Dhaka's Islamist Drift: India Must Prepare for 3.5-Front War

  • Bangladesh faces Islamist anarchy, targeting minorities and state institutions, fueled by religious frenzy and historical amnesia.
  • US intervention, pushing for "democracy" and engaging with Jamaat-e-Islami, inadvertently empowered Islamist groups.
  • Sheikh Hasina's miscalculations, including accommodating Hefazat-e-Islam, contributed to the rise of fundamentalism.
  • Hindu minorities face severe persecution, with India historically failing to protect them, leading to demographic erosion.
  • India is urged to adopt a maximalist strategy, including a "Law of Return" for Hindus and potential territorial demands, to counter the threat.

Why It Matters: India must abandon romantic idealism with Bangladesh and prepare for a strategic 3.5-front war.
