Pak-Bangladesh ties deliberately strained by external forces, particularly India
Pakistan and Bangladesh share deep historical, cultural, and religious ties that were deliberately strained by external forces, particularly India.
India’s 1971 intervention was a calculated geo-political move, orchestrated through Indian spy agency, RAW, to dismantle Pakistan—not just a military action.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman initially sought autonomy, not separation, but India manipulated the movement to serve its own strategic interests.
Mukti Bahini, trained and armed by India with direct RAW involvement, played a key role in the conflict—something Indian officials later admitted.
