History of Bangladesh

• Just now elections were concluded in Bangladesh and congratulations to Sheikh Hasina for winning another term.
• But I feel Indians have nothing to celebrate about this.
• Indians feeling happy and celebrating is like "Begani Shaadi mein Abdulla Diwana" meaning "Rejoicing at someone else's victory". It is pointless and meaningless bordering on crazy.
• I will share few links which will make the history of Bangladesh too apparent.

• After studying the above links, I can draw a few conclusions.
• Also I have read some earlier material regarding Bangladesh and if you go through the points I have mentioned below, you will realise that Indians have nothing to rejoice about who is in power in Bangladesh.
• When India was getting independence in 1947, Jinnah wanted Calcutta to be the capital of East Pakistan but due to reasons where your guess is as good as mine that was not to be.
• In 1948, India took over Kashmir and Pakistan objected and so the situation turned into a stalemate.
• In 1948 India invaded Hyderabad and annexed it.
• In 1950 China invaded Tibet and captured it.
• In 1959 Tibetan uprising was there which China crushed brutally.
• In 1961 Goa was invaded and India incorporated those territories into India.
• In 1962, China invaded India and captured Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh. And then China withdrew from Arunachal Pradesh.
• In 1965, Pakistan sensing India's weakness thought would capture Kashmir through Operation Gibraltar but they were beaten back.
• Since 1965, India and USSR came closer and closer when Lal Bahudur Shastri was suspiciously poisoned by the Soviets in Soviet territory (Tashkent).
• Indira Gandhi then worked closely with USSR to dismember Pakistan which was acting like a thorn in Soviet Union backside. Remember Soviet union stretched close to border of Afghanistan in its hey days (there was no Tajikistan, Uzbekistan etc)
• Pakistan had allied with US and had opened its territories for military intelligence against the Soviets.
• So USSR agency KGB worked in Indian and Soviet territories along with Indian authorities to dismember Pakistan. The supporting video proves it.
• They gave training to the Commandos etc and the think tank People behind Bangladesh or who were to lead the country to the future.

• We can know how Soviets or Communists ruled the territories surrounding Bangladesh for decades to come especially where there are Bengali speaking public namely West Bengal and Tripura.
• That would not have been possible if there was no Soviet involvement in the formation of Bangladesh.
• Now there was 1971 cyclone in Bangladesh which was mismanaged and then West Pakistan were not willing to hand over power to the Sheikh Mujibur Rehman from East Pakistan.
• Add to that there was more than a 1200 kms of Indian territory separating the two Pakistans.
• It is a logistical nightmare.
• Then India intervened and defeated Pakistan and West Pakistan soldiers surrendered.
• Subsequently Bangladesh formed and it dragged on.
• The event of Sheikh Mujibur Rehman assassination was a tragedy and that is the event which is affecting politcs even today.
• Sheikh Hasina is Sheikh Mujibur Rehman daughter who was at West Germany at the time of assassination.
• Subsequently she came to Delhi, India and waited for opportune time to return to Bangladesh her home country.
• Now who assasinated Sheikh Mujibur Rehman? Maybe it might not be known ever. Maybe it was the CIA. It is logical. Pakistan and US were allies and they lost Bangaldesh. India and USSR had ally in Sheikh Mujibur Rehman. So the CIA eliminated Sheikh Mijibur Rehman.
• Then there was General Zia Ur Rehman. His wife was Begum Khaleda Zia.
• As far as we Indians know there are only two leaders of Bangladesh Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina.
• And in 2018 Khaleda Zia has been sent to jail for 5 long years.
• When she emerges, her career would be effectively be over.
• Form Indian view, anyone in power in Bangladesh has to be friendly with India in particular and West in general.
• Else they will not survive.
• In the Cold War era things were different, there were two blocks led by USSR and USA.
• Now there is a general bloc, that of International nations.
• And since India is such a big fish in the Indian subcontinent area, Bangladesh has to subscribe to it.
• If we look at the "Hindu" article above given by link, we find out that BNP i.e. the party of Khaleda Zia was a force to reckon with till 2008.
• Now we have to assume that in 2008 elections were held perfectly in "free and fair conditions" as there was coup in 2007 and there must have been tremendous International scrutiny for 2008 elections.
• The BNP boycotted the elections in 2014 and now in 2018 elections they simply got wiped away, "faded from public memory".
• Now there might be allegations of vote rigging and so on. But my point is whoever was in power would have done it.
• Now the West and India will favour someone who will carry out their "dictates".
• They are hardly bothered about the Bangladeshi people.
• Any one party would have dominated those people one way or the other.
• Thus I will say it hardly matters to Indians whoseover is in power in Bangladesh.
• Nationalist Hindus like RSS will never achieve what they give out in posters and that of incorporation of entire Indian subcontinent as one unit.
• These hard core Hindus may want the land of Bangladesh but they are not interested in the people who are I read somewhere 99% Sunni and with one ethnic background.
• Now where will the people go from the lands.
• One can't carry out genocide against 150 million people without destroying the land and everything around it.
• Thus it hardly matters to Indians.

• Pakistan was dismembered by Soviet Union and India efforts in 1971 but Pakistan got its chance for sweet revenge against Soviets when it was staging area for Global Jihadis (Mujaheedin) during the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan.
• The result was Soviet Union got its own "Vietnam" and had to withdraw after losses and then due to global politics the Iron Curtain fell and Soviet Union collapsed and broke into 15 countries.
• Communism simply melted away resulting in an International community of nations like we see today. (Contrary to popular belief it is not Unipolar or Multipolar world but a community of nations who have to work together now)
• It may also be "Law of Karma" at work. What you give you get back in return with interest (very likely). So happened with Soviet Union and Pakistan.
• Also we have read reports that 3 million were killed in the Bangladesh War for Independence. I will say that it is false news, fake news.
• The actual casualties would have been far lesser maybe 1/10th or even less. 
• The 3 million is myth. Sheikh Mujibur Rehman must have told 3 million were "lost" and it is not the same as "died".
• Those who were "lost" became refugees and then citizens of India. Or were simply dislocated from one area to another.
• Also half of casualties or more perhaps would have come from the Freedom Fighters and Indian forces backed by Soviets who targeted the people who were "Unionists". No one talks about their human rights abuses.
• Also similarly 1 million women were raped is also very likely "false news".
• People indulging in "fooling around" cannot be termed as such.
• It is fake news to legitimize the Bangladeshi freedom struggle subsequent to the event.
• Like they say "history is written by winners". It should be "false history is written by the winners" as no one questions them subsequently.
