Transformation- Emergence of Bangladesh and Evolution of India-Bangladesh Ties | Book Discussion

India’s neighbourhood has always been accorded high priority in formulating foreign policy options, particularly in post-independent India. Since the birth of Bangladesh, the third largest neighbour in terms of population, India has engaged closely with Bangladesh. This book is about India-Bangladesh bilateral ties during the last half a century. The book traces the history of Bengal, the Partition and the birth of Bangladesh, as a new nation in the sub-continent. The book covers domestic developments in Bangladesh and its impact on bilateral ties. The book narrates Bangladesh’s domestic challenges like the political turmoil after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the leader who inspired the struggle for liberation, political intervention by the military, conflict between secularism and theocracy, the Chakma revolt and insurgency, communal tensions, sustaining democracy and the amazing economic recovery that Bangladesh has achieved from being one of the poorest nations at the time it was born. The narrative on bilateral ties has been brought up-to-date, including a discussion on vexed bilateral issues. PM Sheikh Hasina’s remarkable contribution bringing about a fundamental transformation in bilateral ties is discussed in the book. She has been prime minister for an unbroken fifteen years and having won the January 2024 election, will continue as PM for another 5-year term guiding Bangladesh’s future policies and ties with India.

How bangaladesh planning to address islamist issue prevalent in it's civil society.

[@v1234able]

How a non islamist population address hateful aayat of quran being propagated in madarsa spread across the bangaladesh ?

[@v1234able]

Why Hindu population is reduced in bangaladesh so drastically?

[@v1234able]

Why Indian diploment are surprised to see bangaladesh is reviving it's relation with Islamic republic of pakistan ? Both are Islamic country quite vocal about promoting islam world over as well as domestically. It's UMMA that drive both countries to work for common goal .

Amabasador said he is proficient in Arabic. Has he studied quran ? His excuse for islamist grabing land of hindus coz land is expensive and land grabber is politically connected " is too naive in age of Internet where in everyone has access to quran . There is concept of war booty in quran . And islamist practices it's religion in Islamic country . Grabbing kafir's land as well as woman is considered rahmat to Allah. Why these diplomat always hide actual reason of atrocity.

This is a terrible blight. As things are reforming in Saudi, we in Bangladesh hope to reign in all such anti social elements after Saudi delivers a workable model. Not sure if Hindus will survive until then. Can I make P2P communications with you?

[@v1234able]

@@utshooo could you please share copy of quran that you have studied . I will point out exact sura. How assessing Islamic society action based on Quran is considered terrible blight ? It is appricative that saudi arabia is working on a model but such model is not yet in public domain ? Could you please share any weblink if it is available to you? As a Hindu I am considered mushrik and I defently will scrutnize what is being claimed and what is being practised . It's about my survival!
