India is going to be surrounded by all enemies soon
After the comments by Mohammad Yunus during his visit to Beijing, about the seven sisters being landlocked and the benefits of being under China, the Indians are raving mad and warning Yunus not to create unnecessary trouble. In retaliation, India is cutting off Bangladesh trade links with Nepal and Bhutan, that needs to go through Indian territory.
Now, this is a dumb move as trade between Bangladesh with Nepal and Bhutan is only about US$26 million and declining. What is more detrimental to India is indirectly punishing Nepal and Bhutan, with Nepal already unhappy with the bullying by India and turning to China. And the stupid Indians are making a song and dance about it.
Moreover, China is now sending a trade mission to Bangladesh in May, with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao leading a 200-strong business delegation to talk about investments in Bangladesh. That is how fast China is moving and ready to fill the void. More than a US$150 million worth of agreements have already been signed with more to come after the visit.
Apart from this, Pakistan is also closing ranks with Bangladesh in defense alliance, and this is causing distress in India. Pakistan is supplying weapons to Bangladesh and with the Chinese behind, India is in serious trouble. India's days of bullying Bangladesh, like the USA bullying others, are over.

Now Bangladesh is not India's priority over border issues. Pakistan is stirring on the Western side of India, and the Indians are paranoid. India can bully a weak Bangladesh, but not do that with a strong Pakistan.
