>> In India Doctrine, the writer Mr. Munshi has tried to lay emphasis on

>> establishing hegemony in the region.
>>
>> Mr. Munshi through evidences, arguments and her practices has tried

>> India's objective the EU and the USA have also joined hands with her. The
>> USA has concluded a treaty for cooperation in the nuclear field with
>> India
>> although it (USA) propagates non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
>>
>> This nuclear agreement she did to contain the Chinese influence in
>> the
>> South Asian region. This is a direct threat to peace in the region.
>> Besides
>> the propaganda onslaught against Bangladesh and other countries here
>> through
>> some persons and media is on. The visit of Shaikh Hasina to India in 2003
>> and again in 2005, were of considerable significance. The 2007 election
>> was
>> also important for them since it was the desire of India that Awami
>> League
>> should come into power. The insurgency in Chittagong Hill Tracts was
>> creation of India. In brief India has been instrumental in destabilizing
>> situation in Bangladesh as well as in other countries of the South Asian
>> region like Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka etc.
>>
>> The book says India was partitioned in 1947 but India followed the
>> undeclared policy of re-unification or Akhand Bharat since then. The
>> skirmishes along the borders, the unabated killing of innocent civilians
>> of
>> Bangladesh, insurgencies in Nepal, Pakistan (Baluchistan) Sri Lanka are
>> pointer towards this.
>>
>> India does not believe in two nation theory since they consider that
>> there are other common cultural, ethnic grounds for forming a nation.
>> India
>> viewed emergence of Bangladesh as an independent state which negates the
>> division on the basis of religion.
>>
>> Nehru's ideology centred round non-partition of India or the Akhand
>> Bharat as detailed in his book, "The discovery of India" (1947). And this
>> policy has been followed subsequently even after partition in 1947.
>> Nehru/ruled from 1947 to 1964 and his successors were no different from
>> him.
>> The situation of Sikkim in 1973-75 was similar to that of Nepal's in
>> 2006.
>> In both cases the rulers were over thrown. The former became a
>> constituent
>> part of India while the latter (Nepal) began to be ruled by the persons

>> choice of India.
>>

>> and Secretary of State thought that India's help for the then East
>> Pakistanis in their struggle for liberation was purely motivated by
>> self-interest guided by the dream of claiming of all territories ruled by
>> the former British colonial power. J. N. Dixit, the vet-ran diplomat in
>> his
>> book, "Liberation and beyond", gives the impression that it was Pakistan
>> which wanted to break India and created condition in the former East
>> Pakistan to make a cause to attack India. This is an absurd proposition

>> there were sufficient reasons to believe that India instigated
>> insurgences
>> through JMB out-fit as the confessional statement of its deceased leader
>> proved. This was done to tarnish the image of Bangladesh as a terrorist
>> state.
>>
>> After liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, India started propaganda
>> offensive both within and out side India against Bangladesh. Noted left
>> leaning writers are on their pay rolls in Bangladesh. This is done to
>> materialize their goal of Akhand Bharat. Hence it is felt necessary that
>> against their propaganda offensive, RAW's clandestine activities, counter
>> offensive both through media measures and active intelligence
>> surveillance
>> are must.
>>
>> The book says that the six points became a great plea for going into
>> a
>> tougher movement. Had that been accepted, it was presumed that Pakistan
>> would not have broken and nor independent Bangladesh emerged in 1971.
>> After
>> 1971, India became more active to make the newly emerged state its part.
>> For
>> this she appointed Chittarangan Sutar as Shaikh Saheb's representative in
>> India. Sutar had direct access to Indian Prime Minister and other high
>> officials there. His plans however failed following assassination of
>> Shaikh
>> Saheb in August 1975.
>>
>> India entered into a 7 point agreement with the then Bangladesh
>> government in exile (located in Calcutta) which contained provisions like
>> no
>> standing army for Bangladesh, Joint forces for Bangladesh with the
>> command
>> lying with the Indian Army Chief, identical foreign policy etc. The
>> defeat
>> of Pakistani army and its surrender to the Indian General, (Sans
>> Bangladesh
>> Army Chief) and the terms having never been shown to Bangladesh,
>> apparently
>> spoke that virtually Bangladesh belonged to India since India won the war
>> with Pakistan and took its soldiers captive. The Mujib Bahini, the Rakhi
>> Bahini etc. were created to seek their assistance in consolidating the
>> Indian Government's authority in Bangladesh and also to use them when the
>> appropriate time had come as thought by India. Their authority was
>> further
>> strengthened by the 25 years treaty of friendship which also fortified
>> the 7
>> point agreement made by the government in exile. As said before the plan
>> of
>> subordinating Bangladesh failed following assassination of Shaikh Saheb.
>> India could have walked over but restrained itself for fear of
>> international
>> condemnation etc. It however continued its effort to destabilize it and
>> others by harboring insurgencies through RAW and other agencies in
>> Bangladesh, Sri Lanka Nepal and Pakistan. The insurgencies in Chittagong
>> Hill Tracts are worth mentioning.
>>
>> The book has been further enriched by the valuable contributions from
>> the eminent writers of both home and abroad. Professor Khodeja Begum in
>> her
>> article laid emphasis on the India's concept of Akhand Bharat or united
>> India quoting authentic references like the 7 point agreement made
>> between
>> Indian government and Bangladesh government in exile. She also quoted the
>> Ananda Bazar Patrika's observation following 1991 election. The Patrika
>> said
>> that the people in Bangladesh should raise their voice for merger with
>> India. Brig Gen (Retd) Shakhawat laid emphasis on geopolitical condition
>> of
>> Bangladesh and suggested for careful move for making relationship with
>> USA,
>> China and more importantly India.
>>
>> Other Nepalese and Sri Lanka writers have also blamed India for
>> inciting
>> insurgencies and instability in the neighboring countries. Maoists in
>> Nepal
>> and LTTE in Sri Lanka are the beneficiaries of the Indian government.
