INDEPENDENT BANGLADESH: -
A DREAM OF BENGALI MUSLIMS,
BUT A COMPULSION FOR INDIA.

There is no big conspiracy theory but complex geopolitics
here. Splitting PAKISTAN into two, East, and West-- was a GEOPOLITICAL,AND MILITARY requirement.
May be some more splitting of Pakistan is essential.
- Eking
out of Bangladesh caused a massive territorial loss to Pakistan — hurting
both their power and ego. Within 3 days of defeat, the Pak President —
Gen. Yahya Khan — was fired from both Presidency and the military. In
fact, the military itself lost power to civilians due to the humiliating
surrender. The two countries have not fought a full war in the 50 years
since as no other Pakistani leader wanted to take such a personal risk of
losing a war against INDIA. BUT, WE HAVN’T USED THE SLACK TIME WELL.
- Prevented
India from having to fight Pakistan on two sides — Western and Eastern
fronts. A single front war is much easier.
- PREVENTED
PAKISTAN FROM HAVING ANY FOOTHOLD IN THE BAY OF BENGAL. THIS ALLOWS INDIA
TO KEEP ITS NAVAL AND NUCLEAR ASSETS FAR FROM ANY OF THE MAJOR RIVALS.
- It
prevented an AMERICAN NAVAL SET-UP at CHITTAGANG through friendly ally
PAKISTAN. INDIAN OCEAN REMAIN FREE OF AMERICAN INFLUENCE.
- Prevented
Pakistan from getting close to India’s chicken neck — a narrow sliver of
land connecting the mainland to the northeast India, through erstwhile
East Pakistan.
- In
place of an aggressive rival, we got a reasonably neutral friend in
Bangladesh. For all their complaining about cricket no-balls, they have
not done any major harm to India.
Pakistan screwing its Bengali citizens for too long,
creating a ROBUST internal uprising. People from EAST PAKISTAN was migrating to
INDIA for fear of LIFE, and it was a requirement for India to make the move and
close the deal.
There is no big secret on India wanting to dominate its
region. Every major power wants to do the same. In the mind of Indian leaders
and many Indians, India is not a weak entity but a strong athlete who is going
through a period of rehabilitation after an injury inflicted by BRITISHERS, and
properly not taken care of in the NEHRU REGIME.
Fortunately, at that critical juncture, we were having Mrs.
Indira Gandhi as P.M.—who dared to take a very strong political decision,
internationally, going against USA, & U.K. alliance, but achieved the goal with
open support from Russia, and may be TACIT HELP from ISRAEL.
However, there
always will be some radical elements in BANGLADESH to vandalize Pooja pandals.
Even there will be anti—Hindu riots. So far as they are not state-sponsored, we
shouldn’t antagonize Bangladesh government. But—we did have a role to play there—which we didn’t.
