After reading this report in Times Of India, where the reporter pitied the condition of cyclone hit Bangladesh and rebuked India for assisting the country with a paltry sum of 1 million rupees, I felt that the reporter went overboard in her reaction. How? Well, when after a few days the Indian ethnic minority staged a revolt in Malaysia for equal rights, there was no such hue and cry raised from the same reporter! Sadly she did not empathize with the sorrowful condition of “Indians” in a foreign country. Her concern for Bangladesh was no doubt praiseworthy but what about our own flesh and blood that is suffering tremendously due to racial discrimination in a foreign land? Bangladesh might have been making efforts now to improve its relation with India; the efforts are still half hearted. Consider the following points:
1.Bangladesh Government has turned a deaf ear on India’s concern over the alleged free run provided to terrorists who launch offensives against us.
2.Illegal immigration from Bangladesh account for more than 10 million now in India. Nothing substantive has been done.
3.ISI agents infiltrate through easy passages of Bangladesh
4.Religious fundamentalism in Bangladesh is a cause of concern for India’s security
5.India has always been more open in concessions to encourage trade relations, while the other side still lacks the enthusiasm
Despite the criticisms that the newspaper have alleged to make against India’s so-called “step brotherly” treatment India has assured a greater aid package and assistance in all forms to the victims of Cyclone Sidr.
Yes, so what about the pathetic conditions and ill treatment meted out to fellow Indians in Malaysia? Justified, huh?
