'We don’t maintain relations with India at the cost of country’s interest': Local government, rural development & cooperatives minister Md Tajul Islam

[HydraChess]

It is already doing that, that's why flood in Bangladesh ususally severe than it should be. India hold water at Farakka barrage during lean season and release water suddenly when flood situation in Bihar and West Bengal get deteriorated. Same thing also happen in case of Teesta river. These two are biggest rivers comes to Bangladesh from India aside from Brahmaputra. Others are much smaller river, most often the tributaries and branches of Ganges-Brahmaputra. So India already utiliizing it's River trump card against Bangladesh as much as it could. Nothing it can do more.

It can do it every season. It can build further dams to amplify this effect. It can do all of it at once.

Even your genocidal modi understands where belligerence will get him.

If India can play dirty so can Bangladesh. E.g. letting those tribals setup mukti bahini camps in Bangladesh again.

Or how about letting China setup a military base in Bangladesh?

Anyway, childish threats from an internet troll is of no consequence.

Actions of your genocidal Modi is what matters!

What will it get him? He can always call it an accident and get away with it.

Remember, if you go that path, India can do 100 times more simply because India has more resources at its disposal.

Or how about letting China setup a military base in Bangladesh?

You are totally free to do so. If your country survives the floods, lack of electricity etc. Remember, China is still way far away. Its the same reason India does not want to bring US military forces on Indian soil. Lastly, as you may know, China is not Bangladesh's personal army.

Actions of your genocidal Modi is what matters!

We have Sheik Hasina and her party, so don't worry, BD and India will get along just fine.

Your chest thumping about what India can do is hollow.

Come back when it actually plucks up the courage.

Modi cannot even stand up to a few ME dictators. Literally wetting his dhoti to please them!

It is unedifying and the RSS now have his number!

Do you think the Chinese, Russians or Yanks would have reacted like that?

 

[UKBengali]

Less than 10 percent of our electricity need comes from India. It would be suicidal for your Tripura state and a loss to West Bengal and Adani group if you block Electricity export to Bangladesh. While Bangladesh may experience some load shedding for a few days, but it can recover because there is a substantial number of idle power plants in Bangladesh and more power plants in pipe line expected to deliver electricity in coming years.

Hasina and Modi both are aware now that the power balance has been shifting towards BD over the last few years. I can see a day in the next 1-2 decades when BD can call itself a true equal of India with both able to inflict the same economic damage to each other.

If India blocks electricy exports and trade with Nepal/Bhutan then it would only be mainly hurting itself. BD has alternative supplies of energy from domestic sources and exports to Nepal/Bhutan only make up just 0.2% of it's total exports.

All that would happen is that India would have more problems in W Bengal and NE States and they would make Nepal/Bhutan hate them more.

It's not Bangladesh that it needs lol (even though it does).. it's what India doesn't need, a Bangladesh that's a complete Chinese ally when it comes to China's issues with India.



It would help, If you used your brain a little.

India is doing it every season if you don't know. In every season whenever flood situtation become bad in Bihar, it opens all the 109 gates of Farakka, and water rush into Bangladesh and causes flood.

No matter how many dams you build, Ganges provides only a certain amount of water. Most important question is why your govt. would build dams if it has no economic utility? Just to teach Bangladesh a lesson? Isn't it ridiculus? Farakka dams was built to provide water to Kolkata port during lean season to maintain it's navigibility by diverting water to Hugli river. It already causing problem in Bihar, flood situation in Bihar get much worse due to adverse effect of Farakka dam. Because dam causes siltation in upper riparian areas. Bihar chief Minister often urge to dismantle Farakka dam.

You can not build dam on brahmaputra river because there is no economic need of it and it will worsen flood situation in Assam which already experience major floods almost every year. Assam does not have enough agricultural land in need of water storage for dry season for irrigation. Daming Brahmaputra does not make any sense for Assam, rather it will be suicidal for them.

West Bengal and Sikkim already dammed Teesta river on dozens of places to produce hydro-electricity and uses for irrigation. They have already utilized that river to it's fullest. For this reason, Bangladesh get negligible water during dry season but experience flood during monsoon season. but we are coping and trying to build Teesta river barrage and dredging to hold water for lean season to use that for irrigation. Also trying to reach an agreement with Indian govt. for fair sharing of its water, but no avail so far. So, I do not know how can India create more pressure on Bangladesh by using rivers when it already doing that to it's fullest?

Aside from Teesta, daming other trans-boundary rivers, most of which are small tributaries and branches of Ganges-Brahmaputra does not have much effect. Neither it will be needed for India, nor it can harm Bangladesh. Who will be the stupid to dam small rivers in plain West Bengal or Assam good for nothing? If West Bengal or Assam needed to dam those trans-boundary rivers to get water for irrigation, then it would have done long ago just it has done to Teesta river. But they did not, which means there is no utility to dam rivers other than Teesta for West Bengal. For the sake of argument, suppose, India built hundreds of dam just to teach Bangladesh a lesson, so what? 90 percent of water flows through river during monsoon, when India can not hold water, it must release water towards Bangladesh unless your govt. want to turn West Bengal, Bihar and Assam into a vast inland sea. Bangladesh can hold water during monsoon and use them in dry season for irrigation by building several barrage projects. So it would be a futile exercise on part of India.

You are arguing just like a child for the sake of arguing without knowing anything about hydrological realities in this region.

That chap is a typical Indian keyboard warrior.

They usually threaten Pakistan with all kinds of destruction.

Lately they have started threatening BD as well.

However, we know what actual Indian warriors look like

As regards Teesta BD is best just going with the Chinese project for 1 billion US dollars. It will have a RoI of many dozens of times just this century. If it finally gets resolved with India then good, if not who would care after Chinese project.

Being fair you cannot blame the central government in Delhi for all the problems between India and BD like Teesta as unlike BD, India is not a centralized unitary state. Even Modi has to be careful when dealing with some state leaders and sometimes it is too risky for him to push an issue to please other countries like BD.

Yep! Cooperate with India when it offers but don’t ask for anything.

If you need to ask - ask the Chinese. Like asking them to build us a barrage, reservoirs etc to mitigate the affects of Farraka.

Don’t be afraid of India like Major Zia. Who was terrified that India would invade Bangladesh lol

Be wary but don’t be afraid!

Last time Bangladeshi Muslims lost a war was in 1757. Even that was due to a treacherous Mir Jafar!!!

Have you not noticed the amount of people that assume that Modi and Indian central government is all powerful like BD and all they need to do is flick their fingers and they can make something happen?

No, it is the most federated country on the planet and that as well as some pain, also brings advantages to BD.

In essence India's matrix of ethnicities, communalism and federal structure makes it a lot weaker than it's 8:1 economy and population advantage over BD suggests.

BD can absolutely in effect be just as powerful as India(apart from a direct military confrontation of course) when dealing in state to state relations with it.

The fact that Modi is having to individually apologise to each of the grotesque ME dictator - shows how weak Modi and India is!

Can you ever imagine China, Russia, USA ever grovelling like that??!!

Heck even Boris and Macron wouldn’t stoop that low!

Listen, the caste system has left you genetically weak. DNA evidence shows your gene pool hasn’t evolved for nearly 2000 years - due to strict separation along caste lines.

You couldn’t even rid your NE of tribal rebellion without cooperation from Bangladesh!

Pakistan still occupies half of Kashmir.

China gave you a beating…

And now your PM is grovelling to every Arab dictatorship.

Wankfesf may exercise your hand - but doesn’t do anything to build up your cojones!
