Ahead of elections, Bangladesh Jamaat chief’s X post has backfired in a country where women outnumber men. Sadly, the debate may be happening a bit late in the day.
Violence that erupted in several parts of Bangladesh, including capital Dhaka, Thursday night after news of death of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi, refuses to subside.
New Delhi: Reacting to a special court’s order sentencing her to death for ‘crimes against humanity’, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Monday “wholly denied”...
University will offer privileges to spouses, children of gazetted individuals killed, injured during July uprising. In case of no spouses or children, benefits to be extended to siblings.
Statement released after unscheduled meeting of Bangladesh's advisory council in Dhaka Saturday to discuss possibility of national elections and judicial reforms.
National Citizens’ Party, floated by student leaders who led anti-Hasina stir, also aims to draft new constitution for Bangladesh. Hasina has accused its leaders of ‘taking power illegally’.
Nahid Islam was spokesperson of Students Against Discrimination which spearheaded movement that led to Hasina's ouster. He was I&B adviser to Yunus-led interim govt in Bangladesh.
The 100-page report says the former govt orchestrated brutal response to protests, using live ammunition & excessive force, with Hasina asking officials to ‘kill & hide protesters’ bodies’.
The funniest part about pig politicisation is that it is based on ignorance. Hindus and Christians can eat all the pork they want and keep pigs as pets—that does not bother Muslims.
India’s fast-growing data centre sector may strain state electricity networks; Central Electricity Authority has urged Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu to boost capacity.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
China living rent free in Mr. Chari’s head. This was a CIA/MI6 backed coup. NED backed Yunis has taken over. India, thinking itself a close US ally let it happen and was caught with its pants down.
Now Bangladesh will probably become another Pakistan and India will be surrounded on all sides by hostile countries. Both BNP and Jammat don’t like India and especially the BJP.
This will have minimal effects on China. They have plenty of influence over the Myanmar groups so any adverse effects to Chinese interests will be minimal. Bangladesh also needs Chinese investment so they will still remain friendly. India has very little influence in general. Northeast will definitely start heating up over the next few years with new insurgencies.
The last time India intervened in Sri Lanka, that did not end well. 2. South Asia policy needs a comprehensive review and reset. Difficult to think of a single country with which relations can be graded excellent. If we felt that way with Bangladesh before 5th August, that too was a fallacy. Close relations with a leader who was becoming increasingly autocratic and unpopular, drawing opprobrium to India as well. 3. Our neighbours desire enlarged economic engagement with China, in the form of trade, investment, infrastructure projects. That should not be regarded as unacceptable.
None of our neighbours like India. They don’t like us interfering in their countries. On one hand, we tell foreign countries not interfere in our affairs but on the other hand, we want to interfere in other countries.
Dear Seshadri Chari, The suggestion you offered is completely wrong and suicidal. India is full with internal problems. It neither has capacity nor the wherewithal to interfere in internal problems of Bangladesh. Let Bangladesh people decide what kind of governance they need. Learn from China. Even if it is very strong militarily and economically, it doesn’t interfere in internal affairs of another. Only USA, the most powerful does that, that too mostly under UN.
