I feel so sad at the truth of what is said here by Mr Sobhan. I am an Indian citizen who has lived in Bangladesh for several years - I have the highest regard for this beautiful resilient people from whom I have learnt a great deal. I love my country but I am pleading with Indian leaders and media to treat Bangladesh as a Sovereign state full of dignity that needs to be respected. This is the way we forge a positive relationship for the future. Bangladesh is full of intelligent, self respecting highly articulate people an example of which we see today in this interview. I hope this interview reaches the highest most reasonable minds in India
@@MH2024id If that's the case why Muslim Bengalis don't migrate from West Bengal to Bangladesh and hindu Bengalis are tortured and thrown out of their homelands in Bangladesh.Why hindu Bengalis have to come to India as refugees. Why Muslim Bangladeshis also migrate to India after asking for partition . Remember Muslim leage was born in Dhaka and not Karachi???
@@khanmamun1363Wrong Notion! India never tried to keep Bangladesh in his ' grip' ! Ido not know the knitty gritty of politics but I understand that India only show his concern on 2 issues- Bangladesh leaning towards China because it can be a security threat & illegal entry of Bangladeshi people every day in India. Every country will show concern on such matters. As far as showing disrespect towards Bangladeshi People, it goes two ways! On social media,all sorts of people are active for money & fame. Sensible people avoid them.
@anandasekhar7402 because those who are children of the soil - whether Bangladesh soil or Indian soil deserve to live in their own countries irrespective of religion. Mr Sobhan has pointed out that there have been atrocities against minorities in the immediate aftermath of this revolution...however the media spreads a wave of terror through exaggerating those numbers and people start fleeing to the borders. We employ many people from both faiths and they are all working together as brothers and sisters despite the current climate. A lot depends on weather the media fans the flames of hatred and suspicion or calms the fears of people.
Long story short, BD is reacting to Indian Govt's foreign policy and strategic approach towards BD, the fact that majority never voted in the last 15 years should be a message for all. India is a much bigger country, the biggest in the South Asia but how is India demonstrating that? Is it through domination , power and negative media? India definitely has bigger responsibility in maintaining stability in the region? Please show your empathy towards the innocent killing of our children who are students. All we saw coming from your press is questions about communal killing, which was indeed political. So many muslims were killed throughout which was totally ignored from your media do not leave the majority BD people very happy. Many children are still struggling in the hospitals. I strongly suggest you connect with the student leaders as well who can share their thoughts.
You need to get some education before you call yourself a student. Bangladesh has a population of more than 180 million. If a few thousand kids demonstrate unemployed behavior and take over streets, that doesn't mean majority didn't vote for sheikh haseena
@@db_0707 and you need to get off the sauce bro. If you had any knowledge of the Jan elections you'd know that unofficial exit polls conducted at great risk by various organisations showed the turnout was 10% or less. So nah, the majority didn't give a damn about the BAL govt.
@db_0707 Your comment illustrates perfectly why it is better to keep one's mouth shut and let people think that one is a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubts! Hasina was an India sponsored terrorist, dictator who will be judged by the Bangladeshi courts for her India sponsored murders, robbing the country and betrayal of Bangladeshi sovereignity! Hasina did not dare test her popularity at the polls!

@@markinboyPakistan uses the most advanced technoloy for making terrorist attacks in India. It lets it own people starve in poverty. According to official estimates there are 4 million beggars in Pakistan. Also there agents who send beggars abroad on sponsorship to Saudi Arabia, UAE etc and even to Japan. They arrange for the passport visa and tickets of the beggars. On their return the begging ammount is shared 50 - 50 between the agents and beggars. According to an official Pakistan govt estimate the total ammount involved in this begging industry is 4.2 billion dollars per year. It is a far bigger ammount than the entire Pakistani tourist industry earns. Also Pakistani foreign ministry has reported that of all of the beggars arrested world wide 90% are Pakistanis. Same might happen in BD.
Antipathy is an understatement for what I feel towards India right now. Hatred would be the correct word. I will never forgive them for orchestrating a BDR mutiny and killing 57 patriot army officers, thus weakening 2 of our forces: Army and BDR. I will not forgive India for killing 1000+ of our people at border. I will not forgive India for destroying our river system by building 30 dams on 54 shared rivers. Btw, I grew up in a very pro-India environment and used to love India in my childhood. But I can't like our oppressor any more
Yes India is your opressor( one who liberated you from genocide by Pak army and Tika Khan) and other countries like US , China , Pak are your friends. So ya enjoy your friendship.

Mr Zafar Sobhan very succinctly described the situation in Bangladesh, the state of current relations between India and Bangladesh, and how commissions and omissions on the part of our politicians, Amit Shah--the Home Minister calling them termites. Mamata Banerjee is also an obstacle in the conclusion of the agreed decision on sharing the Teesta waters that the UPA Govt couldn't sign because of being a minority Govt and the Modi Govt looking at the impact of the fortunes of the BJP in West Bengal, and even when the party will remain hoping for but not realising any win in the state. I agree wholeheartedly with his views on the commissions and omissions on the part of our politicians, Amit Shah--the Home Minister calling them termites have contributed to the lack of confidence in India of Bangladeshis. Mr Sobhan referred to Chief Justice and Vice President Mohammad Hidayatullah as his Granduncle, the uncle of his mother. Former Chief Justice and Vice President of India, Mohammad Hidayatullah also Acted as President for a month or so when the President of India died in situ, the Vice President resigned to contest the election for President, and the Chief Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah acted as the President in the interim.
Mamata is less evil in West Bengal than Congress and BJP leaders. India built 5 dams over teesta in Sikkim and diverted waters to other indian areas and 1/16th of the water reached near the Teesta Barrage. if shared, west Bengal will suffer a lot. First India has to dismantle all Hydro dams on Teesta and let the river flow as it was before the daming.

India, a large country purportedly 3rd largest economy sadly total lack of diplomacy and diplomats. Narratives by their diplomats to Bangladesh their ignorance is mind boggling . Last three decade the indian diplomats acted as if the bangladesh government is subservient to them. With this kind of diplomacy and quality of diplomat one wonders how would the bridge the gap in mutual relationship with any country leave aside Bangladesh. Riding a high horse.
India has built one power plant exclusively for Bangladesh. Because of India, electricity access of Bangladesh people have increased from 40% in 2015 to 80% in 2022. Best wishes to Bangladesh brother and sisters
India's problem has been that our foreign policy is a mirror of the domestic policy. This has been more so in the recent past. Our politicians don't realize that when they speak, most of the world is listening and inferring. And out EAM speaks more like muscular local politician than a diplomat. Net result is that we have no friends in our neighborhood. Granted we have issues with Pakistan and China, the least we can do is have good relations with Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh How hard can that be considering we have centuries old ethinic and cultural bonds with them. SAD
Your correct in claiming that your EAM does not speak like a Diplomat if anything Jaishanker keeps lecturing Europe as he continues with a chip on his shoulder about being Colonised. What he is in denial about is the millions of Indians who seek asylum in Christian West though India is the 5th largest economy.

Exactly. India try to treat neighbouring countries as one of states in India. Place family mafia puppet governments controlled from Delhi, divide every ethnic nation from Kashmir to Tamil based on spreading religious hate and then rule them.

Exactly. India is trying to use same formula on neighbouring countries as it does on dozens of ethnic nations 'states' in India. Place puppet family regions, divide all ethnicities by spreading religious hate and then rule them through Delhi. Creation of India is the biggest problem in South Asia.
Bangladesh has to come to terms with itself and build institutions to have a genuine secular and vibrant democracy. Khaleda Zia Govt and Jamat Islami have a visceral hate for India so it is natural for Indians to have a negative view about India. India cannot bow down to anyone. The responsibility lies on Bangladesh to a large extent and India will always support.
No, we can see the Islamist right-wing in Bangladesh continue to attack India, even falsely claiming dams were used to deliberately flood Bangladesh, which is an absolute lie.
Yesterday's Afghanistan is today's Pakistan and tomorrow's Bangladesh. Blaming India for your failure is nonsense. The radicalism cancer has infected Bangladesh, and it will go down in front of our eyes.

Sheikh Hasina was a brutal despot, I wish India rather than giving her a free hand reigned in her unprecedented level of Corruption and oppression of the general populace. People were jailed for a mere critical Facebook post. What Hasina Unleashed on the people of Bangladesh is beyond comprehension, extrajudicial killings enforced dissapearences, loot of public banks were everyday occurrences.

@@premrajk7159 Dear Mr. Raj, if you refer to news Articles of 2014, the then foreign secretary of India travelled to Dhaka and helped Hasina conduct Rigged elections. Since then, 2018 and 2024 rigged elections were done with Diplomatic cover of India. I didn't get to vote since 2008. It is a fact
“While Modi-Shah dual were having cordial relations with Hasina they continued to insult Bangladesh and its citizens, what a failed attempt to prove that India is our best friend! “-- a fair and balanced analysis.

Several reasons. A lot of them migrated to other countries because those countries have better & bigger economies + better quality of life (US, Europe, India, etc). Some of them changed religion. However what you fail to say is that the number of hindus in Bangladesh has increased since then. It is not the responsibility of others to make the Hindus breed. They're humans, not animals to breed & keep a constant population of.
Well said. And the USA opposed the Hasina government's death sentence on those genocidal individuals. Was that not US meddling in Bangladesh? Where is the Bangladeshi resentment on that issue?

His tanure in jail was completed during Hasina's time. He was then abducted without proper reason. I'm not advocating for any extrimist. But the way your media potraying the whole event, the ground reality isn’t nowhere near to that. Most of us heard his name from your media, it's nothing like he would take control of the country. Right wing party jamat's vote share won't cross 5-6% even today. Their best result in parliament was 17 out of 300 seats. But unfortunately your media intentionally discredit the whole movement & try to potray it as jamat vs hasina while excluding everything. Islamist vs Hasina may be a good propaganda for your countries internal politics but it isn’t what we witnessed here in reality.
Looks like Karan is invoking trouble between the countries at any cost.. to the point he is putting words into the mouth of the guest..Karan thrives at such things
Firstly, I would like to thank The Wire and Mr Karan Thapar for choosing its guest speaker wisely, it's how interviews should be done. Unfortunately, the mainstream Indian fails to do that, they question us with an agenda in mind. Mr Sobhan has a great point at the beginning of the video.
not just bangladesh but all other countries in the neighborhood, namely nepal, bhutan and even sri lanka feel a deep sense of antipathy to india's interfering in their internal affairs
I think Mr. Thapar didn't grill Mr. Sobhan regarding many points. He just tried to brush aside the real issues while outrightly denying the attacks on minorities which is real. 1. He was not asked why people from north east and west bengal, and any other part where refugees are settled (specially andaman) have such a low opinion about Bangladeshis (only bengali muslims). 2. Why should india trust jamaat when there have been instances of terrorist incidents, radicalism, wahabaism, hindu phobia, dream of gajba-e-hind at their behest right from partition. 3. He was not asked why BNP provided safe heaven to north east separatists in bangladesh when they were in power? 4. While some of minority attack is wrongly reported, he failed to identify that this really is happening, including temple vandalism, forcing the academicians from minority sect to resign forcefully. 5. He was not asked why an ordinary bengali Muslim bangkadeshi put religion over the "bengali identity"? 6. Can he deny why so many hardliners, known terrorist were released from prison under this Caretaker govt? These reasons are more than enough for india to feel jittery regarding recent developments in bangladesh. Looks like he has been appointed as an unofficial spokesperson for the caretaker Govt.
@@swagatabhaumik978 1.About refugee that was propaganda of india.Because of Muslim population increasing. That was your nations political strategy. 2.Jamaat was bad in your eyes.We didn’t see by indian eye.And every opposition of Awami League was bad.And they spread that propaganda in those years.And Awami League always tagged others as anti Bangladesh. 3.Ask your government why they give safe asylum to the separatist of Bangladesh hill tracks. 4.Bangladeshi minorities wasn’t attacked.Leaders of Awami League either he is Muslim or hindu both are attacked. But your media avoid the news of attack on Awami League Muslim leaders. Because your media and government want to play religious propaganda game with indian.It was a political attack not religious. 5. Teachers who worked as a awami spoke person was forced to resign.Not only hindu, number of Muslim teachers forced resign was higher. So,stop looking everything by the religious glasses. Come out of that,Look at that without propaganda.
@@itsbusiness4789 Your response is the issue. That's the reason why indians are suspicious regarding the real intent of the "so-called revolutionaries"..
India was complicit in the sense that it allowed Hasina to conduct voterless election. As a result public anger grew at Hasina and Modi govt. What it did actually ,it allowed Hasina to become autocrat ,and it allowed anti India sentiment to grow. In the long run both created havoc for Indian security in north eastern states which they least desired .It's disaster for Indian foreign policy under Jaishankar.

@@natarajb204A Huge number of the hindu population left Bangladesh just after partion. Many have went to India in 1971 never came back. Many left During the famine of 1974 and never returned. Now the decraese of Hindu population to 7% is mostly beacuse the Ratios of Muslim population have increased in Bangladesh.The birth rate among the Muslim community have been extremely higher compared to other ethnic minors. The percentage of Hindu nationals was 29% in 1947 which was around 1.22 cr. of total population(around 4.5 Cr according to 1950 consensus). Today the percentage is 7.95% which is approximately 1.40 cr of total population(17.2 cr total). In between this time Hindu population have grown by 12% overall in Bangladesh. It becomes easy to spread propaganda using percentage and hiding the real numbers. They easily manipulate people playing the percentage card which obviously will be lesser when the comparing number is higher even if there is growth. Go through any Indian publications, They will not give you the numbers. They will not even mention the high growth of other ethnic populations. They will just frustrate people with the percentage.

Ideally India should be seen as the best friend of Bangladesh due to the historical ties and what Indian govt did with the liberation struggle in 1971. The Indian govt must reflect as to why the Bangladeshi people have such negative sentiment despite those historical bond and support in those most critical moments in our history ? I am sure the Indian think tank and RAW can easily identify the root causes. Any amount of hatred or misconception can be ironed out, provided there is an acknowledgement and a sincere interest in addressing those issues with an open mind.

@@osmanershadfaiz5424 This is a small neighbour syndrome. They are always suspicious of their bigger neighbour and hold them responsible for their misfortune.

Mr. Tharoor is the face of true journalism. India is really lucky to have a great mind like Mr Tharor. He is so much objective and honest in his job is really impressive.
I had a lot of respect for Karan Thapar Ji. This interview has wiped it off. The Tribune editor is ranting against India. Assuming whatever he said is true. Don't Bangladeshi people distinguish between indian govt and indian people. They burnt India donated ambulances, burnt Indira Gandhi cultural centre. This may hurt indian sentiments. They r developing country. And burning ambulances doesn't help their nation. Let their govt clear electricity bills first before bitching about India. Whether they like it or not. They r surrounded by India. If they take panga with India. Their future is doomed. Indian leverage will speak in due course. Modi Ji govt is very composed and have not reacted to their Hindu butchering. They deserve Israel type of reaction. Not 1 mention of condemning these killings. 2. Justifying killing of Hindu minorities or talking cold language like a British and shrugging off saying " I don't deny such incidents" - if the Tribune editor family were kidnapped and raped and butchered. Then he will know the pain. Since he is British educated, rich. He doesn't understand pain of poor, minorities hindus. Til then, and comparing with India. Is a shame to Bangladeshi. 3. It is a true fact, millions of Bangladeshi r illegal immigrants in India and politicians like Mamta have used them as vote bank. Not to ignore Rohingya terrorist. 4. It's sad that 2500 indian soldiers gave their life for creation of Bangladesh. And what tribute r they getting. Bitching on India. Not to mention consistent militancy training and anti India activities. 5. If Bangladeshi want good relationship with India. They have to start on a positive note.
First, is there fraternity among them? Why Shias and sunnies kill each other in thousands and bomb the mosques even while prayers are on? Then how other faith followers can live as neighbors?

So nice people they are that the Hindu population declined to just 7 % from 49 % during partition in 1947. My family was uprooted from Narayangange district then ,our house was burnt like many other Hindu homes and it is now your turn. You are so hostile to India but want VISA . You do not pay for the electricity supplied by us but still want it for free. WE enjoy your begging . and wish you to go on.,
Timeline for recent floods tells exactly the unequal behaviour between the nation!!! Opening the Indian dams without warning and so drowning the people of Bangladesh does not bode well for relations!! Do not look at us through prism of minority!!! Was flood release some perverse solidarity with Hasina??😡😡
Millions of indians are themselves affected by floods this year,Assam-100+ dead, and tripura state-30+.and Dumbur dam releases water automatically above a threshold. Are you blaming india for your own geo-location vulnerability as well now?
For India the well-being of Bangladeshi citizens means the well-being of Bangladeshi Hindus only. But at the same time we don't give a damn about minorities in India.
"Respect" and "Antipathy" are not "one-way" streets. Shouldn't Bangladeshi's treat Indians with respect? There is a lot left to be desired. India, after all, is a Union of 20+ "Bangladesh"es, with more diversity within each state than within Bangladesh. Have we not demonstrated tolerance over a period of more than seven decades that few other countries have? We even have foreigners (Bangladeshis included) living in our midst. Nepalese come and go at will. I DO NOT accept the premise that Indians are intolerant or disrespectful. I reject it.
Fifty-three years had passed since 1971 but some Indians still rejoiced the breaking up of Pakistan, they may now have got the answer to their wishful thinking about Pakistan. 😊 Anyway, Long Live Bangladesh our brother country.
India till today couldn’t offer visa on arrival to the Bangladeshis when we lived thousands of years together not long ago. I don’t say this is friendship.
Dear Mr. Thapar , thanks for such beautiful and informative interview. Mr . Sobhan , you have really as they say nailed it. Bangladesh is a India locked country, We want to see India to appreciate root cause of this revolution as good neighbour, and cease to spew all the minority bashing vitriols.
Indian govt. are equally responsible for What we have been suffering from past decades under Hasina regime. Modi govt. blindly support dictator Hasina ignoring the interest of Bangladeshi people. Still now Indian govt. supporting ousted PM Hasina sheltering her in India. Mr. Karan I regularly watch your program. We Bangladeshi don't have any issue with indians but with Indian policy.
India should recognize its mistake and ramp up its own garments industry. It should never support other countries industry at the cost of India's industry. Sheik Hasina was never an Indian puppet. She balanced India, China and West for the economic success of Bangladesh. We are fans of her because she kept Islamic extremism in control. Let us wait and watch. We already had an episode with Maldives. We handled it.
@@ashitmukherjei7078it won't beat BD to be honest. I'm not taking side because i'm a Bangladeshi. The cheap labour & vast water source & port connectivity (all in a single hub, where in india it's required multiple state in india) will always keep bd ahead. Moreover the main buyer of our RMG sector is USA ( as long as there isn't too much turmoil it won't change) & EU. The production cost of RMG in Bangladesh is much lower comapre to india. India can look into raw materials supplying which it has vast opportunity.
The problem with Thapar is that he never advocates the Indian stand, but merely facilitates and even encourages anti-India rhetoric. The reason why Bangladeshis are called "infiltrators" in India is because they actually are just that -- over many decades. This point is never advanced by Thapar.
Bangladesh does not have capability to rule themselves.... that thing is very clear. Wherever there is Islamic rule, there is corruption, loss of freedom, unbridled violence, poverty and misery everywhere. Before 1971, Pakistanis committed untold atrocities on Bengalis, Now they are doing it themselves! What is the use of freedom, if You cannot maintain it....! This is sorry state of affairs. in Just 50 years of Independence, 29 coups, endless agitations and revolts, countless political murders... Is this a record to be proud of?
Despite all that and India's covert pogroms of destabilizing Bangladesh, we have survived as a nation with much more self respect and equality than India.

Why it is okay for you if the atrocities are by Hasina regime?
@@Ranjith_37by you i meant you in general. if you have seen the interviews given by the president of Hindu mahajot Mr Gobinda Chandra Pramanik, he clarifies everything how politics was used as a weapon since 1947 to dominate Hindus, make common muslims as fundamentalist, jamat as terrorist and Hasina as the only savior of Hindu people to the Indians and the world, solely for power. But Redmike and other journalists are on ground and i hope that they show the truth to the world. We also want justice for our Hindu people as they are our citizens having same rights, not because its a sensitive issue or they are minorities.
Example: As India has increased the export price of onion, imports from Pakistan, Egypt, China and Thailand have increased in Chittagong as an alternative. There is now some relief in the volatile onion market. The price has decreased by Tk 30 to Tk 40 per kg. Traders and consumers are relieved as alternative markets are created.

I am an Indian citizen who has lived in Bangladesh for several years - I have the highest regard for this beautiful resilient people from whom I have learnt a great deal. I love my country but I am pleading with Indian leaders and media to treat Bangladesh as a Sovereign state full of dignity that needs to be respected. This is the way we forge a positive relationship for the future. Bangladesh is full of intelligent, self respecting highly articulate people an example of which we see today in this interview.

On social media,all sorts of people are active for money & fame. Sensible people avoid them.
@anandasekhar7402 because those who are children of the soil - whether Bangladesh soil or Indian soil deserve to live in their own countries irrespective of religion. Mr Sobhan has pointed out that there have been atrocities against minorities in the immediate aftermath of this revolution...however the media spreads a wave of terror through exaggerating those numbers and people start fleeing to the borders. We employ many people from both faiths and they are all working together as brothers and sisters despite the current climate. A lot depends on weather the media fans the flames of hatred and suspicion or calms the fears of people.

Long story short, BD is reacting to Indian Govt's foreign policy and strategic approach towards BD, the fact that majority never voted in the last 15 years should be a message for all. India is a much bigger country, the biggest in the South Asia but how is India demonstrating that? Is it through domination , power and negative media? India definitely has bigger responsibility in maintaining stability in the region? Please show your empathy towards the innocent killing of our children who are students. All we saw coming from your press is questions about communal killing, which was indeed political. So many muslims were killed throughout which was totally ignored from your media do not leave the majority BD people very happy. Many children are still struggling in the hospitals. I strongly suggest you connect with the student leaders as well who can share their thoughts.

Mr Zafar Sobhan very succinctly described the situation in Bangladesh, the state of current relations between India and Bangladesh, and how commissions and omissions on the part of our politicians, Amit Shah--the Home Minister calling them termites.
Mamata Banerjee is also an obstacle in the conclusion of the agreed decision on sharing the Teesta waters that the UPA Govt couldn't sign because of being a minority Govt and the Modi Govt looking at the impact of the fortunes of the BJP in West Bengal, and even when the party will remain hoping for but not realising any win in the state.
I agree wholeheartedly with his views on the commissions and omissions on the part of our politicians, Amit Shah--the Home Minister calling them termites have contributed to the lack of confidence in India of Bangladeshis.
Mr Sobhan referred to Chief Justice and Vice President Mohammad Hidayatullah as his Granduncle, the uncle of his mother.
Former Chief Justice and Vice President of India, Mohammad Hidayatullah also Acted as President for a month or so when the President of India died in situ, the Vice President resigned to contest the election for President, and the Chief Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah acted as the President in the interim.
If 50 people take over your home and use every resource from your home ? What will you call them ? How big is your home by the way ?
Mamata is less evil in West Bengal than Congress and BJP leaders. India built 5 dams over teesta in Sikkim and diverted waters to other indian areas and 1/16th of the water reached near the Teesta Barrage. if shared, west Bengal will suffer a lot. First India has to dismantle all Hydro dams on Teesta and let the river flow as it was before the daming.

Several reasons. A lot of them migrated to other countries because those countries have better & bigger economies + better quality of life (US, Europe, India, etc). Some of them changed religion. However what you fail to say is that the number of hindus in Bangladesh has increased since then. It is not the responsibility of others to make the Hindus breed. They're humans, not animals to breed & keep a constant population of.
Well said. And the USA opposed the Hasina government's death sentence on those genocidal individuals. Was that not US meddling in Bangladesh? Where is the Bangladeshi resentment on that issue?
23% of Hindus was 9 million and now 9% of Hindus are 13 million. What is your point mate? How can there be genocide when numbers keep increasing?

Yes, antipathy is the correct word. This attitude of contempt for bangladeshis is evident with Indians all around, add to that, the border killings, sending muslims back, and the list goes on and on…

@@KromoO-z3h, I am not in India 🙏. But I do know there are plenty Indians in Bangladesh… but it’s impolite to ask other Indians to leave just because they’re Indians. That’s the difference between your country and mine. Who knows, maybe you work in Bangladesh?😃
I have recently visited India. I went to agra for a day trip. On that day trip, I wanted to visit mathura, the birthplace of sree krishna, but the temple authority didn't let me enter as soon as they saw my religion "Islam" on my passport. I talked with several members of the authority, and they still refused me due to my religion. I thought highly of India, I thought they were secure in heart.
i definitely agree with Zafar Sobhan he said the right situation in Bangladesh. India took dictator Hasina like american puppet(Afghan) Hamid karzai.
Ridiculous. Also, hasn't Bangladesh been ruled by dictators in the past?
Simple question to both of you.
Muslim population increased in India and Hindu population decreased in Bangladesh. This shows Hindu have existential crisis in Bangaladesh.
@@ishwarnathjha6319 coz Hindus in Bangladesh migrate to India for better opportunities. if Muslims in BD could migrate to India , they would do that too. But your modi only favours Hindus in Bangladesh migrating to India playing the victim card.
What a sad commentary on Indias brand. They are literally the benefactors of the country. But their intrinsic, backstabbing nature throughout their history has caught up with them.

The best way forward is to keep our country boundaries safe, secure and tight and treat them as how we view Pakistanis!
What about the terrorist released from the jails
His tanure in jail was completed during Hasina's time. He was then abducted without proper reason. I'm not advocating for any extrimist. But the way your media potraying the whole event, the ground reality isn’t nowhere near to that. Most of us heard his name from your media, it's nothing like he would take control of the country. Right wing party jamat's vote share won't cross 5-6% even today. Their best result in parliament was 17 out of 300 seats. But unfortunately your media intentionally discredit the whole movement & try to potray it as jamat vs hasina while excluding everything. Islamist vs Hasina may be a good propaganda for your countries internal politics but it isn’t what we witnessed here in reality.
Looks like Karan is invoking trouble between the countries at any cost.. to the point he is putting words into the mouth of the guest..Karan thrives at such things
Firstly, I would like to thank The Wire and Mr Karan Thapar for choosing its guest speaker wisely, it's how interviews should be done. Unfortunately, the mainstream Indian fails to do that, they question us with an agenda in mind. Mr Sobhan has a great point at the beginning of the video.
Fully agree
India’s main Stream Media is cat dog fight media
Advertising media for Modi Government
It is the view of Bangladeshis towards India (especially to BJP Govt., Indian bureaucracy, BSF), not towards general Indians.
India stand with Hasina not people of Bangladesh. So keep hasina and be happy.
@@beoriginal9363 haha
not just bangladesh but all other countries in the neighborhood, namely nepal, bhutan and even sri lanka feel a deep sense of antipathy to india's interfering in their internal affairs
That's a sweeping claim
I think Mr. Thapar didn't grill Mr. Sobhan regarding many points. He just tried to brush aside the real issues while outrightly denying the attacks on minorities which is real.
1. He was not asked why people from north east and west bengal, and any other part where refugees are settled (specially andaman) have such a low opinion about Bangladeshis (only bengali muslims).
2. Why should india trust jamaat when there have been instances of terrorist incidents, radicalism, wahabaism, hindu phobia, dream of gajba-e-hind at their behest right from partition.
3. He was not asked why BNP provided safe heaven to north east separatists in bangladesh when they were in power?
4. While some of minority attack is wrongly reported, he failed to identify that this really is happening, including temple vandalism, forcing the academicians from minority sect to resign forcefully.
5. He was not asked why an ordinary bengali Muslim bangkadeshi put religion over the "bengali identity"?
6. Can he deny why so many hardliners, known terrorist were released from prison under this Caretaker govt?
These reasons are more than enough for india to feel jittery regarding recent developments in bangladesh.
Looks like he has been appointed as an unofficial spokesperson for the caretaker Govt.
@@swagatabhaumik978 1.About refugee that was propaganda of india.Because of Muslim population increasing. That was your nations political strategy.
2.Jamaat was bad in your eyes.We didn’t see by indian eye.And every opposition of Awami League was bad.And they spread that propaganda in those years.And Awami League always tagged others as anti Bangladesh.
3.Ask your government why they give safe asylum to the separatist of Bangladesh hill tracks.
4.Bangladeshi minorities wasn’t attacked.Leaders of Awami League either he is Muslim or hindu both are attacked. But your media avoid the news of attack on Awami League Muslim leaders. Because your media and government want to play religious propaganda game with indian.It was a political attack not religious.
5. Teachers who worked as a awami spoke person was forced to resign.Not only hindu, number of Muslim teachers forced resign was higher. So,stop looking everything by the religious glasses.
Come out of that,Look at that without propaganda.
@@itsbusiness4789 Your response is the issue. That's the reason why indians are suspicious regarding the real intent of the "so-called revolutionaries"..
A democratically elected government in Bangladesh cannot be addressed as a dictator governance.
India was complicit in the sense that it allowed Hasina to conduct voterless election. As a result public anger grew at Hasina and Modi govt. What it did actually ,it allowed Hasina to become autocrat ,and it allowed anti India sentiment to grow. In the long run both created
havoc for Indian security in north eastern states which they least desired .It's disaster for Indian foreign policy under Jaishankar.

Bullshit. If india wants to be friends with us then they have to treat us right. How a sister nation should treat another sister nation. What happens inside is none of our business, like what happens inside Bangladesh should be none of indias concern.

Right now Bangladeshi feels exactly how India would feel if Bangladesh would give shelter to Dawood Ibrahim.
That's crazy. Comparing the two. Remember Hasina lost her father and so many of her family in that August 1975 massacre. That is very likely the reason she was wary of other elements in Bangladesh, particularly those associated with the Islamists and military.

@@natarajb204A Huge number of the hindu population left Bangladesh just after partion. Many have went to India in 1971 never came back. Many left During the famine of 1974 and never returned. Now the decraese of Hindu population to 7% is mostly beacuse the Ratios of Muslim population have increased in Bangladesh.The birth rate among the Muslim community have been extremely higher compared to other ethnic minors. The percentage of Hindu nationals was 29% in 1947 which was around 1.22 cr. of total population(around 4.5 Cr according to 1950 consensus). Today the percentage is 7.95% which is approximately 1.40 cr of total population(17.2 cr total). In between this time Hindu population have grown by 12% overall in Bangladesh. It becomes easy to spread propaganda using percentage and hiding the real numbers. They easily manipulate people playing the percentage card which obviously will be lesser when the comparing number is higher even if there is growth. Go through any Indian publications, They will not give you the numbers. They will not even mention the high growth of other ethnic populations. They will just frustrate people with the percentage.
@@natarajb204 it's only because of economic opportunity in India is More compared with Bangladesh you may do your research on this thanks.

Thank you Mr. Thapar😊
Ideally India should be seen as the best friend of Bangladesh due to the historical ties and what Indian govt did with the liberation struggle in 1971. The Indian govt must reflect as to why the Bangladeshi people have such negative sentiment despite those historical bond and support in those most critical moments in our history ? I am sure the Indian think tank and RAW can easily identify the root causes. Any amount of hatred or misconception can be ironed out, provided there is an acknowledgement and a sincere interest in addressing those issues with an open mind. This interview of Zafar Sobhan should open the door for such introspection and meaningful dialogue initiated by India being the eldest in the family and or the South Asia region !
@@osmanershadfaiz5424 This is a small neighbour syndrome. They are always suspicious of their bigger neighbour and hold them responsible for their misfortune. This is accentuated by religious differences. India has to deal with whatever govt is in power in Bangladesh. The alternative to Hasina is Zia and Jamaat both hostile to India. India can not interfere in internal matters of BD. It will now work with the new government
To establish Hasina as dictator, we believe & know India is liable for that.

Who would be liable for an Islamic group or the Bangladeshi military?
When a true and honest journalist speak that's how he talk. Thank for a wonderful interview.
Mr. Tharoor is the face of true journalism. India is really lucky to have a great mind like Mr Tharor. He is so much objective and honest in his job is really impressive.
I had a lot of respect for Karan Thapar Ji. This interview has wiped it off. The Tribune editor is ranting against India. Assuming whatever he said is true. Don't Bangladeshi people distinguish between indian govt and indian people. They burnt India donated ambulances, burnt Indira Gandhi cultural centre. This may hurt indian sentiments. They r developing country. And burning ambulances doesn't help their nation. Let their govt clear electricity bills first before bitching about India.
Whether they like it or not. They r surrounded by India. If they take panga with India. Their future is doomed. Indian leverage will speak in due course. Modi Ji govt is very composed and have not reacted to their Hindu butchering. They deserve Israel type of reaction. Not 1 mention of condemning these killings.
2. Justifying killing of Hindu minorities or talking cold language like a British and shrugging off saying " I don't deny such incidents" - if the Tribune editor family were kidnapped and raped and butchered. Then he will know the pain. Since he is British educated, rich. He doesn't understand pain of poor, minorities hindus. Til then, and comparing with India. Is a shame to Bangladeshi.
3. It is a true fact, millions of Bangladeshi r illegal immigrants in India and politicians like Mamta have used them as vote bank. Not to ignore Rohingya terrorist.
4. It's sad that 2500 indian soldiers gave their life for creation of Bangladesh. And what tribute r they getting. Bitching on India. Not to mention consistent militancy training and anti India activities.
5. If Bangladeshi want good relationship with India. They have to start on a positive note.
First, is there fraternity among them? Why Shias and sunnies kill each other in thousands and bomb the mosques even while prayers are on?
Then how other faith followers can live as neighbors?

India, after all, is a Union of 20+ "Bangladesh"es, with more diversity within each state than within Bangladesh.
Have we not demonstrated tolerance over a period of more than seven decades that few other countries have?
We even have foreigners (Bangladeshis included) living in our midst.
