BSF's superiority complex
India is nearly 22 times larger than Bangladesh. India's population is also about 8 times greater than ours. Both economically and militarily, India is far stronger than Bangladesh. If India is a Brobdingnag, then Bangladesh is a Lilliputian!
This stark reality has perhaps developed a superiority complex in the minds of the Indian BSF members, who consider Bangladeshi citizens as lowly creatures. That is why we see them inflicting inhuman and barbaric torture on a Bangladeshi youth Habibur Rahman after tying his hands and feet and stripping off his clothes! Not only this, the psychos in BSF uniform took immense pleasure by videotaping the whole proceedings! A few months ago, the barbarous BSF men killed Felani, a tender-aged innocent girl whose dead body stuck to the barbed-wire fence and remained hanging for several hours! Was this little girl a threat to BSF? Nothing on earth can justify the shooting of this poor Bangladeshi girl.
So long as the BSF's despicable mindset is not changed, barbaric brutalities on the Bangladeshis will continue to happen across the border. Perhaps the best treatment for BSF's superiority complex is to boldly pursue the maxim, 'tit for tat'!
