People conflate India hating automatically with being Jamati.
But in reality many secular Bengali ethno nationalists hate India as much because of their interference in Bangladeshi internal affairs.
But Indians don't want to hear it, because it doesn't go with the narrative of crazy religious Mullah terrorists hating India.
There is no need to hate anyone. In international politics, there are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests.
India has not done anything that warrants unconditional hatred. We are neither at war with India nor do we have any territorial disputes with it. In fact, we owe India a degree of gratitude for its support during our struggle for independence and for helping us emerge as a sovereign nation.
However, there is undoubtedly a segment of society that seeks to fuel anti India sentiment through rhetoric about capturing the Seven Sisters, becoming the guardian of the Bay of Bengal, or marching toward Delhi. These anti state entities do this deliberately, hoping to provoke a reaction from India so that Bangladesh can be turned into a thorn in India's side to serve the interests of their foreign masters even if doing so risks turning Bangladesh into a war torn and economically failed state.
The point is that we need to get rid of this anti India mentality whose sole purpose is to push Bangladesh toward isolation and failure. We should maintain strong and constructive relationships with India, Pakistan, and China, as long as those relationships serve Bangladesh's interests.
We have already seen how much we depend on India, from obtaining affordable raw materials for our garment industry to importing many everyday consumer goods. Hostility and hatred toward our closest neighbor that surrounds BD on 3 sides does not not strengthen Bangladesh, rather that risks turning us into an economically deprived and isolated state.
