Recent developments reveal India’s covert efforts to undermine Bangladesh’s sovereignty, raising concerns over the use of misinformation and Hindu nationalism.
The alleged actions, backed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and tacitly supported by the Indian government, aim to destabilize a nation that now firmly embraces its independence.
Indian media outlets have been accused of misreporting incidents of alleged persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh. These exaggerated claims appear designed to fuel communal tension and tarnish Bangladesh's global image.
Such misinformation coincides with protests orchestrated by RSS in India, which further amplify a narrative that seeks to challenge Bangladesh's autonomy.
Adding to the tension, a recent visit by India’s Foreign Secretary to Dhaka was described as uninvited and disrespectful by local analysts, symbolizing an overt attempt to exert influence.
This visit, coupled with the ongoing media campaign, underscores India’s growing frustration with Bangladesh's refusal to return to a position of dependency.
