@sumonkais A deal is always better than No Deal. Besides, this is the only alliance which got support from from China and US. So joining this will keep both China n US's at equal position. We need them both.

This is a sensible position for Bangladesh to take. There is no reason for PM Tarique to rush to India for a photo op if conditions are not right. PM Tarique and PM Modi can always meet on neutral ground in NY on the margins of UNGA. Reciprocal visits can follow at an appropriate time after necessary preparation.

The sense of urgency for a visit was clearly coming from New Delhi in the wake of PM Tarique’s visit to China. When FM Khalil visited New Delhi he repeatedly told his Indian interlocutors that Bangladesh wanted to take a slow and steady approach to resetting the relationship post-Hasina.

While India and Bangladesh have important issues to discuss, PM Tarique needs to build a domestic consensus prior to engagement with New Delhi on high stakes issues like water sharing. In the meantime, New Delhi should take seriously Dhaka’s concerns about wanted fugitives being given refuge in India.

@neta_ji_babu @ashoswai Non Sence. Purchasing is not "begging". In commerce suppliers beg to “buyers” to buy goods.

@narendramodi Pakistan also says so. We Bangladeshi people now realized its an Indian Victory, not Bangladesh's Bijoy Divosh.

Indians who are concerned about Bangladesh’s warming relationship with Pakistan need only look in the mirror and realize they have nobody to blame but themselves for the shifting regional geopolitics.

India’s original sin was to blindly support and enable Hasina’s autocratic and kleptocratic rule in exchange for favorable treatment on bilateral issues. It was inevitable that the people of Bangladesh would eventually rise up, leading to an anti-Indian backlash.

India could have minimized the damage post-Hasina by distancing themselves from her regime and embracing efforts to build Bangladesh 2.0. This is the approach China has successfully taken.

Instead, India doubled down by welcoming Hasina and her henchmen and providing them a platform to destabilize Bangladesh while unleashing an unrelenting disinformation campaign against the country and those who led the July Revolution. This March of Folly has directly led to the current nadir in relations.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has been adept in reaching out to Bangladesh and building a new relationship at all levels. The idea that 1971 would prove an insurmountable barrier to closer ties has been proven wrong. The new generation in particular appears interested in engaging with Pakistan.

No doubt India is planning a charm offensive after the February election to influence the next elected government. A big question will be how much popular support there will be in Bangladesh for a reset with India. Another impediment to closer ties will likely be India’s own domestic chauvinistic policies.
