Will India apologise to Bangladesh?
It took many years for the Australian government to apologise "for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders' children from their families, their communities and their country." We do not know when the Indian government will stop killing poor Bangladeshis, let alone apologise to us for its continuous disregard to our right to life. It seems that the Western powers will continue to turn a blind eye to India's injustice to Bangladeshis, as the country is their strategic partner in world politics.
We the Bangladeshis know very well that all the Western precepts of human rights are intended to promote their political interests and not to stop the pain and misery of people like us. As a result, we the poor of the world continue to suffer. What is most surprising is the silence of Bangladesh government and its intelligentsia about Indian atrocities to their fellow people.
