Why you guys always quote Indian source? why not independent source (this is off topic question)

What ever, it is not India business to discuss BD internal matters and use it for her benefits. Focus on India Bangladesh issues.
This kind of cooperation will continue and even increase in the future. These may not be welcome moves to you but that's your problem. Without Teesta deal our relation will eventually turn unfriendly. And when it does and if we have a bigger economy and a stronger military then, we will be in a position to stop the transits to your NE and isolate that place. We can also fuel insurgencies there. India already have enough unfriendly neighbours I thought. But if they want another one, they will get it. We want friendly relation with every nation. But it cannot be this one sided.
Thanks, you have pretty much clarified it. From now on, I think our govt. should revisit the policies of providing transit facilities and dealing with the Northeast insurgency issues, since these have been pretty much a one-sided trade where only Bangladesh has favored India but got nothing in return. In fact, from now on we should first ask for the implementation of our demands before giving any freebies to India. Let you deal with your issues and let us deal with ours.
And yes, under these circumstances, China is the way to go for us. Call it blackmail or anything, we are not getting anything from India anyway.
And obviously, our military will keep being modernized as per our needs
Ha ha ha
I think we have talibans, pseudo-talibans and talibans of all stripes well-covered. It may alarm people in other countries - but not here. We gave a lot of blood to preserve our language - and compared to that, dealing with extremists is chump change.
Ours is a very active country when it comes to dealing with extremists. We don't take three days to plan and deal with them. They are dealt with quickly as our para-commando forces are ready-to-go within hours with pre-tested and practiced contingency plans. Other military members here will know more about our three or more levels of paramilitary organizations who deal with terrorists/extremists. And we have more experience in this area too - so far.
And talking about proxy-wars, it can be fought on both sides as far as destabilization. Payback is a witch. Politicos in your country know well how pointless it is.
Very well. It was an interesting excercise in negotiations! So we have a stalemate. We would want you not to have military engagement with China, and you think these will continue. There will be no Teesta agreement if that is the position. Hopefully, however, it will not come to that because Sheikh Hasina is a friend of India and a brave leader who understands regional dynamics better than most.
We are discussing indo-Bangla issues here sunshine.

I wouldn't say India has done nothing for BD. Right now we are providing a $2 billion aid package for infrastructure development. And who knows how much more in other areas I don't keep track of. And don't forget the millions of Bangladeshis who live and work in India. That is not "nothing".
Having said that, a this is no reason for Bangladesh not to have economic engagement with China. That is obviously your own business and need. However, defence ties have a spillover effect you cannot deny, and if yours continue with China then it will strain relations between us.
Not really. In fact so fragile is Bangladesh's ability to deal with major threats that until the Gulshan attack in July last year, the government was in denial about ISIS radicalization in the country. Thankfully Jamaat has low support otherwise the government will crumble very quickly.
All of this does not make me happy at all. I seem more concerned than you about your own country. But then chauvinist nationalists are usually a country's worst enemies.
So what you want them to buy indian made weapons like tejas,arjun. not to be rude but india cant provide good equipment for their own military but India can provide frigates and submarines they produce good equipment in the field of naval equipment. but i belive any deal with india wont be viable to their military procurement policy they end to buy weapons which are a bang for the bucks such as Chinese equipment cheap but effective. whereas indian weaponry might be a little expensive. regarding russian equipment they are really expensive and with no credit options they might not procure them in large numbers now the thing is can any country provide good weapons but cheap to procure and with a credit line. india will not be able to provide good weaponry except naval while russia has good weaponry but is expensive and has no credit line. i think that the BD military will not change its procurement policy in such an event.
WahhhhhOkay let us assume for a minute that the Teesta issue is settled to the satisfaction of Bangladesh. What happens then? Will BD stop flirting with China?
I ask this because I genuinely do not understand whether Bangladesh is taking care of its interests through increasing ties with China or just sending a message?
Bro my question was simple and when you try to quote someone and you have dispute with him then commonsense suggest to use independent source and it become very handy tool to make someone believe, but normally Indian use Indian source only which is not good practice and it will become flammable statement and nothing elseJust because you don't want to believe it doesn't make it false.
Here's your "independent source".
The transboundary basin of the Teesta River covers 12,159 square kilometers of which 10,155 square kilometers is in India and 2,004 square kilometers is in Bangladesh.

Or better yet, here's a Pakistani source.

You are generously explaining while it's not needed. Half of people here are false flagger and other half Jamatis.
Majority of Bangladeshi people are minority of minority here.

That's your perception and i am free to make my own as per my knowledge due to meeting Bangladeshi people.No ... the proportion of all kinds of Bangladeshis here represents all most the same proportion that you will find across BD...
PDF is old now and all kinds of Bangladeshis know about this forum and are given the equal right to express...
by the way, how would India solve this issue if both BD and West Bengal were two Indian states...and the dispute was inter-state..
Well what I can say is...if China is interested then BD and China cooperation will only increase. I don't think it has anything to do with Teesta. As we can see Mr. Modi is open to Teesta deal despite Bangladesh buying Chinese subs. Mr. Modi is a capable administrator and understands situation better than people here I'd say. Maybe you guys should ask China to stop all kind of cooperation with BD. If you manage to put enough pressure then who knows...it might work.We are discussing indo-Bangla issues here sunshine.
