Well, even though this is a bit off-topic - the main point in India's interests in Bangladesh is the transit issue. This interest has been around ever since the 70s. Especially considering that the NE parts of India are a bit...shaky.
But then, theoretically, the transit through Bangladesh is a win-win scenario for both countries. The question is, would Bangladesh reap the benefits from this? Considering the kind of leadership Bangladesh has been under ever since the post Ershad era? That is, from a practical point of view.
As far proof goes, I don't think The Economist puts up random gibberish out of nowhere. And this matter has been discussed in Bangladesh well before the article was even published.
Understand that during the previous BNP administration, Bangladesh was used as a facility to arm ULFA rebels. Funding came from other sources.
India even helped Hasina and other key AL leaders out of prison during the caretaker government.

India and Bangladesh had been fighting a virtual covert war for the past 40 years since Bangladesh's creation.
Therefore, India's interests in Bangladesh are valid considering the factors present there.

Topic: our country, our rules. we'll decide who's allowed here, who's not.
Your political parties should decide first what exactly they want from India. it confuses us as to what exactly are you guys demanding. if your govt feels it doesn't benefit them they should refuse to sign contract and stick to their decision. If your parties can sort out differences and think over it, both countries can benefit from transit.
it needs to turn overt now. most Indians are in the dark about country's relationship with BD. they need to change their view of BD as "friendly, brotherly country" to something else.
..this time it has done so.
Guarding national security is one thing, but banning media is kind of an out-dated model of thinking if you ask me. But then, it still happens today in mostly authoritarian states.

As far as Jammu & Kashmir is concerned, I think it is best to leave it the way it is. But then, you'd always expect some people to write down their views countering that It is part of their careers after all.
That's the problem with mainstream political parties in Bangladesh.
But considering the amount of money the present government is borrowing, and the inflation rates kicking in, I think the transit deal has to wait for a long time. But then, as long as the Congress Party remain, they'd have their sights on the transit no matter what.
And, what would that change of view be?
And how can you be so certain of this?
What has transit deal got to do with congress? wouldn't BJP be keen to sign a deal that benefits India?
or is it that Bjp being a bit right-wing'ish your parties have different view of them ?
much different then what senior indian members on pdf have of BD.
If they had any proof, they would have provided it before making such an accusation against a govt.
so i am seeing that indias have suddenly realized that its theirs country their rules-
well let me say my country my rules- you all can fcuk off this forum-
sounds reasonable isn't it?-
