The article alleges that India has continued aggressive actions along the Bangladesh border, including killings by Indian border guards and recent forced push-ins of Muslims from Indian territory into Bangladesh. It criticizes both past and present Bangladeshi governments for failing to respond strongly to such incidents, contrasting their reactions with Nepal’s firm stance in a similar case. The piece also references former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s remarks implying Indian involvement in a Bangladeshi activist’s killing, which Dhaka officials dismissed as internal Indian politics.

The commentary argues that India seeks to maintain dominance over Bangladesh’s politics and foreign policy, preferring Dhaka to align with Delhi’s strategic interests rather than build independent ties with the United States, China, or Turkey. It claims that India’s current policies reflect a Hindutva-driven agenda aiming to marginalize Muslims domestically and destabilize Bangladesh through demographic and political pressure.

The author concludes that Bangladesh’s sovereignty and democratic institutions remain under strain, urging unity between government and opposition forces to resist external interference and restore public trust in state institutions.
