I believe the time will eventually come to call for a general boycott of Indian export goods in Bangladesh as well as halting Bangladeshi tourism to India.
@Mage maybe has a point, but it is not 100% of the solution.
Yes we can call for a general boycott that's true. But also we need to make available some better treatment opportunity in Bangladesh. Like I know about one eye disease and that's
keratokonus.(Please read this link to get an idea if you don't know about it. It's a very rare disease and few people in Bangladesh knows about it. I know it because I have a friend who is affected by this disease.)
Even few years ago the treatment of keratoconus was not available in Bangladesh. From intermediate stage to advance stage of keratokonus you need to wear
RGP contact lense ( glass or formal soft contact lense does not work in this disease, it's very slow progressive and you even don't notice until it goes to intermediate level when you glasses stop working) . 2000 in one eye patients can have this disease and the real cause of this disease is till unknown.
Hopefully from few years it's treatment is available in Bangladesh. Not only RGP contact lenses, but also a special types of RGP contact lense named
Rose -k is available now and doctors of Bangladesh are now prescribing it ( although they bring it directly from UK when patient need it).
So yes there could be other diseases too and Bangladesh need to establish it's medical services very good. So perhaps our people don't need to visit India for medical tourism.
And I believe that we can provide much better medical services if only we work sincerely. Govt should focus on it as top priority. As nothing is more valuable than human life.
But for general goods surely we can boycott Indian stuffs. But my question is, will really public have this mentality to boycott it? First we can start with Indian TV channels.
We should not just make it about us, we should convince folks in other Muslim countries like Indonesia, Turkey and even Iran at first (Half a billion consumers right there), then publicize what India is doing in Kashmir worldwide.
Yes of course this is a good point. But the case is how can we convince? But yes if we can convince that's a good sign.. We can't do it individualy atleast not practically, but as Muslim nation we can do it. But who will unite us? You see Muslims are scattered nation.
Probably you see the
love marriage between few of PDF Pakistani and PDF Indians. Both are too interested to bash Bangladesh with verbal abuse.
I think Muslims seriously need some.good leaders like Erdogan who can lead people to right direction. Allah knows best what is going to happen.
But yes if we really could be United, then we not only can cause then trouble but can regain our glory. But they have divide and rule tools! So we have to be very practical. And fortunately Bangladesh is acting practically now under AL govt.
Muslims should follow though with their dollars where their mouth is.
Yes agree, but why Iran is silent now? Because USA imposed ban on Iran and India is still buying their goods.
Arabs and Iran is arch enemy to each other's. If Arabs and Iran can be United, we can have a better future I think.
Shia sunni difference is artificial IMHO. But still such silly subjects are actually dividing Muslim ummah in a higher degree. And major powers are playing dirty role.
After world Wars Muslims lost ground. And I blame liberal Muslim rulers for it. If mughals didn't give British Empire too much opportunity, then this region wouldn't be like that brother.
I believe you know what I am trying to say. So let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst as
