INDIA BANGLADESH TREATIES

India Bangladesh Agreements Two years after the expulsion of Sheikh Hasina Need India continue with Bangladesh in the same lines as it was before? If India decides to accept the new strategic planning and combat equations Dhaka has turned to, in the near future, the country will be creating another Pakistan. The turn of events may land up in a situation that India will have to fight against her own ingeniously developed weaponries. If not, New Delhi will have to reconsider all the Bilateral agreements and treaties, and scape it to the present context. The thirty-year Indo-Bangla Ganga Water Treaty of 1996 will expire on the 12th of December 2026. It is not certain whether the Governments are already carrying out negotiations and exchanges to review and renew the Agreement. The Government of India will have to seriously examine the concerns of Bihar on the scrapping of the treaty. Bihar as the state that will suffer from the adverse impact of the treaty has every right to be a party to the agreement on the Part of India. Why India is not taking up the Joint River Commission on the remaining 53 rivers in the light of the present political change is not clear. How far the MoU on Kushiyara River will be of good to India to be seen. In the Present situation all the agreements on the waters including the 2014 settlement of Maritime boundary also seems to invite reconsideration. How did India agree to the settlement is a great wonder. It is the same approach as with the international boundaries that remain unresolved. 20 Bangladesh is totally an enclave within the Union of India. It enjoys land route connectivity with Nepal and Bhutan including providing concessions to take away the priority of Kolkata Port. Bangladesh , ousted Sheikh Haseena and Malicious Historical Revisionism . Today they do not recognise the Role and sacrifices of India for their liberation. They moved towards Pakistan and are entering into defence relations with Pakistan and China and looking towards Islamic Strategic alliance. rather Islamic Treaty Organisation. Bangladesh has destroyed every aspect of history relating to Mujib Ur Rahman. It is today a different Country , not moving ahead with Principles of Bengali origin, but towards an Islamic Republic. Once a country disowns the Father of the Nation and poses a challenge to India with Erasure of History, India can Justifiably withdraw from India Bangladesh Border Agreement and from the entire 25-year Indira -Mujib Treaty of 1972. Two clauses have been loudly flouted by Bangladesh viz “ (iii) The contracting parties reaffirm their faith in the policy of non-alignment and peaceful co-existence as important factors for easing tension in the world, maintaining international peace and security and strengthening national sovereignty and independence; (iv) The contracting parties shall maintain regular contacts and exchange views with each other on major international problems affecting the interest of both the states. Most pertinently when India has strategic conflicts with China and an ongoing military conflict with Pakistan, any attempt of Bangladesh entering into strategic relations with both the countries will be violative of clause 9. (ix) Each of the contracting parties shall refrain from giving any assistance to any third party taking part in an armed conflict against the other party. In case if either party is attacked or threatened to attack, the contracting parties shall immediately enter into mutual consultations to take necessary measures to eliminate the threat and thus ensure the peace and security of their countries. India cannot fall deaf to their revanchist designs on the Seven Sisters , it cannot be taken in isolation. India and the Northeastern states mostly do not know how India wrested Assam province from falling in the hands of Jinnah . He had won over Radcliffe on the claim that Hill Tribes Khasi Jaintia , Lushai, North East Frontier Tracts and Naga Hills do not have any religion and they with the Muslim population of Assam form a majority . Last minute intervention of Gopinath Bordoloi led Gandhiji to take hold of the situation. The confusion on14th of August 1947 on the status of the Chicken neck of Karimganj ( Sribhumi), Murshidabad and Malda are still not known to the mainland. India. The main thrust was on the Siliguri Corridor. Mainland India did not show much interest or concern on the head count of the India Bangladesh enclaves in 2010-’11, in the same way as the Congress did not pay much attention to the Sylhet referendum. India will continue to pay the cost off blind trust with neighbours.
