Message Board on Bangladeshi intrusionBangladesh's border skirmish with India -- in which 16 Indian soldiers have been killed -- could not have come at a better time for it. Faced with a general election, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina needed just such a diversion to shake off the tag of 'Indian stooge' that the Opposition had pinned on her. But for India, the crisis could not have occurred at a worse time. Political rumblings, economic downturn... the nation could have been spared this latest misadventure. How should India react to the outrage on its international border by a nation hitherto considered a friend? Are you happy with our reaction so far, or do you feel we have been wimpish? Whatever it is, tell us how you feel. |
