After winning the parliamentary elections, Narendra Modi took oath as the 15^th Prime Minister of India on May 26, 2014. From April until today, political circles of Dhaka are discussing the Indian elections and implications of the change of government in India on Bangladesh.

Comment:

Intense discussions in the Bangladeshi political medium and mass media about the Indian elections and its repercussions on Bangladesh give the impression that politics of Bangladesh revolves around the Indian orbit; as if the fate of the people of Bangladesh depends on the wishes of her Prime Minister. Two major events in Bangladesh - the Pilkhana massacre that killed 57 army officers in 2009 and the so-called election of the 5^th of January 2014, vehemently supported by the last Congress regime - had created an atmosphere of Indian dominance on Bangladeshi politics. Also, in line with U.S. policy and Indian demand, Hasina's government had surrendered a key strategic advantage by turning nearly all secessionist leaders of Northeast India to the Indian authority. Could the experts of the U.S. National Intelligence Council predict these events in the year 2000 when they published their report titled Global Trends 2015, where they said: "Bangladesh... will be drawn closer to and more dependent on India..."?

Today, every aware person ponders upon two points: (1) whether there will be any change in the Bangladesh-India relationship and (2) whether change in India will usher regime change in Bangladesh too. With the installation of pro-U.S. parties in power in both Pakistan and India, their counterparts in Bangladesh, BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami are happy and expecting that they too will be in power soon. Why not? Almost the entire Islamic land from Turkey to India, including Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan is now ruled by the U.S. agents. Regime change in Bangladesh will just complete the straight line!

In fact, U.S.A. is building a spider's web; it can neither contain Russia or China, nor can it suppress the rise of Islam within it. Current rulers in the Islamic lands from Erdogan to Hasina are tasked with achieving the impossible. They are destined to fail. Resistance against the U.S. stranglehold over the Muslim Ummah and demand for Islamic rule is getting stronger day by day. Allah (swt) says,

((... وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ))

"They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah." [Surah Anfal: 30]

Also, the Ummah does not expect anything from the current ruling class; they have seen how pathetically both Hasina and Khaleda have thrown themselves to the feet of Modi. Whims and desires of the U.S.A and India cannot be the future of Muslims. Islam forbade us to follow the disbelievers and only the Islamic state can liberate us from their clutches. Therefore, the Ummah works, hopes, prays and waits for the establishment of the second Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashidah in the City of Mosques, Dhaka. One day, Allah (swt) willing, it will reach the City of Pope, liberating Muslims from the hands of the Mushrikeen in India and Yahood in Palestine on its way.
