Neighbourhood-first policy is something India likes to mention in recent years, but it has deep roots. India first hoped to inherit British India completely, but India's own strength was not enough, and the system of international relations did not allow it to do so, so this matter was put on hold for a long time, but India still spared no effort to do it, a "result" It was in the third Indo-Pakistani war that tore Bangladesh off from Pakistan, Bangladesh is of course a Muslin-dominated region, India tore it off just to divide this anti-Delhi sentiment, and it can't really effectively annex here, of course, in the third Indo-Pakistani war, the garrison of West Pakistan was indeed defeated, but the West Pakistanis were driven away, and the East Pakistanis were also difficult to deal with, and the Bengalis were protecting their hometown, and their combat effectiveness was definitely stronger than that of the West Pakistani garrison.
Like the mandala idea of the first part of India's international relations, one of the principles of India's international relations, India's neighborhood naturally includes parts of Pakistan and SINO, but they are not prioritized for care, but are preferentially hostile, and the reason for the hostility is simple: if other South Asian countries in the region, such as Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and even Bhutan are influenced by SINO, then it is like the "dominoes" of the United States against Indochina India itself is at stake. However, there is a practical problem that it is indeed difficult for Sino to promote the copy-paste of the Pakistani model, because Pakistan is the same as almost all countries in South Asia, they all have a large number of younger brothers, if it is not a last resort, even Pakistan will not look for sino, because Pakistan has extraordinary geographical value to sino, so Sino does not want to overthrow the dominance of the three services intelligence bureau and Badi cooking.
As for Bangladesh, there is no very serious confrontation with India, and Dhaka has no intention of bringing down India, which is not a good thing for Bangladesh. If India weakens, and even the Indian Mousselin movement that leans towards Pakistan, then Bangladesh may have a similar problem, and they are drawn into a whole annexation war or rebellion, so Bangladesh wants Pakistan to be blocked out by a stable India to some extent, which is the strategic mentality of Bangladesh. Bangladesh also uses the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers in India, the latter upstream of which is the Brahmaputra River, and if India collapses, then the owners of the Brahmaputra River are likely to directly dispute Bangladesh over water resources. India's confrontation over the puppet Arunachal issue has kept the union of Sino and Pakistan completely shut out from Bangladesh's administrative borders, which is not a bad thing for Dhaka.
And Bangladesh is naturally well aware of India's demands, so they are here, with a size of 100 million people, all of which are Muslin, which is enough for India to take the "resurrection action" of uniting Bangladesh to contain Pakistan. If you don't get along with the Bengalis, the result will be that the Bangladeshi Muslims will launch a large number of rebellions and raids like Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Bangladesh will eat this way. Of course, this is not to say that Bangladesh is completely hostile to India. As a country surrounded by India on three sides, only the Indian Ocean to the south is out of India's control, so the introduction of a certain sino, like Myanmar, will be conducive to the balance and stability of the diplomatic structure with India.
If we look at the Earth from the perspective of whether or not there is still a dichotomy, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, the distribution of this factor is still very broad. From the Philippine archipelago to Jakarta, from Sumatra to Myanmar, from India to North Africa, almost everywhere. Only the former member states of the Soviet Union, Mongolia, SINO, Vietnam, Laos, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Israel, Transcaucasia, Russia and Europe have really eliminated this factor, and Turkey is not clean. Many people write Kemal as a hero who smeared 400,000 brothers or teach secular feudal lords, but in fact, Turkey's own economists have to admit that not only in the Kemal period, but even in the 40-50s, the land issue was unresolved, and even in the 70s, Turkey's land annexation problem was still very serious, but Turkey gave the eldest brother preferential loans, purchased a lot of agricultural machinery, and introduced a modern manager system for cash crop planting, so that some so-called "modern farms" were transformed , so how did the 400,000 thing spread?In fact, this is a rumor, and it is the Kurds who are mainly killed, and this method of diverting contradictions is what Kemal adopted.
From the 20s to the 80s, Turkey allocated millions of hectares of land, of which only about 100,000 were cut out of the hands of the younger brothers, and most of the rest were wasteland, and the situation of land concentration was actually more serious in the 70s and 80s, but with the neoliberal financial tide of carving up the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the 80s and 90s, the financial deepening and so on spread poison, Turkey's urban economy began to prosper falsely, forming a Polish-style growth momentum, which brought about the problem of alleviating the unemployment of a large number of rural laborers caused by land concentration, I remember that some students said that Erdogan was an "economic prodigy", and he almost didn't laugh, so don't show off, it's too embarrassing and conspicuous.
The situation is very similar to that of the Philippines, which also carried out a lot of financial liberalization measures during the Ramos period, started to engage in false prosperity and went the exogenous route, so now it looks good, but in fact it has only gotten worse. Having said that, the small countries around India have followed a similar path, but there are still few that can achieve ** surpluses, and Bangladesh is one of the few. We must admit that the roots of the original germ of capitalism still remained in the Ganges Delta region, during the Mughal Dynasty, Bengal, especially Calcutta, was the center of the budding capitalism, and the textile industry here was very powerful, and Bangladesh now attracts foreign investment and part of the export surplus. Bangladesh is also open to foreign energy investment, with India's ONCG mining on Bangladesh's offshore continental shelf**. The rest is not very good, Nepal, the economy is mainly the younger brother cooking economy, Bhutan is even more of a waste, the situation in Sri Lanka needless to say, a black tea seller is mixed like this, it is also embarrassing.
India's fear of sino 50 years ago came from , and now it comes from capital, because the goal of their future transformation is most likely to be exogenous economies, so whoever has the money to invest will play a pivotal role in the economy of South Asian countries, Jinnah said that Kashmir is Pakistan's hat, and they will not allow India to control it, because if someone takes off the hat, Pakistan will be at the mercy of others. Today Indians will say that foreign capital inflows, especially FII, are the hat of the South Asian economy, and if SINO takes off this hat, then India will be embattled in South Asia, unable to move, and then at the mercy of others. It is also an embarrassing reality. India itself also needs this kind of thing, many people have been advocating India's ability to attract FDI, but they don't know that India's real profit and dependence on the lifeblood is FII, but India does not have the ability to export FII to the outside world, and it is not enough for others to use, which is to exchange life for favors.
India can't solve it on its own, so what should I do?Then use the United States. However, India is also afraid that the United States will control the entire South Asian subcontinent, so India hopes to use the FII and FDI of the United States to develop itself, and then unite the funds of the Middle East, Europe and other countries to enter India's capital market, and go to the surrounding small countries to invest in FII and FDI, but it must be FII-based. Secondly, India should station troops in these countries to achieve the ability to drive away possible SINO garrisons, and it can also build momentum.
