9)Sheikh Hasina the right choice as key guest to the Republic Day but trust the PMO to miss the obvious

India Republic Day -- From your record 10 Chief Guest visitors for the Republic Day March in 2018 to none in 2021 is as very much a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the field approach to foreign policy.

Coming from a record 10 Chief Guest visitors for the Republic Day March in 2018 to none in 2021 is as very much a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the field approach to foreign policy because his blind spots even though zeroing in on an incredible foreign dignitary.

Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister of Bangladesh would have been the perfect Republic Day Chief Guest this coming year for umpteen reasons nevertheless it obviously didnt occur to Modi to single her available for the honour. I shiver to even speculate whether a visionary and statesman such as Modi is blinded through her religion or male or female or both to pass the girl up?

Instead of inviting Uk PM Boris Johnson who also ultimately chickened out Hasina should have been Modis programmed choice this year as it is the actual 50th anniversary of the birth of Bangladesh in 1971 plus the 50th year of the organization of diplomatic relations among New Delhi and Dhaka. Indias role in the development of Bangladesh by bashing the Pakistani army is actually well known. I have brought it up only to underline our pegs in Bangladesh. Moreover Hasina has been Indias steadfast in addition to unwavering ally in Sth Asia who has even entered swords with Pakistan in Indias behalf. Her genuine commitment to New Delhi is a proven and perceived fact. My friends in the Outer Affairs Ministry and the security establishment tell me that that one of the biggest priorities of our own foreign policy is to be sure that Hasina somehow remains the actual PM of Bangladesh which usually proves how invested i'm in her.

Modi seems to have a strange fixation for First World leaders. Last year they pulled out all stops to grab Donald Trump as the Key Guest to show his household constituency that whether it is Barrack Obama or Trump no US President can say no to Modi. But Overcome was too frightened through pollution levels in Delhi or simply too bored with Modi to accept the invitation which usually resulted in an eleventh hour or so invite to the obnoxious in addition to repulsive Jair Bolsonaro associated with Brazil. In a sense Modi possessed the last laugh though. He / she lured Trump to Ahmedabad and Delhi in March 2020 with the promise of Gujarati votes in the US elections! This time Modi eyed the actual dishevelled Johnson who is incidentally also hard of reading. It was a done cope until it suddenly fell through so close to January 21 that finding another Key Guest on the rebound has been well and truly difficult leaving Modi stranded.

Hasina has done so much for The indian subcontinent that Modi keeps forking over Bangladesh compliment after enhance. He recently described the actual phase of bilateral contact as the golden era of India-Bangladesh ties. Modi absolutely doesnt talk out of his / her hat. He means what exactly he says. During a 90-minute long Virtual Summit together with Hasina on December teen 2020 he said: Bangladesh is a major pillar of Indias Neighbourhood First insurance policy. From the very first day as EVENING strengthening and development of contact with Ban gladesh has been a special priority for me. Hasina immediately reciprocated by calling India Bangladeshs true friend.

There are far too many instances of these kinds of cordial exchanges. But I used to be most touched by what Hasina said during a World Economical Forum meeting in 2018 in Dalian. Our contact with India are organically grown. It cannot be measured with a few billion dollars of trade. India and Bangladesh shed blood together for that creation of my land.

In Octobe r 2020 India posted a new Large Commissioner Bikram Doraiswami who also drove to Dhaka rather than flying there. While browsing Awami League headquarters in December 23 2020 Doraiswami according to a report in Ittefaq a leading Bangladeshi newspaper said that if the Awami League isnt there The indian subcontinent will be friendless in Bangladesh. If thats indeed genuine doesnt Awami League crucial Hasina - who has invited Modi to Dhaka as the Chief Guest on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Bangladeshs independence in Drive 2021 - deserve to be the Chief Guest at our Republic Day?
