The weakest part of India is its chicken neck. Even in a limited war with India if Bangladesh can disrupt communications with India's North East then your countries in a sh*t load of trouble. There are 140 Muslims in Bangladesh how long do you think you can keep this population subdued during a war. Hell America cannot keep Afghanistan with its 20 million people quite even with superior fire power. What the world does not need is an arrogant and expansionist India. A simple equation.
You seem adamant in your assumption that Indian soldiers will occupy bangladesh like USA occupies Afghanistan. If Indian soldiers do not enter Bangladesh, how will Bangladeshis fight back?
Bangladesh does not have the resources to launch an offensive into India. I we station 400 000 soldiers in the northeast, and call up reserves, we'll have enough soldiers to guard over communication network. add to that a few artillery brigades and armoured divsions + a few hundred fighters and helicopters, and its enough to decimate the Bangladeshi army. Hell, our air force can keep bombing bangladeshi army personnel artillery, armour, military installments and communication centres, crippling bangladeshi army. if IAF starts bombing power grids, silos and dams in bangladesh, living conditions in bangladesh will be of 19th century standard. you wont even be able to login to the internet to bash india. bangladesh has no credible deterrent against the IAF.
the real threat bangladesh poses to india is if the whole poulation of bangladesh tries to storm into india at once. then, india will be in a lot of trouble.
SA - I = P
SA stands for South Asia. I for India and P is peace.
SA + C = Pr
C here stands for China and Pr means prosperity. India does not offer SA prosperity but conflict and instability.
Ok, using your same key + a few of my own:
i) SA - B = I + P
ii) SA - I = B - Pr
iii) SA + C = Pr
iv) (I - AB) + (B - MBI) = S(I + B) = Pr + P
where B stands for Bangladesh, AB for anti-bangladeshis, and S for solution. MBI stands for Mr.MBI munshi and people with similar attitudes and agendas.
i) If Bangladesh is gone, there will be peace in india's northeast, since those bloody Maoists wont have a place to run to, and will lose support and funds, and be crushed.
ii) If India is gone, Bangladesh will have a real hard time. Remember, despite animosity, India is a major trading partner for Bangladesh, and a lot of Bangladeshis work in India, legally or illegally.
iii) I agree with you on this one. Trade with China can bring prosperity. Sino-Indian trade is increasing at a rapid pace, and its benefiting both countries. Trade with china also helps bangladesh and Pak.
iv) The last one shows that if people like Mr. Munshi who advocate hate are removed from strategic thinking process, and from bangladeshi politics and anti-bangladeshi politicians are removed from indian politics, collaboration between india and bangladesh will result in a solution to our problems, and will result in better peace and prosperity for both.
As for the BSF soldiers that intruded into Bangladesh they were not killed in custody. They were killed in a straight fight. I do agree that BDR have been killed but always at a distance and unprovoked. In other words, the Indians behaved like cowards shooting their victims in the backs.
Come on Mr. Munshi, just listen to yourself. Your posts are not based on reason. Your already minimal credibility is eroding faster than top soil in monsoon.
so everytime a BDR soldiers kill BSF soldiers its bravery and close combat, but when BSF soldiers kills BDR soldiers, its cowardice and attacking from distance and shooting in their backs? Why cant you just accept that BDR soldiers also get killed in head on head gunfights? its not like BDR uses state of the art equipment and are trained to the level of US rangers.
Ok, here's a question i wanted to ask you for some time now. Do you even want india and bangladesh to get along well and be friends? Would you rather if india and bangladesh become close allies or if india ceases to exist?
