BD has about the same rate of consanguineous marriages as some states South India.

I don’t get beedis logic at all. Why do they think that India is at their mercy due to their geographical advantage of chickens neck? Do they really think we will abandon 6 Indian states and their population if beedis start squatting on this critical piece of Indian territory? If anything India will prosecute the war to the fullest and make sure they don’t have the werewithal nor the chance to repeat the misadventure.

I just don’t get their thinking, anyone with an ounce of rational thought should realise this?

the bangladeshi society has 2 very critical modes of thinking and 1 that is smaller but not inconsequential, these being: superiority complex, persecution complex and heavy dramatisation

any and every bd must display superiority and persecution simultaneously, that is the distinguishing mark of the bd, added that their society has a flair for drama, and you can begin seeing the world as the bd society does

so translating mdy's speech from english to bdese:

we have something that a powerful competitor wants

superiority - check

they will not have another way to access this in the future as (implied) those will also be settled with poor bds only eking out a living, working on lands that the locals do not want to occupy, and these bds will need protection of mother bd and external allies

persecution - check

chickens neck has slowly been settled by poor bd migrants, and they are now sons of soils, but the locals and indians who do not settle there will take their earnings and belongings in the future, now that we have made the land valuable

society - drama + persecution - check

every bd, and this is without exception, displays the first 2 complex in the same go, even the previous pm displayed this during the end with the new nation of us

now, americans are proper scheming devils, nobody denies that, but when faced with the choice of trusting a scheming us babu and the bd pm, i believe the opinion of many will be aligned with mine, it was a run off the mill colour revolution, there was no us plan of taking parts of bd to form a new nation, that was the usual bd retardation as above - which might also explain why none in the indian higher echelons / osint spoke about the matter - bd utterances are a mirage, charging them is as follied as tilting at windmills

the 3 points are highly crucial if one wants to look at the world as a bd does, for their vision is warped, chetak sir's other colorful adjectives for them later on are all true and valid, but they are not the root cause of their behavior

the interesting question is why are bd like this, this heady simultaneous combo of superiority + persecution is highly intriguing, what happened in history for them to turn out like this?

i only recall that when the english first started experiencing bengal, the kingdom of dacca already had separate courts for hindu bengali and muslim bengali, maybe the roots are from there, superior to have your own court system but also persecuted at the same time from regular court systems who cannot provide you justice because of your difference thus necessitating the separate court in the first place

BD has about the same rate of consanguineous marriages as some states South India.

National Family Health Survey-4 (2015-16)

So what is the rate for Bangladesh?

Whatever that rate is, the proper comparison will be with the rate in West Bengal, not the states in the South.

I would bet that the rate in West Bengal is almost entirely due to its Muslim population. I have not met or heard of any Hindu Bengali in a consanguinous marriage.

Going off on a tangent, I think of Tamils as very intelligent people. How come their high rate of consanguinous marriage has not produced the kind of retards that there are in Pakistan?

Shriman Kakkaji,


AFAIK, there are very specific rules that are followed, and what is permissible, matrimony wise and what is not, is strictly enforced by societal norms, where as, the jihadis are indiscriminate, haphazard, and unsystematic in their approach to the same relationships, leading to an uncontrolled preponderance of moronic abdools and ayeshas produced as a result of their matrimonial exertions and endeavours.

[chetak]

youanus is crapping bricks


IWT which has no expiry, suspension, or abrogation clause has been set aside unilaterally by India.


let's see which "mai ke lal" is going to get Modi ji to walk it back, unless stringent and specific conditions are met


But, OTOH, the Ganga water treaty with the beedis has a clear cut expiry clause. It is expiring in 2026


The Ganga water sharing treaty with Bangladesh completes 30 years in 2026 and it is (?) up for renewal or is it. OTOH, youanus and the entitled beedis will really find out what the term "big brother" really means


the beedis also wanted equitable distribution of teesta waters with India on the lines of Ganga Water Treaty of 1996, but nothing has materialised. The beedis didn't have a hope in hell of getting the numbers that they were/are demanding, even when hasina was in power.


So, what is youanus going to tell Modiji, that the "seven sisters" are still land locked, and at the tender mercies of the beedi king youanus, the sole guardian of the seas, the peerless potentate of the pond, and the mighty sovereign of the septic tank


India has a clear bead on the "chicken neck" of the beedis and she would be entirely justified in shutting down the waters flowing to them from India, the upper riparian state, (apart from apart from economic leverage via trade with India, access to nepal and bhutan, along with several other measures that can and will be imposed) should she perceive even the tiniest hint of any threat to her security emanating from beediland be it internal or external, or from any one of the BIF entities operating out of beedi badlands.


What will youanus do if India were to put down security issues (including illegal border crossings by beedis and rohingiyas) as one of the main and also unilateral deal breakers for any treaty signed by India with the beedis


Ship all bulk goods like grain etc only from kolkata sea port and that too exclusively on a CIF basis


"India locked" has just taken on a whole new meaning for greedy youanus and the ingrate beedis


BTW, any supply of (so called unlimited) hydro electric power from nepal and bhutan, via HT cables and towers, traversing Indian territory can very easily be tariffed suitably to recover the cost of using of Indian infrastructure


(their "chicken neck" could be called the "hilsa neck", just in case the intellectual beedis and the riksha pullers of dhaka prefer the use of a more culturally appropriate terminology)


We still continue to believe in "non reciprocity" in our foreign policy, especially when dealing with neighbours, but now "non reciprocity" has become a two way process, and IKG will not be resting in peace, going forward


India, as always, is ever accommodating of the smallest of wishes of its friendly neighbours

(a & b) The Governments of India and Bangladesh have decided to begin discussions on renewal of the Ganga Water Treaty signed in 1996, which is due to expire in 2026.

The discussions are yet to commence in this regard and no fresh agreement has been ratified between the two countries.

(c & d) There is no ‘Ganga-Teesta Water Treaty’ signed between India and Bangladesh. However, the Government of West Bengal was consulted by the Union Government in respect of renewal of the Ganga Water Treaty.

Its authorized representative took part in the inter-ministerial discussions held on the matter on 30 October 2023, 15 March 2024 and 31 May 2024, where our collective view was formulated.

Inputs on drinking water and industrial water requirements have also been received from the Government of West Bengal which have been taken into account while formulating our views.

youanus and the beedis are all well aware of the implications of India holding in abeyance the IWT


read the last line of kanwal sibal's tweet.





Additionally, much harsher measures are also required forthwith to neutralize pakistan-backed jihadists in bangladesh and compel islamofascist youanus to resign and handover power to the president.

i wonder if data can be stratified on the basis of religion. because these numbers except for some state like karnataka correlate with ROP population. Indian ROP population is 14% and so is the rate of consanguinous marriages

Providing support to the Arakan Army. Bangladesh gains by getting rid of their Rohingya problem as they will be settled in the Rakhine state, and the US gets rid of the Burmese Junta and moves closer to having a base near China and India . Aung San Suu Kyi should soon be at the head of the govt once the junta is defeated. She is after all a puppet of the west. Can India carve out more land and get access to the ports in parts which is dominated by the Chin tribe?
There seems to be some overt effort atleast from the Mizoram side, based on the report below.

The cognitive dissonance here is breath taking. What is the basis for even making such an assumption that India will simply let it happen, China or no China? India didn’t even let go off a few mountain tops, sits at great cost on Siachen - won’t it move the heavens to keep the north eastern states?

Is it hilsa fish or arsenic laced water that are consuming that causes this?

123 ‘pushed in’ from India

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) yesterday detained at least 123 individuals, including Rohingyas and Bangla-speaking individuals, after India pushed them into Bangladesh through Kurigram and Khagrachhari border points.

BGB currently has them in its custody and is verifying their identities. It has also issued a high alert along the border and lodged a strong protest note with Border Security Force (BSF) advising against such "push-in", said BGB Director General Maj Gen Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui.

Flag meetings with the BSF have also been called at various levels.

Math Question:
Lalmonirhat complex has about 40 building.
If it took the IAF 25 min to hit 9 targets in different locations in Pakistan over a 120 km range, how many seconds will it take to flatten Lalmonirhat complex?
Hint: Hashimara airbase (home of the Rafale) is about 100 km from Lalmonirhat. Rafale speed is 1,912 km/h.

The whole thing will be over before DoorKnob can even finish his question to the debate panel.

This thing is some AI generation? Doesnt look scientific to me. No taxiways, no free runway with an actual building at one side of the runway, in case of any accident, an aeroplane will actually crash into a building for sure, hangars or parking bays spread across everywhere making logistics and servicing a literal nightmare..... correct me if I am wrong please

It is likely to be a draft plan, probably one of several, for a purpose built drone facility.

they will "export" to cheen, pak and their customers probably in africa.

The beedis will be in charge of gardening, sanitation, house keeping and allied facilities, and catering, with a beedi beardo jernail heading each of these subdivisions

ISRO satellites will cover these areas completely

a turkey NGO is pushing for a greater bangladesh

[bala]

Col Ajay Raina is worried about BD. The window of time to deal with BD, taking out chicken neck siliguri corridor and also Chittagong port is closing quickly. The Chinese and AKhans have moved to secure their positions, which is a nightmare for India. DJT sometime ago gave Modiji full authority to take care of BD but we squandered the golden opportunity to deal with BD and YouAnus once and for all. BD is part of the string of pearls strategy to knaw away at India's uprise as a power center. Turkey is providing the masala via NGOs to cause maximum mayhem via jihadis. Wonder why India is waiting to strike decisively against BD. I might add that IG during 71 should have secured this stretch of land by not allowing any military to be raised in BD and she should adjusted the territory (siliguri, chittagong as Indian naval base) to suit India's needs.

Yunarch on the wooden horse of bangladesh going nowhere as big powers clash / gunners shot team

BD has effectively been cut of economically by India. There is concerted effort to send the BDs in India back home. China has finagled its way into BD due to YouAnus. He was propped up by the Dems of US. DJT does not care about him, in fact he want Modi to take care of this chap. The new interest the US has is to thwart China. For this, the US has moved into Cox bazaar in BD. Putting a naval base in St Martin island is not possible since it is rocky and only 8 sq km, a long narrow strip.The US wants access in Myanmar to take on China. China is mining rare earths in Myanmar next to Yunnan region.

BD has been threatening India with China building an airbase in around the area where Teesta river flows in the north of BD. But this is hugely flawed, since surrounding them would be stellar airbases of India and they will be boxed in if there was a tussle. China has to rethink its hook up with BD, since US is moving in aggressively. The BD Army is more pro US and YouAnus is prop China now. There is an internal struggle between YouAnus and the Army. BD Army has 10 divisions, 3 are stationed in chittagong area. Former PM Khaleda Zia is back in BD.

As a Bangladeshi, I request India not to lift the ban.

Yunus’s advisor, who abuses India every day and threatens to take over the Seven Sisters, is allowed to operate freely.

This jihadist government has unjustly imprisoned a Hindu monk without any crime.

Hardly a day goes by without Hindu girls being abducted and forcefully converted.

I urge India to take a much stricter stance against Jihadi Yunus

Bangladesh Army chief rejects Rakhine Corridor, demands December elections

Tensions have heightened between Bangladesh Army chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman and the Muhammad Yunus-led interim regime over the creation of Rakhine corridor to Myanmar, elections and law and order situation, among other issues.

Addressing a meeting of army officers in Dhaka on Wednesday, Gen Waqar rejected any notion of a "corridor" and declared it completely unacceptable, ET has learnt. It is understood that he expressed concerns about the interim regime making key decisions while keeping the armed forces in the dark. He firmly stated that the parliamentary elections must be held by this December and that only an elected government should determine the nation's course and not an unelected administration, it has been further learnt.

His strong views came in the backdrop of the move to ban the Awami League and India's decision to ban certain Bangladeshi exports to northeast India. During Wednesday's meeting, some of the officers emphasised that the 'Liberation war' legacy and national prestige were non-negotiable and must not be compromised under any circumstances. There are concerns within the army over efforts to undermine the legacy of Sheikh Mujib and the Liberation war.

.
.
While there is no imminent move by him to take over the reins of the nation, Bangladesh watchers do not rule out stringent steps by the army chief.
.
.
Hours after the strong message, interim regime NSA Khalilur Rahman, who was allegedly instrumental in pushing the proposal for the Rakhine corridor, went on the backfoot and claimed that Dhaka has not talked about any corridor. Rahman said he is on the same page as the army and the foreign ministry on the issue. It is widely believed that certain external powers have been influencing Rahman to create a corridor to weaken China and the junta. But the move would also adversely impact India's interests in the region.

Prothom Alo English on the news-item provided by @Mollick.R above:

Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman has said the next national election should be held by December. He noted that his stance on elections remains unchanged, and it is the right of an elected government to determine the country’s future course.

The army chief made the statement during an Officers’ Address programme in the Dhaka cantonment on Wednesday. Officers of different ranks stationed in Dhaka attended the programme in person, while many joined virtually.

Alongside the topic of elections, a range of current issues, including the humanitarian corridor, port operations, and national reforms, were discussed in the programme, according to multiple officers who were present there.

Corridor issue

Responding to a question about discussions on facilitating a humanitarian corridor to the Rakhine state in Myanmar, General Waker-Uz-Zaman said the decision on a humanitarian corridor should come from an elected government and must follow the due process. Here, national interest should be prioritised, and any action should safeguard the national interest. Whatever is done, it should be through a political consensus.

Mob violence

The army chief delivered a firm message against mob violence. He stated that the army is going to adopt a stricter stance over the law and order situation. Chaos or violence under the guise of united people will no longer be tolerated.

Chattogram port

Regarding the recent discussion on transferring operational control of the New Mooring Container Terminal (NCT) at Chattogram port to foreign entities, General Waker-Uz-Zaman said such a decision requires input from both the public and political leaders. It should be done by a political government.

Over the ongoing reforms, he said he has no idea about what reforms are being carried out or how, since these issues were not consulted with him.

He urged all to cooperate so that the people can celebrate the Eid-ul-Azha in a safe and joyful environment.

In his speech, General Waker-Uz-Zaman reaffirmed that the Bangladesh Army will never engage in any activities that could compromise national sovereignty. He instructed the army personnel at all levels to remain neutral and to carry out their electoral duties with honesty and integrity.

He concluded by thanking all army men for their service in the evolving situation, and said, “We are cooperating with the interim government, and will continue it.”

Bangladesh cancels $21 million order given to Indian defense shipyard

NEW DELHI: Amid the nose-dive in bilateral ties, Bangladesh has cancelled an order worth $21 million (around Rs 180 crore) inked with Kolkata-based defence shipyard Garden Reach Shipbuilding & Engineers (GRSE) last year for the construction of an 800-tonne advanced ocean-going tug.
The contract, which included design, construction and delivery of a 61-metre-long tug in 24 months, was the first major deal inked under the $500-million line of credit for defence purchases extended by New Delhi to Dhaka that was operationalised in 2023.
