Indian influence in South Asian capitals depleting

Indian influence in South Asian capitals depleting

N. P. Upadhyaya

Kathmandu: It is not only Nepal that has been thoroughly robbed and subjugated by the former British slave-the Indian regime but the country, Bangladesh which was created by India to penalize Pakistan too has similar stories about the Indian highhandedness in its political affairs and economic plunder.

Majority of the Bangladeshi nationals now love to hate the Indian regime which helped in its creation.

Delhi’s hatred in Dhaka is on an increase. So be it.

A B’desh scholar has this pain:

Zainal Abedin, a Bangladeshi scholar of global repute was heard telling his participants in an Islamabad sponsored Webinar, 2020, that the Indian spy agency RAW was creating terror in his Country-Bangladesh.

As per scholar Abedin, the entire politics of Bangladesh is being controlled by the Indian RAW agency and thus he urged the attending participants to form a coalition of some Muslim countries in South Asia, excluding India, to fight the RAW hazard.

Is this scholar hinting the then Indian High commissioner Reva Ganguly’s highhandedness in Bangla political affairs?

She could have penetrated expectedly as the Indian Ambassadors generally poke their nose in to the politics of the host country.

Bangladesh could not be an exception given the Indian habit of coercion and bullying.

Nepal is a classic case. The Indian Ambassador even selects Ministers in Nepal.

Perhaps annoyed by Reva Ganguly’s undiplomatic conducts, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reportedly rejected Indian envoy’s (Ganguly’s) repeated request for a courtesy call for six months or so.

PM Hasina perhaps wanted to send the signals that “she was not that happy with India”. 

Similarly, the new Indian Foreign Secretary Harsha Shringala flew to Dhaka in a Chartered flight last year.

To his utter dismay and unexpected humiliation, no one from the Dhaka foreign ministry came to the airport to receive him.

This was a great and appropriate message to the regional bully-India.

Interestingly around the same time, the Pakistani High Commissioner in Dhaka, Ahmed Siddiqui secretly was invited by A. K. Momen and the two held a long discussion on how to enhance the bilateral ties.

This meet signaled that Dhaka and Islamabad were saying good bye to their estranged ties of the “disturbed” past.

This meet too sent spine chilling waves in Delhi which persists even as of now hopefully.

Beijing enters Dhaka quietly:

Dhaka-Delhi rift was an opportune moment for Beijing to increase its influence in a country that basically was the creation of the Indian regime.

Dhaka and Beijing are comfortable with each these days other ignoring Delhi.

Thus Delhi went on losing in South Asian capitals except Kathmandu and Thimpu-the two more than a protectorate.

Kathmandu is apparently an extended territory of the Delhi regime; the Delhi rulers conclude so as the “borders” have been deliberately kept open for a “great grand design”.

The poor Indian nationals thus drain about 8 billion plus dollars annually from Nepal.

This is unfortunate. Thanks to the India serving Nepali leaders who still are revered by some “intellectuals” who perhaps prefer to forget how India has tamed the Nepali leaders since 2006.

If scholar Zainal were to be believed, then Modi variant of the RAW has completely taken up the charge of Bangladesh which needs to be arrested by the denizens of the country itself or else the country’s situation will be much similar to how Nepal is at the moment.

If Chouthaiwala-the Modi variant of the Bharatiya Janata party comes to Kathmandu, then some of Modi’s Delta and Lambada variants may have been visiting the country which had the distinction of being created by the South Asian hooligan-India in the early seventies.

Chouthaiwala is taken as a junior and less known political man in India, so claims Dr. B. R. Bhattarai, the lifelong India man.  

Strong rumors have it that the Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka houses the hordes of the RAW men who have spread their tentacles in the entire country-supposedly the satellite of India to which the Dhakaites have strong distaste.

The Bangladesh distaste for India:

Look how a Bangladeshi woman with academic back ground takes the neighboring Indian regime.

Nznn Ahmed says in her Twitter account: ” It is India who should forever be grateful to Bangladesh. India often claims and wishes that Bangladesh should be grateful to India mentioning its role during 1971 as if a favor was done to Bangladeshis. But, fact is India supported the Independence war of B’desh only because it wanted to break Pakistan, to weaken Pakistan. India never considers B’desh as a friend. India still believes the people of B’desh find themselves in natural proximity with Pakistan as majority of both country’s follows the same religion”.

She adds further saying how India robs the country in Billions and Billions in dollars.

She says, ” As of November 2019, a report says the total remittance inflow into India has reached $16.67 billion which was about $10.00 billion in 2017. Another point is that, those Indians have been working in high profile jobs in different establishments such as NGOs, Garments, Textiles, IT and sent money back home through “Hundi” transfer systems as they don’t have any permission from the B’desh government. India should be thankful that these illegal Indian workers are not warned or sent to jail by B’deshi governments.” 

In a fresh story from Dhaka reveals that he Indian Border Force killed two B’deshi youths and take away their bodies in a fresh firing incident, despite a repeated commitment from the Indian side not to use lethal weapons along border areas.

B’deshi Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal told Parliament in July last year that the Border Security Force (BSF) had killed a total of 294 B’deshi nationals in the last ten years.

This speaks why Bangladesh has hatred for India.

A young Dhaka University student takes pains to explain that he is not personally anti-India, but he can well “sympathize with the growing sentiments against the western neighbor-India.

For one, he says, “how can India expect gratitude from Bangladesh for helping during the liberation struggle, when everyone knows that it was in India’s interest to do so?”

The young Bengali has hit nail right on the head of India. And he is hundred percent correct.

To penalize Pakistan, the whole Pakistani landmass was split and thus Bangladesh took birth in the early seventies.

Categorically denying that Pakistan was helping fan the anti-India sentiment in his country, the university student avers that the rising anger against the “Hindu fascist” country was fanned by India’s own actions.

“After our independence, India has time and again treated us with condescension and disdain. India threatens to cut off our water sources. India has repeatedly accused of harboring anti-Indian rebels on B’deshi soil. Indian border forces regularly attack villages, rape B’deshi women. India accuses of flooding with illegal immigrants. And while mouthing platitudes about a free market, India denies the right to sell B’deshi products in India without tariffs. B’deshi national might be poor, but are Bengalis, we too have some self-respect,” the young University student thunders. (from internet sources: Ed).

The B’desh creation history:

As per the Guardian newspaper, the troubles began almost from the start. After intervening in the war, the Indian army did what armies do – they behaved like victorious soldiers. Pakistan did not surrender to Bangladesh – the treaty signed on December 16 1971 was between an Indian general and a Pakistani general.

Writes the Guardian dated August 14, 2007 that ” India has developed the peculiar paranoia of the strong towards the weak. Despite the low per-capita income of the average citizen, Bangladesh provides India with $1.5bn in trade every year. Yet India refuses to open its economic borders to Bangladesh”.

What the Guardian wrote in 2007, perhaps Indian attitude towards Bangladesh remains the same and thus the hatred against India is logical.

India will not change. Take it for granted.

India’s neighborhood first policy fails summarily. If Dhaka is not happy with Delhi, then just imagine how other SA capitals may have been feeling the Indian heat?

The hatred is real.

The Indian hatred in yet another South Asian nation has just begun.

This July the Maldivians came to their senses and have retaliated against India-the regional hegemon as much as they could.

The Maldivians hatred against India: 

Streets in Male reverberated with sounds like “Go back India…go back India… Go back India.

The hashtag “India Out” is still trending on Twitter in the Maldives as of July 26, the Maldives’ Independence Day, said international media sources.

Better late than never, the Island people came to their senses and noticed that the Indian nation was just a fraudulent country and that India was a rogue nation that must be kept at a comfortable distance.

Writes Balachanader Palanisamy for the Diplomat dated July 26, 2021 that one Maldivian national Ahmed Azaan who is the co-founder of Maldivian online news outlet Dhiyares, the “India Out” campaign is a call for the removal of the Indian military from the Maldives.

Azaan says further that “It is not a call to cut off diplomatic & trade relations with India”.

Azzan however demands that his country-the Maldives “should be able to forge ties with India without undermining our sovereignty.”

The Maldivians including Azzan opine that “India’s military presence in the Maldives is equivalent to what he takes as “a loss of the Maldivian sovereignty” which was unacceptable to the Maldivian population.

The hatred is so intense that Indian diplomats based in Male have hinted the government to provide them highest security so that they could save their lives.

Writes Neha Banka for the Indian Express dated July 20, 2021, the Indian High Commission in the Maldives sought the government action and greater security following what it called “recurring articles and social media posts attacking the dignity of the High Commission” and diplomats posted in the country.

Delhi this time felt the simmering discontent of the Maldivians from close quarters. However, this hatred in Maldives against India will not deter Delhi to continue with its coercive policy in Male like other South Asian capitals save Islamabad.

Needless to say, the President of the Maldives is Ibrahim Mohamed Solih is taken as the political shadow of Prime Minister Modi. The rest you conclude yourself.

President Solih reportedly is no less than our own KP Oli, SB. Deuba, Prachanda and the highly presumed Christian world Chief in Nepal Mr. Madhav Kumar Nepal who supposedly has in the recent days formed a new political party of India’s choice in India tamed Nepal.

Is it true or a design to malign Mr. Nepal?

And now Pakistan: Pakistan is the declared enemy of India and vice versa.

Which country better knows India else than Pakistan?

Who else could explain better the highs and lows in India-Pakistan relations other than Abdul Basit whose book the “Hostility” contains his memoirs of his stay in Delhi from 2014 to 2017 as Pakistan High Commissioner in Delhi.

India suddenly turned to an Islamophobic country after the ascendance of Narender Modi as India’s Prime Minister.

This in itself is sufficient to add to the hatred of the Pakistanis towards the Indian regime which is basically run by the Hindutva gang of Four comprising Modi, Sah, Doval and Shanker.

Though of late Pakistan too has become anti-Hindu as in the recent days, some erratic Pakistani nationals have vandalized a Lord Krishna Temple which deserves deep condemnation from a majority Hindu Nepal.

PM Imran Khan has failed to tame the erratic anti-Hindus in his country.

The regular attack on Hindu deities in Pakistan exemplifies that the “tolerance level” in Pakistani society has gone down in a surprising manner which needs to be arrested.

The two country (India and Pakistan) being at War many a times in the past, so this is one of the prime reason that both hate each other to the hilt.

However, at the people to people level, both Pakistanis and the Indians are comfortable with each other.

All in all, India’s neighborhood first policy abjectly fails in South Asia due to its own continued erratic behavior. That’s all.
