@Loki what would India do if one of its civilians or cargo gets into trouble in BD? Btw the corridor has been granted for free as per all the reports that r coming. WHat abt the complete take over of electricity sector by India ? S.Asia is no EU and EU doesn't have any India.
India is like Russia as to EU
Details about those are at best sketchy at the moment. I suspect that the security forces of Bangladesh are to be heavily upgraded further to meet regional security requirements.
This needs to work for the strategy in Bangladesh to sustain. The current regime has low support from the public, and they know it. Gaining support from Bangladeshis will take time.
Giving Bangladeshis access to cheap energy is just the tip of the iceberg.
India wouldn't allow anything that would endanger the ruling party. No ifs or buts. They have worked almost too hard to come this far.
Recently, the US is highly satisfied with Bangladesh's anti-terror drives.

So that gives us an idea of what's actually going on, and a hint to the future. This is something that our eastern neighbor still does not quite understand.
What evidence is there of that? I've heard too many tall tales to take people like him seriously. If you knew my me, you might think twice about calling me son too, but this is the internet and a lot of people claim a lot of things.
Evidenced, however, are his hateful views and general disrespect for our independence movement. He has a grudge against certain parties, no problem, but the man is asking for a JEI violent uprising in BD whilst sitting in Canada. If he is a true servant of the nation, he should never wish for the unnecessary spilling of blood in his land.
My apologies.
I have known him here for sometime. If you read his posts before, his knowledge of military history is quite vast, though he is often biased. It's either he has read a lot of books, or he has indeed served the army. And if memory serves, he served since the Pakistan days and he did fight during the Liberation War. There are freedom fighters within the ranks of the BNP too (i.e. the opposition), and not just the AL.
So considering all the above, that is a long time. Hence his title - That decision was none other than that of the management. They were impressed.
I also have trouble understanding his views. A man of his stature should understand that it takes immense amounts of resources, support and will to take up that kind of uprising. What's more, it's a two front war (i.e. India and Myanmar).
And make no mistake, the middle-easterners do not give a damn about this region, or Asia for that matter. They support whatever economically and socially benefits them as evidenced in their interactions with Pakistan. There's no such thing as the Ummah in their minds. The Ummah they propagate is as good as those Rolex watches we see on the streets of Bangkok.
The only favor I'd ask him is that if he is somehow to go underground with the Islamist forces, I'd urge him to not take gullible young minds. I believe that we Bangladeshis are far more than that despite our limitations as a nation.
