Former Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee had ever said that you can choose a friend, but not your neighbor. This is a fact in the world of diplomacy that serves as a basic rule for foreign policies. Nowadays, as much as India’s eyes are on Pakistan and China, it is intermittently looking towards Bangladesh. The reason is clear that the Fiza of Bangladesh has changed. If said, he has taken a Uteron of 180 degrees. Sheikh Hasina’s government, considered in favor of India, has fallen and she himself has taken shelter in India. Right now, the interim government of Bangladesh, who is looking chaotic, is running the Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. The way he is seen to extend his hand towards China and Pakistan by ignoring the favorites of India on Bangladesh, it seems that an emotional poet will start writing the trends of infidelity.

If we look at the new trend of Bangladesh’s foreign policy, then there will be a diplomatic ‘Love Rectangal’ in front of which is elusive in its form. Muhammad Yunus went to China to extend the hand of friendship, from there, President Xi Jinping has been invited to invest in every region, which can harm India’s interests. At the same time, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister will visit Bangladesh this month. After 13 years, this will be a Dhaka visit of a Pakistan Foreign Minister. At the same time, sources are also being claimed that Muhammad Yunus is also trying hard to hold a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister of India.

The question is that Muhammad Yunus together is trying to help China-Pakistan and India, all three in favor of Bangladesh- what kind of illusion is this? Has Bangladesh go out to make China-Pakistan a jigger at the cost of India’s old friendship?

Bangladesh caught China by moving forward

Mohammad Yunus has chosen China for his first state visit. A top official of Bangladesh himself said that in this way Bangladesh is “sending a message”. Surely the message was for India. The message is that Dhaka’s relations with India are seen to be getting cold, India has reached the bottom of primary, Bangladesh has forgotten the elders of the old man and has left to make a new friend.

If Mohammad Yunus would only go to China and meet with Xi-Jinping and ask for financial help for Bangladesh, then the matter would have been different. They are showing their eyes directly to India, on which India has also responded.

Muhammad Yunus asked China to increase its economic influence in Bangladesh and mentioned that in this regard, the northeastern states of India being surrounded by land could prove to be an opportunity. Younus made this comment during a four -day visit to China and its video appeared on social media on Monday.

Yunus said, “Seven states in the eastern part of India are called seven sisters (Seven Sisters). They are areas surrounded by land from all around. He has no way to reach the sea. “Unus, describing Bangladesh as the” ocean “in the region, said that this could be a big opportunity and the Chinese economy can be expanded.

That is, by pointing to India, it was considered an investment from China. In turn, its geographical position was kept as an offer in India’s neighborhood. Bangladesh is not only forgetting the favor of India, but is also inviting his opponent to come to his land to give it a dent.

India has also responded in strong words of Yunus’s abolition. Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of PM Modi’s Economic Advisory Council, posted this video on ‘X’ and questioned why Yunus mentioned the northeast region of India. He said, “It is interesting that Yunus is making public appeal to the Chinese on the basis that seven states of India are surrounded by land. China is welcome to invest in Bangladesh, but what does it mean to be surrounded by land around seven states of India? ”

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has described it as objectionable and grossly condemnable. Remember that China is trying to pressurize the chicken net corridor that connects Mainland India to the northeastern states. Now Yunus is inviting China for investment close to this.

The statement made by md youngis of bangladesh so called interim government referring to the Seven Sister States of Northeast India as Landlocked and Positioning Bangladesh as his guardian ACESS, IS OCEAN ACESS, IS OCEAN ACESS, Strongly condemnable. This remark underscores the…

Bangladesh has also asked China to help in the management of its Teesta river. This river passes through both India and Bangladesh. The river first goes through India, due to which the government of Sheikh Hasina had sought direct cooperation from New Delhi on this matter, but the Yunus government wants Beijing’s interference in this matter.

Pakistan and Bangladesh- who took freedom by fighting, now the same is coming?

Pakistan was once struggling with stressful relations with Bangladesh. But for a decade, there is rapid diplomatic and economic progress between the two. And this fast is moving at a different speed after the coup. Bangladesh has relaxed visa restrictions, trade has increased, direct flights have started again and even there is talk of military cooperation between the two. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister is going to travel to Bangladesh on 22 April.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif spoke on telephone with Muhammad Yunus on Monday. During this time, they wished each other Eid-ul-Fitr and expressed their commitment to strengthen the relationship.

Bangladesh and Pakistan have come close since Sheikh Hasina’s coup, no one has any doubt. In January itself, four top officials of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI visited Dhaka. After this, a delegation of 4 members of the Bangladeshi Army also went to Islamabad. Yunus also met Pak PM Shahbaz in September and December 2024. In February, a Bangladeshi warship participated in a multinational naval exercise organized by Pakistan in the sea of ​​Karachi.

Pakistan-Bangladesh’s growing close close to India creates big strategic concerns for India. The only concern is that Pakistan will use Bangladesh as a base of anti -India activity. If there is an agreement on defense cooperation between the two, Pakistan can include a joint naval exercise in the Bay of Bengal. Bangladesh and Pakistan are looking to benefit each other- Dhaka wants to reduce its dependence on Delhi. At the same time, Islamabad wants to balance Delhi in the landlords of the region through Bangladesh.

Does Bangladesh still want India?

One thing is special that despite lifting all the anti -India stands, the new Bangladesh is also indicating that it will make every effort to hold India’s hand. On the sidelines of the BIMSTEC conference to be held in Bangkok, Bangladesh is being told about Yunus’s meeting with PM Modi. He is engaged in every effort regarding this meeting. However, no green signal has been received regarding any such meeting so far. It is also reported that Yusuf has been demanding a meeting with PM Modi for the last few months but this meeting has not been decided.

Here your question may be that Bangladesh is still dancing to India’s interests to bring China and Pakistan with them on one side, while he is also looking for a way of conversation with India- why are both of them talking together?

We asked the same question to Dr. Zakir Hussain, a former research of the Indian Council of World Affairs and Dr. Zakir Hussain, an expert of foreign policy. He said that Bangladesh does not have any subsidy in India. India is such a big market sitting in its neighborhood that it does not have the option to ignore India completely. But Bangladesh’s interim leader Yunus also knows that the public has raised his voice against Sheikh Hasina and has been counted. So the foreign policy of the new interim government should also be separated from Hasina. Since 1990, every small country has liberated its foreign policy and they try to help many players simultaneously. The same is with Bangladesh.
