Bangladesh-India relations
When I see AL government making friendship with Indian counterpart I see a game between a shrewd player and an inept child. We could force India responding to our longstanding demand of proper share of water and resolving boarder and land dispute with our leverage of being in the geo-strategic position. It is not that we are weak as a nation. Our success in garment sectors, peace keeping in the troubled regions of the world and in health, agriculture and microfinance is widely recognised. We have proved our worth in other sectors but unfortunately politicians are continuing to fail us and bungling all our plans to build a self-respecting strong Bangladesh. Who does not want good relation with its neighbours? Our prophet Muhammad (sm) sent letters to the neighbouring empires, with a view to make peace with them by spreading Islam, by not compromising the interest of Mulsim Ummah and Islam. Everybody welcomes relationship with India on the basis of justice and equal status and interest. We may be small in area but not in our mentality. This mentality now reverberates among the public. The sooner the government reads public sentiment, the better.
