New Delhi: After the violence broke out in Bangladesh, the situation worsened so much that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to resign from her post. The mob attacked Sheikh Hasina’s house Ganabhaban, there are reports of heavy vandalism and looting. The situation became such that Sheikh Hasina left the country and went to a safe place. According to media reports, she came straight to India. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Army Chief General Wakar-uz-Zaman announced that an interim government will now be formed in the country. The Bangladesh Army Chief urged the citizens to keep faith in the army. He stressed that the army will ensure peace in the coming days. Even though the Bangladesh Army Chief is talking about restoring peace in the country, the question is why such a situation has arisen in this neighboring nation of India? The question is not only about Bangladesh, there are four more neighboring nations of India where the situation remains very serious.
After all, how are India’s neighbours?
India shares its borders with Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Sri Lanka is a country which shares its maritime border with India. The way the situation has deteriorated in Bangladesh, similar situations have been seen in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. In a way, difficult situations have been hovering over these five neighbours of India. There are many reasons for this. The main reasons are a failed economy, dictatorship and a deadly combination of mobocracy. Difficult situations in neighbouring countries have always been a matter of tension for India. In such a situation, the question is how is our neighbourhood.
As the situation in Bangladesh worsened, BSF issued high alert on the border, the Centre issued travel advisory
‘Coup’ kept happening in Pakistan too
It is not hidden from anyone how the situation is in Bangladesh right now. The Prime Minister there has resigned. The Army Chief has talked about handling the situation and forming a new government. Earlier, such a situation has been seen in our other neighboring country Pakistan. When Imran Khan was the PM, there was a big political upheaval at that time. Imran took over the reins of the PM post of Pakistan in 2018. He gave the slogan of making a new Pakistan. However, as soon as 2022 came, all the opposition parties united and ousted Imran from power. He took the parties supporting Imran Khan to his side. After this, Imran’s government got into trouble. There were many reasons for this in Pakistan, including the economic situation. Imran Khan was the 22nd Prime Minister who could not complete his term.
When public anger erupted in Sri Lanka in 2022
In another neighbor of India, Sri Lanka, public anger erupted after the economic crisis. Angry protesters had occupied the Presidential Palace. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa thought it appropriate to leave the country at that time. At that time too, protesters had entered the Presidential Palace and vandalized it. The Sri Lankan political crisis of 2022 arose due to the conflict between President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and the people there. The public took to the streets due to the economic crisis.
Sheikh Hasina’s departure is a big setback for India, fear of increasing ‘anti-India’ sentiments in Bangladesh
Afghanistan is also not untouched
The condition of Bangladesh is in front of everyone. The condition of Pakistan, Sri Lanka has been seen in the last few years. The situation in Afghanistan is not much different. There too, there was a coup after the Taliban rule came. In the year 2021, when America withdrew its forces from Afghanistan after about 20 years, the situation there deteriorated. This decision gave the Taliban an opportunity to spread their feet again. The Taliban captured Kabul in August 2021. At that time the Afghan army had to admit defeat. President Ashraf Ghani was forced to leave the country. Since then, there is a Taliban government in Afghanistan.
When the army staged a coup in Myanmar
A coup has also taken place in Myanmar, another neighbour of India. Elections were held there in 2015, in which Aung San Suu Kyi’s party registered a one-sided victory. However, she could not become the President. After this, she again achieved success in the 2020 elections. However, the Myanmar army raised questions on her victory. In February 2021, the Myanmar army arrested many leaders including Aung San Suu Kyi and took power with itself. However, there were protests across the country against this military coup. Many people also lost their lives in this.
