Indian hegemonic designs against Bangladesh

Bangladeshi governments, right from Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to Fakharuddin Ahmad, though comprehend Indian designs, but could not take bold step to frustrate those designs. On the other hand, it is an irony that most of the Bangladeshi policymakers, politicians, intellectuals, bureaucrats, business magnets, etc., who directly and indirectly control the state crafts of Bangladesh have either become India's pawns to grab their self-interest, who give priority to their immediate gains instead of national interest and sovereignty.
Sadly, Indian Brahmanic policymakers, since pre-Palasy War era, sided with the then British East India Company and aligned to one principle till date to keep the Muslims of the subcontinent under their knee. Indian leadership who against their will, though conceded to the partition of the subcontinent that led to the emergence of a separate Muslim homeland named Pakistan in 1947, kept their dream alive to jeopardise Pakistan and unify the map of the British-administered India, what they term as 'Ramraj' or 'Awkhand Bharat'. Nehru through his writings and utterances repeatedly declared that the areas that comprised Pakistan, particularly East Pakistan (today's Bangladesh) and West Punjab (today's Punjab Province of Pakistan) would return to Indian fold immediately after the partition of the subcontinent.
To translate this dream into practice, Indian leaders, whether they are so- called secularists, or communists, or fundamentalists, or arch communalists, never set aside their dream of unifying the British-India and all the successive governments, right from Nehru to Manmohan Singh, worked and work to materialize that end into practice.To reach their goal the then Hindu-dominated Congress leadership prepared a secret blueprint of undoing the separate homeland. Indian government, its intelligence agencies and media, tried their best to provoke anti-West Pakistan sentiment in East Pakistan and fueled secessionist movement in the then East Pakistan that subsequently paved the way for Indian intervention inside Bangladesh.
India's subsequent ugly and cruel behaviour unfolded the fact that under the cover of liberating Bangladesh, Indian government assisted virtually to merge Bangladesh with India in course of time. It means Indian Army marched to Bangladesh not to leave it, but to remain stationed there for ever.
To make Bangladesh totally dependent on and subservient to India, Indian expansionists ruined Bangladesh’s education, culture, social value, economy, agriculture, industries. India designs to throw Bangladesh to such an awkward position so that it becomes dysfunctional and failed State so that Bangladeshis beg India to merge Bangladesh with India.The Bengali-speaking Hindus of West Bengal have already lost their language, identity and even prosperity. Other ethnic nations living under Indian domination in Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura, and Mizoram just on the other sides of Bangladesh’s border, now feel the bite of the mistake of their forefathers who trusting on the sweet assurances of the Indian leaders merged with India. They cannot get out of Indian claws and yokes despite their long armed struggle and shedding tears and bloods for six decades. Bangladeshi government and people should also get lessons from the sufferings of the India's minority religious communities, particularly the Muslims. In the Indian map of dreamy 'Awkhand Bharat' there is no existence of Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal and even Bhutan.
To deter and frustrate India's expansionist zeal and dream people living in neighboring countries of India should shun all types of internal debates and controversies to strengthen national unity.
Let us comprehend and face Indian game and keep us protected from her domination and subjugation and we should not allow others to become our mentors.
