Growing radicalisation of Bangladesh Army

[LeonBlack08]

Apart from these articles, what exactly is India doing to counter these developments? Is it pursuing coups within the Bangladeshi Army? Or does it plan to reinstall Hasina through engineering manoeuvres?

These articles and controlling media narrative is the first step. They did it last time BNP was in power. Called the then Khaleda Zia an Islamist government.

They have done the rest before. Prominent example being the so called BDR mutiny, which effectively killed nationalist Bangladeshi officers that India deemed to be threat. That eventually made Hasina's grip so strong that she stayed in power for 15 more years.

This is why we shouldn't take these Indian media propaganda campaigns lightly.

Guys none of this is surprising.

The simple answer is Bangladesh has to develop an action plan to address this in every domain.

I doubt India would ever "invade".

But they no doubt subvert and manipulate. (Honestly, it's no blame on them because it suits their interests)

Basically I agree it's Bangladesh's fault.

They need to grow some balls and abandon this friendship to all malice to none stupidity.

If you keep your house unguarded, chances are you are leaving all the options open for those with ill intention.

The best way is for Bangladesh to create a effective deterrent through defence and partnerships with major power like China to counter any misadventure.

It would be naive to call them first steps. These usually follow after foundational work has been carried out hence why I asked if we should expect communal riots in Bangladesh.

Exactly.

China and Turkiye mostly.

And buy some modern submarines to really irk them.

You better believe they have started work already.

These media pieces are just to build the public narrative.

Usually this type of media hype go hand in hand with concrete actions. India maybe in early stages of orchestrating a counter revolution in Bangladesh.

Yeah that's true but we really don't want to be involved in the crisis in Bangladesh that's about to unfold pretty soon
Once the board is set you can't do much about it ,pieces are going to move

In case of Bangladesh teh precedence is set you can get rid of the democratically elected government if you can find a revolution and get 10% of the population on the streets
No democratically elected govt is safe

They tried this in india ,even tried to change the outcome of elections but failed
Every seasonal protest failed ! Democracy is intact in our case

You need to counter hindutva extremists

You need to counter white extremists

You need to counter Zionists


The world is full.of extremism, you are not going to counter it with pussey ass liberalism

You need to embrace fire and brimstone, you need to become the Muslims, these animals will fear


Don't let your enemies GAS LIGHT you into being a pussey

Aren't you forgetting something?
There's one more type of extremist that they need to counter

 

[panzerfaust 3]

Bullseye! You are correct my friend. Bd policy makers are bunch of wuss. They lack the currage and vision needed to make bold and strategic decisions. I don't like their cowardice attitude.

Maybe they are trying to avoid a useless confrontation without any good reason ?
Or maybe india serves better as a regional partner than a rival

Interesting times in the Bay of Bengal.

India has no option but to get involved in BD. Like you said once the board is set, the pieces move on their own. Waste Bengal elections and the plan to have the seven sister states subjugated via demographic change remains India's best bet out of the quagmire.

Yes, Indian governments have survived protests and insurgencies but at what cost?

Not our problem especially for ToI. Let them be as radical or liberal as they can my only wish is they don't go delusional. We got no problem dealing with radical governments or military, say Taliban, pretty easy to deal with. IMO we should get folks from Deoband to do their "works" especially in Tablighi Jamaat, in BD if not they are doing it already. A lot of BD folks in Deoband seminary these days.

Technically - India already has the foundation in place. It never really went away with Hasina. Their loyalists are all hiding in every sector. Hasina had 15 years to plant Indian loyalists in every sector.

Some critical replacements have been made, but there are still far too many of them who can coordinate.

Extremely important for Tareq Zia to root out the moles if he doesn't want to end up ousted in a coup.

Positive sign is Tareq Zia appears to have backing of the military establishment. As long he has that, he is safe.

If you are getting technical, then India did not infiltrate any institution in BD, it literally created many of them.

Mr. Zia would be considered very lucky if he escapes the fate of his father.

Explain the logic - why would Bangladesh building its defensive capabilities automatically imply confrontation with India? Whatever we do to defend ourselves is none of India's business. Our building up defence is to prevent any misadventure from any of our neighbors. Purely defensive intent.

This very line of thinking has been institutionalized in Bangladeshi academia and media, that military build up is bad. This has been the case since independence. This is done every bit by design. Because a poor weak Bangladesh is advantageous for the Indian government to control.

Ehhh but

It's west not waste
We have no plans for subjugation of seven sisters ,but we can unfold a plan where every illegal immigrant will get the boot

If we had any plans like this we would have lost Nagaland already
Besides we have a positive view of the nagas as they are kind and fiercely loyal ,truth is that some of the best units of Indian army come from northeast

Yes, Indian governments have survived protests and insurgencies but at what cost?

There wasn't really a problem

Government never took the bait
There was no crackdown on protestors and CIA lost all the money they spent
