India-Bangladesh relationship
A. Shahadat, Rajshahi
India is the biggest country in South Asia and it has nuclear power. Its relations with the neighbouring countries, especially with Bangladesh, for the last 30 years, have not been up to the expectation due to reasons best known to the Indian authority. The people of Bangladesh always express their profound gratitude to India for their support and cooperation in providing shelter to about one crore of people in their land during the distressing days of the Liberation war. The existing relationship between the two countries is gradually deteriorating mainly due to the big brotherly attitude of India. Bangladesh whose territory is surrounded by India always tries to maintain a good relationship. On the contrary, India always intends to dominate this country almost in every possible respect. The freedom-loving people of Bangladesh find it very hard to be dominated by any other. India should remember that she is a big country and has some responsibilities towards smaller countries like Bangladesh. Mutual trust and respect will help to create confidence in both the Bangladeshi and Indian peoples.
