becomes strategic allies? A master can never be a partner.
do you think the whole world who believe that India?^ India doesn't believe in having anyone, like China does with her client states. We believe in a model of inclusive growth and equitable development, in a way that is mutually beneficial to all parties concerned.
^ India doesn't believe in having anyone, like China does with her client states. We believe in a model of inclusive growth and equitable development, in a way that is mutually beneficial to all parties concerned.
China, for one, believes us and has come to terms with our perspective on the BRI.do you think the whole world who believe that India?
But BD has higher percentage of Chinese weapons than Pakistan, so BD is also a Chinese client state.
Bangladesh is not reliant of Chinese debt or aid for bailout like some other countries which in turn fall into China's debt trap like Sri Lanka, Kenya next.
You still got to pay us back.
