By dehati did you mean the one used in the streets of karachi /Lahore?

No I don't speak that crappy form of Urdu

BD doesn't need nukes(at least for now) and has a big enough economy and way less dependence on India(unlike Nepal or Bhutan) to be able to take its own stand. Just a recent example of this would be BD contemplating increasing its palm oil imports from Malaysia after India reduced theirs.

As for IK's visit. I'm in full favor of it...I would like to see Pak/BD relations heading in a positive direction. The point I was making is that u can't fault the ppl(Pakistanis on PDF) for expressing their frustrations(such as thinking that IK's trip to BD would be a waste) bcuz Hasina has done much to show that BD stands with India and against Pak(indirectly).

she at the end of the day is a politician, and politics is a dirty game especially in south asia. she and two other ministers already cancelled their visits to india and had their say in india's recent fuckup. basically she is keeping her head down as long as possible until effective deterrence is built up... ie military and economy

 

[Avicenna]

I agree that IK should go but the ppl's frustration on this thread and the opinions to have IK opt out are based on Hasina's behavior. Regardless...Pak should do its part...whatever the results.

You know I used to be very anti-Hasina.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize she's a very smart lady.

She does what she does for a reason. (Though I do believe she has strong anti-Pakistan sentiments personally)

Regardless, the average Bangladeshi (at least in my experience) favors Pakistan over India. (And its not even close)

Given, IK's sentiments, this is a good time for reconciliation between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Of course, there is the religious aspect.

But lets ignore that part for now, even in strategic terms, India would be VERY displeased with this sort of reapproachment.

Also, if public sentiment is worth anything, Bangladesh does not see India as a friend.

If you see what she has done with the economy then she would get an A for that - GDP growth is high, infrastructure spending has gone through the roof, plenty of tech being developed internally within BD(electronics, pharma, shipbuilding and IT), FDI has reached similar levels to India in per capita terms and all the while debt to gdp ratio is by far the lowest on the subcontinent.

The only area she has messed up is not beefing up the armed forces(especially the BAF) quicker. She cannot excuse incompetence on the part of BAF as she has authority to appoint the leadership and it seems that she just did not see the threat coming from Myanmar in 2017, despite the fact they cleansed hundreds of thousands of Rohingya from 2012 till the events of 2017 occurred.

That is Pakistani Urdu. Not our issue if you have problem understanding it. We don't understand Bangla either.

If Hasina or BD insult Imran Khan, he will publicly slam them into the curb. Age of coward leaders is over in Pakistan.

She might try to score some points for Modi. So I am sure he is ready.

Furthermore IK should discuss Kashmir openly and citizen issue in India.

 

[American Pakistani]

IMO,

IK should visit Bangladesh for D8. Hopefully the visit will flush away the negative thoughts that has been programmed into our Bangladeshi brothers and sisters by our common enemy.

But,

He should (behind the scenes of course) make an agreement that no nonsense deadhorse about 71 will be beaten. Nor will any Indian lines. Plus BDSH will reciprocate in similar manner when any meet up is to be taken place in Pakistan, unlike the past when Bangladesh refused to visit Pakistan soon after India refused.

 

[fitpOsitive]

As long as Hasina is there, we should simply forget and ignore BD altogether. Besides BD also opposed SAARC being held in Pakistan at the behest of India. We should simply be returning the favor.

its not SAARC, its something else.

Doubt it.

She's not stupid.

Also, IK is super charismatic. i.e. personally likable.

If she WERE to do such a thing, it would be damning as a confirmation of Indian influence over Bangladesh.

May 30, 31. Too much time to make a decision.

D8 Countries can probably collectively rule this century, if they can just have synergy without the outside political BS, its the only organisation that I ever been fond of due to its huge potential, with over 1.1 billion population and representing 60% of all muslims; I feel D8 is far more relevant for Pakistan to invest its time and energy then the defunct OIC, which is plagued by GCC sand roaches.

It has all they heavy weight muslim countries; Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia and Egypt and with now Bangladesh coming out of its shadows, I feel Pakistan leadership should focus on building closer ties with these nations politically and more so economically, as we have seen Pakistan uninsured anchor docked in GCC nations for decades has been rusting away, and today when it was time to reclaim, there was no warranty to show for it just a smug backstab by these tyranical pests, thats what you get with leaders with short sightedness of putting all their eggs in one basket. Pakistan needs to diversify and not depend on expats in GCC, which is destroying our national interests due to foreign policy being dictated by the blackmail of a few despots.

I am not a fan of Hasina, but I love the Bangladeshi people I hope both countries ties improve and our trade increases manifolds, I wish for closer social and economic ties, we both share a common enemy, and need to keep this beast in check for the greater good of the subcontinent.

I am aware its not SAARC. I am just pointing out what Hasina did when SAARC was to happen in Pakistan. She sided with India and chose to boycott it.

We will be there with our own agenda.

Bd army no longer owned Islamic ideology, Jihad e fisabilillah. They are more like a hifazat e choar hasina.

What is the basis of your claim? Stop posting intuitive ideas that have few acceptance in our society.

People like you were the main cause of defeat in the battle of Uhud. If you don't have slightest idea about military strategy, don't talk Jihad e fe sabilillah, it's quite embarrassing.

 

[Old School]

Your post is highly sensationalized, not based on facts. Bd army no longer owned Islamic ideology, Jihad e fisabilillah. They are more like a hifazat e choar hasina.
.

You are expecting jihad e fisabilliah from an army which is built on British colonial doctrines. Same goes for our army in Pakistan. All British connected elements must be expelled from south Asia.This also includes British sponsored local slaves and politicians. French and British are the biggest enemies of Islam.
The doctrine and modus operandi of 'an Islamic army' do not exist anywhere in the world now. We have to wait untill the existance is there.
