The acid test
Bangladesh’s 11th parliamentary poll is not just an acid test for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. It is something India is closely watching.

India has good reason to worry over intensified Islamist militancy by the Taliban and other Pakistan-backed proxies who may not only jeopardise Indian interests in Afghanistan but turn their gaze on Kashmir. The Indian security establishment is bracing for heightened militancy in Kashmir in 2019.

In such a scenario, can India afford a fresh spell of intense militancy in the troubled northeast? The answer is no.

Hasina effect
Ethnic militancy has dropped in the northeast since 2009, after Sheikh Hasina came to power and ordered a tough crackdown on all northeastern guerrillas and ISI-backed Islamist militants who were operating from Bangladesh during the BNP-Jamaat regime (2001-06). The pro-talks faction of the ULFA and the Daimary faction of the NDFB are on the table because their leaders were nabbed and handed over to India on Hasina’s explicit orders.

The decimated rebel groups in Tripura and Meghalaya have also seemingly given up on armed struggle after the crackdown in Bangladesh.

Zero tolerance against terror
It is not easy for India to fight a two-front war against both Pakistan and China, it is also not easy to face a two-front insurgency. Hasina’s zero tolerance against terror and her determination not to allow her soil to be used by the ‘enemies of India’ is as crucial to contain, if not defeat, the insurgencies in northeast as it is to crush Islamist militancy in her own country.

Since ISI remains the chief patron of all these radical armed groups, denial of operational space to Pakistani intelligence in Bangladesh remains a strategic imperative for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as ‘kicking Pakistan out of the East’ was for Indira Gandhi in 1971.

I am guessing for politics and not her looks

If queen looks like this the world will be a very depressing place and I will loose the will to live. If that's the epitome of beauty, wander what's the ugliness is some one can enlighten the Indian paid Moran's.

Bigger question is why BD's elect her to power.

 

[Riyad]

Mainly because of her father Sheikh Mujib.

India had a special bond with her father . He was seen as the messiah for freeing India from two front enemy nation. He broke Pakistan in 1971 and built Bangladesh on Pakistan's Bengal province and destroyed Punjabi arrogance and humiliated Pakistan. So India always see her the blood carrier of the person who helped India immensely to win over Pakistan in 1971.

No doubt she would have won the election too even if there were no rigging.Presence of visible number of opposition member would have been helpful and beneficial for her and democracy.It could have help to bring transparency in govt affairs and policies.This authoritarian style would be detrimental for BD society at large.It should be a matter of serious concerns for BD peoples.Who ever advised her to win election by hook or by crook was actually not her friend but enemy.Most probably this could be so called all weather friend India and its agencies.They did not want to leave any leaf unturned to win the election.Day by day BD is transforming into a vessel state of India.India extracts around $50 billions directly or indirectly from BD every year.IND does not want to lose this golden sparrow at any cost.
But this Mukti bahni queen has lost the whole credibility and have no moral authority to rule.Count down has begun.Let us see how long she will stay in power.But her days are numbered already.

How did you come to this figure btw?

No we don't. Not even close...neither is it really an "extraction" given BD gets stuff in return (you pay money, and you get the goods and services in return for what you paid for).

A 50 billion extraction per year (a fifth of its production and even more earlier) would literally collapse BD quickly....and cause a violent conflict. A few percentage points of "extraction" are tolerable for most...if you look at how the British did it in the raj....when they exceeded it, famine and independence movements happened pretty quickly.

Day by day BD is transforming into a vessel state of India.

Brother the word is 'Vassal'. As in 'Vassal state'.

Our 'brother' is a girl, look at her username. Or unless he is a cross dresser or something.

More on point, quite annoying how many people keep calling a slave state a 'Vessel', in this forum.

"Vessel' is an item of general use, hence the confusion.

This word is dedicated to you guys.So it is your discretion.Use whatever you want vessel or vassal.By the way both suits well.where as vessel means boat(big one) is the election symbol of Mukti bahni(AL)
