Manmohan Singh claimed that Bangladeshis hated India. Off the record or not, the question is: Is there any neighbor who actually likes India?
I think Sub continent would be a great place if India were to be located somewhere in Latin America or West Africa.
But poor people of sub-continent have to bear with these extremely cunning and insecure people, :sigh:
May be, just may be some time in the future (in 100 years or so), these Indians will start realizing that there is a faster way to progress if they had good relations with their neighbors. Till then expect a lot of shyt happening in the neighborhood.

*NEW DELHI (Agencies) - Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh claimed many Bangladeshis are “very anti-Indian”, in controversial remarks posted on his official website which were later removed for being “off the record”.
Singh said Bangladesh political landscape can change anytime. Speaking at the capital New Delhi to a select group of Indian newspaper editors he frankly said his neighbours worries him a great deal. “So a very uncertain neighbourhood.” He blames Pakistan’s spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) having nexus with the terrorist elements in Bangla Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami may change the political regime in Bangladesh.*

**Indian envoy summoned in Dhaka over PM’s ‘gaffe’ **
*NEW DELHI: Rajit Mitter, India’s High Commissioner to Bangladesh, has been summoned by the government in Dhaka to explain Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks against Bangladeshis earlier this week. The prime minister’s office posted a transcript of the PM’s meeting with editors earlier this week, where the PMO quoted him saying, “we must reckon that at least 25% of the population of Bangladesh swear by the Jamaat-ul-Islami and they are very anti-Indian, and they are in the clutches, many times, of the ISI (of Pakistan).”
The prime minister’s publicized remarks on Bangladesh have not only embarrassed India and the PM personally, but created a storm in the neighbouring country. Its timing could not have been worse. Foreign minister S M Krishna is expected to visit Dhaka from July 6 to 8, and sources said he can expect some tough questioning there. Krishna’s visit is expected to prepare for Singh’s trip to Dhaka later this year. *
*The PM was equally candid about Sri Lanka, Pakistan and China, none of which have been removed from the website. On Sri Lanka, the PM not only dwelt on the “reality” of Sinhala chauvinism, but also said, “Tamil problem does not disappear with the defeat of the LTTE. The Tamil population has legitimate grievances. They feel they have been reduced over the years to second-class citizens. And our emphasis has been to persuade the Sri Lankan government that we must move towards a new system of institutional reforms, where the Tamil people will have a feeling that they are equal citizens of Sri Lanka, and they can lead and live a life of dignity and self-respect. It is not easy because within Sri Lanka’s population, there are hotheads…” *
Poking nose everywhere in the internal affairs of other neighboring countries and then they wonder why every neighbor hates this country called India.
Re: Bangladeshis hate India, says Manmohan Singh
At the moment there is a pro India government in bangladesh, I don't know why he had to give this statement. He said that about 25 % of bangladeshis are followers of jamaat e islami and hence under control of isi. First of all he should let every one know the ilm that he has to quantify the number of people subscribing to a particular school of thought/party and secondly for the Indians isi is an ubiquitous kind of thing that's present Under anything that's anti India.
Re: Bangladeshis hate India, says Manmohan Singh
Threat title is incorrect.
Is 25% = 100%?
Re: Bangladeshis hate India, says Manmohan Singh
