- Bangladeshis feel "an antipathy" for India & they hold it "squarely responsible" for their suffering in the last decade; Hindus in Bangladesh are safer and more secure than Muslims in India: Editor, Dhaka Tribune, Zafar Sobhan
...........................................
In an interview where his comments about India will come as surprise to many and may be deemed offensive by some, the Editor of the Bangladeshi newspaper, the Dhaka Tribune, says Bangladeshis feel “an antipathy” for India and they hold the country “squarely responsible for everything they have suffered in the past decade of increasingly autocratic Awami League misrule”. Zafar Sobhan says that, as a result, India today is viewed in Bangladesh in very similar terms to the way America was viewed in Iran in 1979 when the Shah was overthrown and fled the country.
In a 30-minute interview to Karan Thapar for the Wire, Mr. Sobhan explained that the “antipathy” Bangladeshis feel for India is a direct result of their perception that Indians - particularly officialdom and ministers - look down upon Bangladeshis and are patronizing and condescending in their attitude to them. He specifically cited the Home Minister’s use of the word “termites” to describe Bangladeshis and the fact that Bangladeshis are commonly referred to in the media as “infiltrators”. He said: “Bangladeshis understand very well the low opinion that many if not most Indians harbour about us.”
I am only giving you the main points made in this connection by Mr. Sobhan. Please see the interview for greater details. He speaks about this at some length.
Explaining why Bangladeshis hold India “squarely responsible” for their suffering over the last decade, Mr. Sobhan says: “The reason is simple: everyone knows … that it was India who propped up and supported the Hasina regime, batting for it internationally, being the first to recognize its bogus elections, soft-pedalling its dictatorial nature and defending it and protecting it at every turn.”
Mr. Sobhan says: “It doesn’t help that more than three weeks after her ouster, India appears to still be supporting Hasina and the Awami League and that it hasn’t at all come to terms with the catastrophe of its Bangladesh policy.” He adds that if Sheikh Hasina is formally granted asylum in India it will have a negative impact in Bangladesh adding, however, that it will not be a “deal-breaker”.
Mr. Sobhan says: “India will need to re-build the trust and confidence of the Bangladeshi people from scratch.” However, he also adds that the door is by no means closed. He says: “We recognize that India is a burgeoning world power and that good relations with the two countries are not just desirable but in fact indispensable … we also understand that the ties that bind our two countries are far greater than that which divides us.”
Again, I am only giving you the main broad points. There is a substantial discussion about all these issues which you must see by watching the interview yourself.
Mr. Sobhan also spoke about the nature and character of the Monsoon Revolution that has dramatically changed Bangladesh. Here he said two or three important things.
First, “The movement that toppled Sheikh Hasina is not an Islamist revolution. The students at the forefront of the movement are … democrats and they wish to see a truly democratic Bangladesh.”
Second, he said “Hindus are not in danger” adding: “The notion that Hindus were the subject of some kind of pogrom and that their targeting and dispossession was in fact an integral prong of the revolution is a fiction.”
In fact, he made one specific point comparing the treatment of minorities in Bangladesh to the treatment of minorities in India. He said: “Minorities in Bangladesh are much safer and more secure than in, say, India, just to pick a random country by way of comparison.”
Again, you must see the interview to fully understand these points.

I feel so sad at the truth of what is said here by Mr Sobhan. I am an Indian citizen who has lived in Bangladesh for several years - I have the highest regard for this beautiful resilient people from whom I have learnt a great deal. I love my country but I am pleading with Indian leaders and media to treat Bangladesh as a Sovereign state full of dignity that needs to be respected. This is the way we forge a positive relationship for the future. Bangladesh is full of intelligent, self respecting highly articulate people an example of which we see today in this interview. I hope this interview reaches the highest most reasonable minds in India
….. you must realise that Bangladesh is no more in your (India’s) grip…!
@@MH2024id If that's the case why Muslim Bengalis don't migrate from West Bengal to Bangladesh and hindu Bengalis are tortured and thrown out of their homelands in Bangladesh.Why hindu Bengalis have to come to India as refugees. Why Muslim Bangladeshis also migrate to India after asking for partition . Remember Muslim leage was born in Dhaka and not Karachi???
@@khanmamun1363Wrong Notion! India never tried to keep Bangladesh in his ' grip' ! Ido not know the knitty gritty of politics but I understand that India only show his concern on 2 issues- Bangladesh leaning towards China because it can be a security threat & illegal entry of Bangladeshi people every day in India.
Every country will show concern on such matters.
As far as showing disrespect towards Bangladeshi People, it goes two ways!
On social media,all sorts of people are active for money & fame. Sensible people avoid them.
@anandasekhar7402 because those who are children of the soil - whether Bangladesh soil or Indian soil deserve to live in their own countries irrespective of religion. Mr Sobhan has pointed out that there have been atrocities against minorities in the immediate aftermath of this revolution...however the media spreads a wave of terror through exaggerating those numbers and people start fleeing to the borders. We employ many people from both faiths and they are all working together as brothers and sisters despite the current climate. A lot depends on weather the media fans the flames of hatred and suspicion or calms the fears of people.
Respect 🫡 from 🇧🇩 to 🇮🇳
A nice treatment
One neighbour to another
A positive future for both countries in terms of relationship
Long story short, BD is reacting to Indian Govt's foreign policy and strategic approach towards BD, the fact that majority never voted in the last 15 years should be a message for all. India is a much bigger country, the biggest in the South Asia but how is India demonstrating that? Is it through domination , power and negative media? India definitely has bigger responsibility in maintaining stability in the region? Please show your empathy towards the innocent killing of our children who are students. All we saw coming from your press is questions about communal killing, which was indeed political. So many muslims were killed throughout which was totally ignored from your media do not leave the majority BD people very happy. Many children are still struggling in the hospitals. I strongly suggest you connect with the student leaders as well who can share their thoughts.
You need to get some education before you call yourself a student. Bangladesh has a population of more than 180 million. If a few thousand kids demonstrate unemployed behavior and take over streets, that doesn't mean majority didn't vote for sheikh haseena
@@db_0707 and you need to get off the sauce bro. If you had any knowledge of the Jan elections you'd know that unofficial exit polls conducted at great risk by various organisations showed the turnout was 10% or less. So nah, the majority didn't give a damn about the BAL govt.
@db_0707 Your comment illustrates perfectly why it is better to keep one's mouth shut and let people think that one is a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubts! Hasina was an India sponsored terrorist, dictator who will be judged by the Bangladeshi courts for her India sponsored murders, robbing the country and betrayal of Bangladeshi sovereignity! Hasina did not dare test her popularity at the polls!

There are more mosques in india than all temples outside India combined
This is because there is no risk of Delhi's Jama Masjid being attacked. The special designation is to protect a significant structure from attack.
@@anshuecon The security in the Jame masjid is for an architectural significance. If India care about its mosque then 400 years old Babri mosque was never been demolished. This type of incidence only compared with the Bamian buddha demolition by Taleban, which never happened in Bangladesh.

Antipathy is an understatement for what I feel towards India right now. Hatred would be the correct word. I will never forgive them for orchestrating a BDR mutiny and killing 57 patriot army officers, thus weakening 2 of our forces: Army and BDR. I will not forgive India for killing 1000+ of our people at border. I will not forgive India for destroying our river system by building 30 dams on 54 shared rivers.

Majority in Bangladesh believe that there will be an alternative to take the country forward towards a sovereign, democratic, just and equitable soceity!!!
You are totally misinformed. CIA organised a coup to get rid of Hasina. CIA distributed rifles which the Pakistani army uses; most of the students and the police got killed by these bullets. Yunus is a CIA agent.

Yesterday's Afghanistan is today's Pakistan and tomorrow's Bangladesh. Blaming India for your failure is nonsense. The radicalism cancer has infected Bangladesh, and it will go down in front of our eyes.
Mr Zafar Sobhan very succinctly described the situation in Bangladesh, the state of current relations between India and Bangladesh, and how commissions and omissions on the part of our politicians, Amit Shah--the Home Minister calling them termites.
Mamata Banerjee is also an obstacle in the conclusion of the agreed decision on sharing the Teesta waters that the UPA Govt couldn't sign because of being a minority Govt and the Modi Govt looking at the impact of the fortunes of the BJP in West Bengal, and even when the party will remain hoping for but not realising any win in the state.
I agree wholeheartedly with his views on the commissions and omissions on the part of our politicians, Amit Shah--the Home Minister calling them termites have contributed to the lack of confidence in India of Bangladeshis.
Mr Sobhan referred to Chief Justice and Vice President Mohammad Hidayatullah as his Granduncle, the uncle of his mother.
Former Chief Justice and Vice President of India, Mohammad Hidayatullah also Acted as President for a month or so when the President of India died in situ, the Vice President resigned to contest the election for President, and the Chief Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah acted as the President in the interim.
If 50 people take over your home and use every resource from your home ? What will you call them ? How big is your home by the way ?
Mamata is less evil in West Bengal than Congress and BJP leaders. India built 5 dams over teesta in Sikkim and diverted waters to other indian areas and 1/16th of the water reached near the Teesta Barrage. if shared, west Bengal will suffer a lot. First India has to dismantle all Hydro dams on Teesta and let the river flow as it was before the daming.
Sir , actually we should declare Mohammad Yonous PM of India also so that there is no complaint from BD

India's problem has been that our foreign policy is a mirror of the domestic policy. This has been more so in the recent past. Our politicians don't realize that when they speak, most of the world is listening and inferring. And out EAM speaks more like muscular local politician than a diplomat. Net result is that we have no friends in our neighborhood. Granted we have issues with Pakistan and China, the least we can do is have good relations with Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh
How hard can that be considering we have centuries old ethinic and cultural bonds with them. SAD
Don't forget Maldives here! And Bhutan remains the only friend! That has got another dynamism.
Your correct in claiming that your EAM does not speak like a Diplomat if anything Jaishanker keeps lecturing Europe as he continues with a chip on his shoulder about being Colonised. What he is in denial about is the millions of Indians who seek asylum in Christian West though India is the 5th largest economy.

Exactly. India try to treat neighbouring countries as one of states in India. Place family mafia puppet governments controlled from Delhi, divide every ethnic nation from Kashmir to Tamil based on spreading religious hate and then rule them. India is the biggest currse on dozens of nations within India & also on South Asia.

Shobhan must explain reductions of 23% Hindus in 1947 to 8 % in 2024 in BD
Several reasons. A lot of them migrated to other countries because those countries have better & bigger economies + better quality of life (US, Europe, India, etc). Some of them changed religion. However what you fail to say is that the number of hindus in Bangladesh has increased since then. It is not the responsibility of others to make the Hindus breed. They're humans, not animals to breed & keep a constant population of.
Well said. And the USA opposed the Hasina government's death sentence on those genocidal individuals. Was that not US meddling in Bangladesh? Where is the Bangladeshi resentment on that issue?
23% of Hindus was 9 million and now 9% of Hindus are 13 million. What is your point mate? How can there be genocide when numbers keep increasing?

Yes, antipathy is the correct word. This attitude of contempt for bangladeshis is evident with Indians all around, add to that, the border killings, sending muslims back, and the list goes on and on…

❤ Thanks for this excellent interview with one of our senior Journalists Zafar Sobhan.
What about the terrorist released from the jails
His tanure in jail was completed during Hasina's time. He was then abducted without proper reason. I'm not advocating for any extrimist. But the way your media potraying the whole event, the ground reality isn’t nowhere near to that. Most of us heard his name from your media, it's nothing like he would take control of the country. Right wing party jamat's vote share won't cross 5-6% even today. Their best result in parliament was 17 out of 300 seats. But unfortunately your media intentionally discredit the whole movement & try to potray it as jamat vs hasina while excluding everything. Islamist vs Hasina may be a good propaganda for your countries internal politics but it isn’t what we witnessed here in reality.
I think Mr. Thapar didn't grill Mr. Sobhan regarding many points. He just tried to brush aside the real issues while outrightly denying the attacks on minorities which is real.
1. He was not asked why people from north east and west bengal, and any other part where refugees are settled (specially andaman) have such a low opinion about Bangladeshis (only bengali muslims).
2. Why should india trust jamaat when there have been instances of terrorist incidents, radicalism, wahabaism, hindu phobia, dream of gajba-e-hind at their behest right from partition.
3. He was not asked why BNP provided safe heaven to north east separatists in bangladesh when they were in power?
4. While some of minority attack is wrongly reported, he failed to identify that this really is happening, including temple vandalism, forcing the academicians from minority sect to resign forcefully.
5. He was not asked why an ordinary bengali Muslim bangkadeshi put religion over the "bengali identity"?
6. Can he deny why so many hardliners, known terrorist were released from prison under this Caretaker govt?
These reasons are more than enough for india to feel jittery regarding recent developments in bangladesh.
Looks like he has been appointed as an unofficial spokesperson for the caretaker Govt.
@@swagatabhaumik978 1.About refugee that was propaganda of india.Because of Muslim population increasing. That was your nations political strategy.
2.Jamaat was bad in your eyes.We didn’t see by indian eye.And every opposition of Awami League was bad.And they spread that propaganda in those years.And Awami League always tagged others as anti Bangladesh.
3.Ask your government why they give safe asylum to the separatist of Bangladesh hill tracks.
4.Bangladeshi minorities wasn’t attacked.Leaders of Awami League either he is Muslim or hindu both are attacked. But your media avoid the news of attack on Awami League Muslim leaders. Because your media and government want to play religious propaganda game with indian.It was a political attack not religious.
5. Teachers who worked as a awami spoke person was forced to resign.Not only hindu, number of Muslim teachers forced resign was higher. So,stop looking everything by the religious glasses.
Come out of that,Look at that without propaganda.

@@ishwarnathjha6319 coz Hindus in Bangladesh migrate to India for better opportunities. if Muslims in BD could migrate to India , they would do that too. But your modi only favours Hindus in Bangladesh migrating to India playing the victim card.

It is the view of Bangladeshis towards India (especially to BJP Govt., Indian bureaucracy, BSF), not towards general Indians.
Firstly, I would like to thank The Wire and Mr Karan Thapar for choosing its guest speaker wisely, it's how interviews should be done. Unfortunately, the mainstream Indian fails to do that, they question us with an agenda in mind. Mr Sobhan has a great point at the beginning of the video.

I want to understand why Hindus proportion are declining in Bangladesh & Muslim proportion is increasing in India. Request for unbiased opinions on this please
@@natarajb204A Huge number of the hindu population left Bangladesh just after partion. Many have went to India in 1971 never came back. Many left During the famine of 1974 and never returned. Now the decraese of Hindu population to 7% is mostly beacuse the Ratios of Muslim population have increased in Bangladesh.The birth rate among the Muslim community have been extremely higher compared to other ethnic minors. The percentage of Hindu nationals was 29% in 1947 which was around 1.22 cr. of total population(around 4.5 Cr according to 1950 consensus). Today the percentage is 7.95% which is approximately 1.40 cr of total population(17.2 cr total). In between this time Hindu population have grown by 12% overall in Bangladesh. It becomes easy to spread propaganda using percentage and hiding the real numbers. They easily manipulate people playing the percentage card which obviously will be lesser when the comparing number is higher even if there is growth. Go through any Indian publications, They will not give you the numbers. They will not even mention the high growth of other ethnic populations. They will just frustrate people with the percentage.
@@natarajb204 it's only because of economic opportunity in India is More compared with Bangladesh you may do your research on this thanks.
@@user-lc6zq1dy7vAnd not the massacres and forced migration
Not really. In 1971 the population was 9 million and 2024 it's 13 million. There is no decrease. Only decrease in percentages.
@@OfficialOffsideBall it should still be larger
Ideally India should be seen as the best friend of Bangladesh due to the historical ties and what Indian govt did with the liberation struggle in 1971. The Indian govt must reflect as to why the Bangladeshi people have such negative sentiment despite those historical bond and support in those most critical moments in our history ? I am sure the Indian think tank and RAW can easily identify the root causes. Any amount of hatred or misconception can be ironed out, provided there is an acknowledgement and a sincere interest in addressing those issues with an open mind. This interview of Zafar Sobhan should open the door for such introspection and meaningful dialogue initiated by India being the eldest in the family and or the South Asia region !
@@osmanershadfaiz5424 This is a small neighbour syndrome. They are always suspicious of their bigger neighbour and hold them responsible for their misfortune. This is accentuated by religious differences. India has to deal with whatever govt is in power in Bangladesh. The alternative to Hasina is Zia and Jamaat both hostile to India. India can not interfere in internal matters of BD. It will now work with the new government
I had a lot of respect for Karan Thapar Ji. This interview has wiped it off. The Tribune editor is ranting against India. Assuming whatever he said is true. Don't Bangladeshi people distinguish between indian govt and indian people. They burnt India donated ambulances, burnt Indira Gandhi cultural centre. This may hurt indian sentiments. They r developing country. And burning ambulances doesn't help their nation. Let their govt clear electricity bills first before bitching about India.
Whether they like it or not. They r surrounded by India. If they take panga with India. Their future is doomed. Indian leverage will speak in due course. Modi Ji govt is very composed and have not reacted to their Hindu butchering. They deserve Israel type of reaction. Not 1 mention of condemning these killings.
2. Justifying killing of Hindu minorities or talking cold language like a British and shrugging off saying " I don't deny such incidents" - if the Tribune editor family were kidnapped and raped and butchered. Then he will know the pain. Since he is British educated, rich. He doesn't understand pain of poor, minorities hindus. Til then, and comparing with India. Is a shame to Bangladeshi.
3. It is a true fact, millions of Bangladeshi r illegal immigrants in India and politicians like Mamta have used them as vote bank. Not to ignore Rohingya terrorist.
4. It's sad that 2500 indian soldiers gave their life for creation of Bangladesh. And what tribute r they getting. Bitching on India. Not to mention consistent militancy training and anti India activities.
5. If Bangladeshi want good relationship with India. They have to start on a positive note.
First, is there fraternity among them? Why Shias and sunnies kill each other in thousands and bomb the mosques even while prayers are on?
Then how other faith followers can live as neighbors?

Looks like Karan is invoking trouble between the countries at any cost.. to the point he is putting words into the mouth of the guest..Karan thrives at such things
Innocent people of Bangladesh know nothing of the intricate policy matters that India adopts , they are down to earth folks , warm hearted , and so benevolent people that whatever adversity they face is dumped upon by India. So nice people they are that the Hindu population declined to just 7 % from 49 % during partition in 1947. My family was uprooted from Narayangange district then ,our house was burnt like many other Hindu homes and it is now your turn. You are so hostile to India but want VISA .

@@mahamudalrabbi4774 his Temple guru told him while they were sharing a bottle with cow piss.
Right now Bangladeshi feels exactly how India would feel if Bangladesh would give shelter to Dawood Ibrahim.
That's crazy. Comparing the two. Remember Hasina lost her father and so many of her family in that August 1975 massacre. That is very likely the reason she was wary of other elements in Bangladesh, particularly those associated with the Islamists and military.
Good discussion. India will never change its attitude and deep level believe in Bangladesh in that direction. India definitely in the wrong direction.
not just bangladesh but all other countries in the neighborhood, namely nepal, bhutan and even sri lanka feel a deep sense of antipathy to india's interfering in their internal affairs
That's a sweeping claim
To establish Hasina as dictator, we believe & know India is liable for that.
What you'd want India to do? Do you guys want India to interfere in your internal affairs more?
Who would be liable for an Islamic group or the Bangladeshi military?
I have recently visited India. I went to agra for a day trip. On that day trip, I wanted to visit mathura, the birthplace of sree krishna, but the temple authority didn't let me enter as soon as they saw my religion "Islam" on my passport. I talked with several members of the authority, and they still refused me due to my religion. I thought highly of India, I thought they were secure in heart.
Bangladesh does not have capability to rule themselves.... that thing is very clear. Wherever there is Islamic rule, there is corruption, loss of freedom, unbridled violence, poverty and misery everywhere. Before 1971, Pakistanis committed untold atrocities on Bengalis, Now they are doing it themselves! What is the use of freedom, if You cannot maintain it....! This is sorry state of affairs. in Just 50 years of Independence, 29 coups, endless agitations and revolts, countless political murders... Is this a record to be proud of?

The problem with Thapar is that he never advocates the Indian stand, but merely facilitates and even encourages anti-India rhetoric. The reason why Bangladeshis are called "infiltrators" in India is because they actually are just that -- over many decades. This point is never advanced by Thapar.

Indian government does not defend their position after it. So, indian side telling blatant lie with their coveted motive. Which is matter of shame.
East Pakistan Returns, Karan can celebrate this momentous secular victory.
An immense sigh of relief after hearing the parting comments from Karan Thapar. He wrapped up the conversation well and that of course shows Zafar Sobhan was able to get through with most of the questions asked. More than antipathy it’s reached a point of ennui now that after so many interviews, write-ups, the Indians haven’t yet taken note on the fact that we are an independent sovereign nation, who were suppressed in practising our voting rights for the past fifteen years; even more importantly, they are safeguarding the friendship that the current Indian government, or for that matter, even the opposition there, has with one individual who is responsible for mass killings, murders, corruption, hegemony, arson, treason, attacks on minorities, disruption and chaos to set off the interim government, are points of discontent among Bangladeshis. Another point not too difficult for Bangladeshis to decipher is why the above stand to protect a dictator is so important to the Indian government. The fact that India has provided her shelter also reflects that it doesn’t echo the sentiments of millions of people of Bangladesh who, having no political background, took to the streets after the mass police shooting of our boys and girls.
India should foster its relationship with Bangladesh, the nation and its people by acknowledging the fact of the murders that were committed in broad daylight that have been encapsulated in video footages for all to see and that these killings of unarmed civilians committed by the police happened on the directive of S.H. Acknowledging this fact will gain it back it’s lost trust of Bangladeshis over India’s foreign policies. Going the way they are the Indian press and the Indian government, they gain our ennui as we move onto pray for our State to regain its institutions destroyed under the past regime.
As for Mr. Zafar Sobhan, Sir read up on the pograms that took place in India against the Muslim and Dalits, Kashmiris. The situation in Missouram, the lynching of the minority Muslims, Arundhati Roy’s books are a great place to start. You can then support your statements with greater conviction.
First, pl answer is there fraternity among the muslims?
Why Shias and sunnies kill each other in thousands and bomb the mosques, even while prayers are on?
Who is responsible for the murder of millions of hindus in Bangladesh since 1946 ?
