Deal Alochok:
Blaming India for each and evrything woo of Bangladesh
and doing nothing about to find an alternative for
Bangladesh would not work.
India has its domestic politics and fragile political
economy as well, vulnerable to economic and climatic
internalities and externalities. So, the best option
for Bangladesh is find an alternative, so that
Bangladesh does not remain vulnerable to political
whim or economic crisis of India.
Question is: has Dhaka pursued that path? Or least,
has Dhaka considered such an option?
Why blame India--after all, India must preserve its
interest, isn't it?
