Assam and surrounding Indian state's stability threatened

By Shamsul Basunia

The Indian government is mulling the arrangement of polls for early next year in this region amidst the threat of large scale insurgencies by the United Liberation Front of Assam - ULFA and its associates among the CPI (Maoist) left leaning political parties that exist in the state very predominately. 

Once Maoist cadres’ numbers were only around 300, now, how many nobody knows. Neighbouring Arunachal, Nagaland, Meghalaya and the sovereign country of Bangladesh are encouraging these fronts.

The protagonists are engaged in seeking all sorts of support. Bangladeshi people once were and still are soft on them, they think and express their memory that previously the Bangladeshi peoples needed support from the Assamese, in the period of the liberation war that was staged in 1971. Thus this link of today.

India’s Home Affairs minister for the first time formally declared Assam as a Maoist-hit state. Insurgencies are predominant there. However, why are people of the state witnessing such painful scenarios every day? These are agro-based states in the India. However, minerals are another salient feature. Agriculture is dominant though over other elements. 

The State Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi noted that the Maoist movement is still at its embryonic stage, but could soon emerge as a potent threat to peace, security and stability. The adjoining areas in Arunachal Pradesh, were established with some co-operation of the left-wing insurgency-rife states of Odessa and Jharkhand.

Tripura

Chief Minister of Tripura Manik Sarkar says, the insurgency has not been uprooted yet, despite all out efforts. Militants are still on the operational mode in interior places of the state. Few months earlier, a treaty was signed between central government and the insurgents residing in the state.

However, Border Security Forces along with other forces like Tripura State Rifles, and Tripura Police are jointly performing their duties to keep peace in the state but in most of the cases, without success. Sociologists opine that the budget that the centre sanctioned for the state is adequate. That pains the people of this state. They are not able to compete in the pace of  development as other developed states like, Uttarpradesh, Gujrat, Madyapradesh, Kerala, Karnataka etc.

Nagaland

Nagaland is one of the seven states of North East India, which are also called the ‘seven sisters’, surrounded by four countries, viz. China, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Bhutan. These states are connected with mainland India through a 22km wide corridor at Siliguri, called the ‘chicken’s neck’.The people of Nagaland, like the rest of the North East states, belong to the Indo-Mongoloid group and speak the Tibeto-Burman dialects. Traditionally, the people followed animistic religions until their recent rapid conversion to Christianity. Nagaland was carved out of ‘greater Assam’ in 1963. 

The Tuensang Tract was also included in Nagaland, which was a part of North Eastern Frontier Area  at that time. Naga people were deprived of any development works, suffered in employment opportunities, becasue of poverty, maltreatment and uncaring political hegemony that made them unruly and furious and sometimes pushed them to resort to armed struggle. Narendra  Modi government has signed a peace treaty recently but the development package is yet to follow and that makes them once again aggrieved .

Arunachal

Arunachal is a state which identifies as a next-door neighbour to Myanmar, Bhutan and Bangladesh. As New Delhi is far from the state, it  demands its sovereignty because the people of this state see they are deprived of all modern amenities and facilities that are being enjoying in the rest of the country. Over the course of time, the protesting people formed Bodo Liberation Tigers and began to fight against the armed forces to liberate themselves. All Students Union joined with their struggle and at one stage matters went beyond the control of the central government.

Finding no other way, the government established ties with the insurgents eventually but there has been no development. People are collectuively groaning amidst torture, and misrule.

Meghalaya

Meghalaya is a North East Indian state that lies at the doorstep of Bangladesh. China is very near to the state and the insurgents take opportunity to bring in weapons from that country as the Untied Liberation Front of Assam - ULFA - in Assam did and does. Social injustice, economical deprivation and political hegemony make the state restless. State and central government take very little care and this makes the majority of people aggrieved, yet again. 

Government initiatives do not make them happy. The state supplies coal and other natural resources to the whole country but the people get nothing that they aspire to. The youthful  forces, along with the support of Chittagong Hill Tracts insurgents, make them stronger. This strength mounted more and more plus the Assamese began to help them to fight against government forces. Now the government is striving to pacify the insurgency but pragmatic strategy by the Indian government has not followed.

Manipur

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s high-level Task Force on the Northeast wants the army to be pulled out of counter-insurgency duties in Manipur and Nagaland, and re-deployed east to guard the porous border with Myanmar. Like the other members of the seven sisters, Manipur is replete with in-demand natural resources but the people of this state do not in-full get their rights and privileges as other Indian states enjoy.

Justice and humanity itself speaks loudly for the provision of this state its full due of shares and rights that they need to enjoy life. However, the central government fails to serve the people of this state. No neighbouring country has time to ignite other’s insurgencies, as they are busy with their own domestic needs and problems.

Mizoram

The 20-year long insurgency in Mizoram led by the Mizo National Front was resolved as far back as in 1986, and the State has, since, been at peace in terms of that stream of insurgency. Nevertheless, the ethnic polarization and tensions provoked by the MNF insurgency continue to trigger occasional violence linked to a range of other armed groups, some of them located in and operating from neighboring states.

On February 2, 2015, armed militants suspected to be from National Liberation Front of Tripura and Bodo Democratic Front of Mizoram abducted 22 people from an area close to the Indo-Bangladesh border in Mamit District of Mizoram. 

Sources disclosed that around 10 militants armed with sophisticated weapons later released 20 of them, while holding back two hostages - Hokum Singh and Mohammad Buizul Islam. The hostages are employees of the Border Roads Task Force. On February 1, 2015, the Mizoram Police and Assam Rifles, in a joint operation, arrested two arms dealers from Vanzau village in Champhai District near the Indo-Myanmar border. These incidence are unceasing.

What has come to light in recent days is the effect of a decision of the central government to allow Hindu refugees from Bangladesh into Assam, and the locals in these states are worried about getting swamped, and see this as a move to alter the demographics with next years election in mind. 

With the situation already tense due to non-application of minority rights, and an over-reaching New Delhi political stretch the Modi government needs to pay special attention to what is happening in Assam and bring the Assamese into the dialogue when making policies.

Stop forced disappearances, save the humans believe in your faith or not

With a call on the government to ratify the convention for saving people from forced disappearance, rights and socio-political organizations are being observed today the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances in Bangladesh and elsewhere in the world. Amid the growing number of reports concerning harassment, ill-treatment and intimidation of witnesses of disappearances or relatives of persons who have disappeared, The UN General Assembly adopted the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, and decided to declare August 30 the International Day to be observed beginning in 2011. Since then, rights groups in Bangladesh have been observing the day campaigning for ratification of the international convention as over 200 people, mostly having political backgrounds, disappeared in last seven years. The government, however, denied that incident of enforced disappearance were taking place in the country. Minister for home affairs Asaduzzaman Khan declined comment when asked why the government seemed unwilling to ratify the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance adopted by the United Nations if it was truly against enforced disappearance. To mark the day, the Moulik Odhikar Surakkha Committee, a platform of citizens campaigning for upholding human rights, held a conference at the National Press Club. A number of families of the victims of enforced disappearance also joined the day-long conference titled ’Appeal of relatives: no more enforced disappearance, killing and abduction. The Asian Legal Resource Centre in an emailed statement said justice had not been done to the victims of enforced disappearance in Bangladesh. ‘The families of victims of enforced disappearance are being denied access to the complaint mechanism whenever allegations are brought against the agents of the state,’ it said, adding, ‘The police refuse to register such complaints.’ The ALRC urged the United Nations Human Rights Council to hold Bangladesh accountable before the international community for its failure to provide remedies to victims and families of victims of enforced disappearance. Rights organization Odhikar stated that 150 people, mostly from political backgrounds, fell victim to enforced disappearance between January 2009 and August 2014.

Price of onion goes beyond reach in Dhaka's kitchen market

Though adequate reserves, supply is normal, onion price is rising unabated in the capital’s kitchen market. The price of this commodity increased by taka 30 a kg within a week. Rise of retail markets in the capital on Wednesday reached from 85 to 90 taka per kilogram . And imported onions are sold at 85 to 75 on the basis of its standard. A week ago, which was 55 to 60 taka respectively. Marketing agency of the Government Trading Corporation of Bangladesh TCB has been depicted as the price rises. According to sources, a portion of onion is imported from India. But the market has the effect of increasing export prices of onion. However, it is being sold on the market now that the imported onion. Not only is the house last April, local onion. The local onion crop was good enough reserves. So at this moment there is no logical reason for the rise in onion price. Another source said, importers reduced importing onion from India as the country increased the price of onion there. As a result, domestic demand of onion is on rise and the price is rising. India's onion production is low this year due to adverse weather conditions, which can discourage onion exports increased onion’s export price. On Saturday, a minimum export price of onion per ton increased from $ 700 to $ 425 for ton. Earlier on June 6 , export price was increased to $ 425 from $ 75. Ministry of Commerce forecast the sale of commodity, according to the needs, the twenty two million tons of onion is required in the country every year. However, onion production is 19 lakh 30 thousand tons this year . Deficit stands 2 lakh 70 thousand tons this time. But according to NBR data, the current fiscal year up to July 4 lakh 92 thousand tons of onions were imported. This figure tells that onion reserve is more than its demand; so why is increasing the price of this essential commodity? Communist Party of Bangladesh, CPB Acting President Comrade Haider Akbar Khan Rono and General Secretary Comrade Syed Abu Zafar Ahmed in a statement protested the sudden abnormal growth of inflation. They said the sudden abnormal increase price of onion made the helpless to the laboring poor, poor, middle class people. The price went out of reach to them, they added.They urged government to check the rise of price without making any delay.

Let us join the caravan of peace against violence, race of nuclear arms

Military occupation is continuously jeopardizing peace and stability in the globe as the big countries along with the super powers like USA, Russia, Germany and China are yet ready to free those territories once they occupied. Tiny country, Israel took the opportunity of the big countries rivalry attitude and invaded the weaker neighbors vast territories. Presently, USA is controlling a part of Japan’s territory deploying its land and naval forces while Russia keeps its control over Abkhazia of Georgia, Crimea of Ukrainian, Israel is controlling Ramallah,East Jerusalem of Palestine, West Bank of Jordan, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights of Syria, and a vast part of Egyptian territories. When the slogans and voice raised across the country against the occupation, slavery and all sorts of stigma, the occupiers are not ready to hear the voice. They are yet, stop preparing war preparedness on the bank of the Korean peninsula, in the middle east, and on the valley of South East Asia where India and Pakistan are engaged in a nuclear war-words each day. And Myanmar is engaged to uproot the Muslim Rohingyas that becoming the painful scenario to the human kinds. Turkey once invaded Cyprus and from 1974, it ruled the vast areas of the occupied country. Morocco once occupied Western Sahara and from 1975, it is controlling the region. Azerbaijan invaded Armenians Artsvashen while Armenia occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, Yuxan Oskipara of Azerbaijan. Breaching all the norms of global peace and stability, once the super powers engaged to fight each other in FIRST WORLD WAR and for the next the universe also witnessed the SECOND WORLD WAR that gave the humans innumerable bodies and devastations after devastations to the world. Peace loving people became helpless to these warlords and war-monger countries, but their attitude yet changing. People from the bank of Atlantic, Pacific Ocean to Atractica and Indian Ocean are continuously crying for peace and safety in the world. Especially the humanist people under the banner of HUMANIST MOVEMENT began to march across the all corners of the globe that to be ended on November 26, 2015. October 2 is the international non-violence day and the humanist people celebrate the day with due respect and fervor. Meanwhile, several localities and townships and neighborhoods joined to these marches and the march is advancing towards the other areas of the world very soon. The experiences of battle, skirmish and war pushed the humans to indescribable miseries and woes that people yet carry on and it will continue until the day of final devastation. Once Allies occupied Libya in Second World War, Berlin,Austria, Iran while Greece occupied parts of Turkey in 1919, Pakistan invaded India in 1971, and India invaded Kashmir in 1948. Iraq occupied Kuwait in 1990, Israel invaded South Lebanon in 1982, India again invaded Maldives in 1988 while China invaded Vietnam in 1979, and Argentina embattled with England in 1982 that gave humans nothing but devastations and lives. Japan seems to be a peace loving country; but once this country invaded China’s Manchuria during the war of 1931. The country again invaded against China and occupied Shanghai in 1937 for the time-being. UK occupied Denmark that caused more pains to the people of both countries. Russia, seems to be clean, but once it invaded Georgia, Costa Rica, Iran, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Estonia, Latvia,Lithuania and renamed its name SOVIET UNION. In this way, if we walk more to explore the episodes of painful history of battles, we only find the sorrows and pathos across the whole humanity. Therefore, let us come forward to join the humanist movement to free the globe from race of war, nuclear warfare and destruction. We, all want peaceful and stable world to live in.

JSD was involved behind the killing of Bangabandhu, alleges Sheikh Selim

Awami League leader Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim said, it is JSD which had cleared the way for the killing of Bangabandhu, JSD activists were in liberation forces and they joined to both army and GANABAHINI, a armed wing of that political party. Anti Liberation forces could not hit on Bangabandhu ever, the people's militia, the opposition party JSD began to rob banks in different places, started killing people, and the MP’s. He said this at a seminar on the occasion of National Mourning Day arranged at Dhanmondi in the capital city recently. Selim said the party is a so-called party of liberation. What is scientific socialism, the revolution would they do? JSD workers were in Mujibabahini, in freedom fighters, so we need to find the mystery of the assassination of Bangabandhu, who else was involved. The context of the assassination of Bangabandhu, he said, it was not a coup. This led to the killing of stray soldiers and retired soldiers. When they took the weapons, then they should have been court

martial. Sheikh Selim criticized former army chief KM Shafiullah why did not he come forward to resist killing of Bangabandhu. He was silent for what? Prime Minister died a half to two hours after the killing of Sheikh Kamal.

Why India-Pakistan bilatteral talks plunged?

On the agenda of talks, the nuclear power owned next door two neighbors India and Pakistan failed to reach to a point and the scheduled talk of foreign minister level meeting postponed. One side said talks should be held on all issues relating to the two countries. Other side said it should be limit only one issue how to curb the terrorism in and out of these two countries especially stopping terrorist infiltration in two countries. The curtain came down by Saturday night while the message came from two sides that no side is ready to move from their own stances. On Saturday, Pakistan’s Foreign affairs Adviser Sartaj Aziz said he would widen the areas of the talks and Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said it is impossible to widen the areas of the talks as terrorism is the only issue in these regions. Pakistan accused India for breaching discipline by opening fire on the international border line and India accused Pakistan is engaged to harboring the terrorists in its territories. He wished to meet the Kashmiri separatist Hurriyat leader during his visit, but Swaraj negated to do so that made Aziz imbalance in the way to talk. Shimla treaty Sushma said Pakistan’s decision to invite the Hurriyat leadership for a meeting is against the Shimla treaty that signed by the two sides during 1974. There is no probation to invite any third party to the bilateral talks. She set a time-schedule to give a clear assurance that Aziz will not include any other agenda than terrorism at the stipulated talk. Aziz gave the signal of denying the only one agenda Balochistan Pakistan accused India is interfering in Balochistan’s internal affairs. He claimed he has evidence in his hand to show the proof to India and the international community. The diplomats opined that before meeting bilateral talks, the two countries should restore trust as a first step towards normalization. The main agenda would be to reduce tensions amidst the two countries. Kashmir issue is an outstanding issue between the two sides. Once Bangladesh was the number one issue to two countries during the liberation war staged in 1971. Now is the Kashmir is the number one issue. Why does the India negate the issue? Pakistan, therefore, reiterates that the scheduled talks cannot be held on the basis of the preconditions set by India, the diplomats argued.

Intra-ruling party clashes rises,Extra judicial killings are also rise alarmingly

Extra judicial killings are on the rise in Bangladesh alarmingly. In the span of a couple of days, seven men in ruling party were killed that reveals that the government has lost her control over the state-run judiciary system and resorting killing mission to her unruly people by other means. Side by side, intra-political armed conflict caused the killing incidences also in the ruling party. Three ruling party men were killed due to clashes over garment waste rag trade.

Venting his anger at the killing of BCL’s Hazaribagh Thana a unit president Arzu Mia in the so-called gunfight, local AL MP Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh said Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) killed Arzu after picking him up, not in the gunfight. When contacted, BCL president Saifur Rahman said, we support no killing. We will take action late, after investigating the matter. AL senior leader Suranjit Sengupta said, Chhatra League is a political party formed with the ideals of Bangabandhu. They might have deviated, but crossfire is not a solution to that deviation. The solution will have to be made politically. We will have to find a solution by grooming party workers and leaders based on ideology and principles.

The independent sources said that the prime minister’s message to take a tough stance against criminal activities has already been sent to the heads of different law enforcement agencies. At a program of Swechchhasebak League, AL general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam called on the party leaders and workers to give up greed.

Probir Sikdar, a Bangladeshi journalist is still apprehending for being kidnapped or physical assault or being missing while he used to moving here and there. He sought police protection so that no one can harm him. However, men in police administration arrested him instead of providing him protection. He hailed from Faridpur and now is staying in Dhaka’s Indira Road in farmgate areas at a residence and running a newspaper magazine named 71 and online news portal 71news.com.

Northern Bangladesh facing water scarcity greatly; people gradually becoming impatient

In south- eastern parts of Bangladesh, the monsoon rain pouring is going to stop, but the scenario of acute drought in northern areas is continuing. The farmers are facing great problems in farming serial corns in those parts. When floods have damaged paddy and other crops on over 39,102 hectares of land in 34 districts this year, plunging thousands of farmers into abject misery. Heavy monsoon rains started in mid June, causing serious flooding in 34 districts of the country. The deluge affected farmers to a great extent. Crops like aman and aush paddy, their seedlings and many varieties of vegetables were damaged in the flooding. The worst flood-hit districts are Cox’s Bazar, Feni, Noakhali and Comilla. Hamidur Rahman, Director-General of Department of Agricultural Extension, said that the damage to crops was reduced to taking early steps and crop diversification. On the other hand, Dr. Inun Nishat, a water expert said due to climate change complicacies the vast areas of northern Bangladesh are drying and the area gradually loses the fertility to the soil. People are by this time, fall into scarcity of water. As water is needed to cultivate aman and aus paddy,the farmers are not able to cultivate the lands due to want of water in these areas. It affects the Agro economic situation to the people of these areas. And mass people are becoming angry with the government. Angry people are hungry people; therefore all the people come forward to do something in line of solving the problem. Experts said, the International community should come forward to solve the problem permanently by stopping climate change. The industrialist countries each day are engaged to dump wastage to the waters into Atlantic and Pacific oceans that causes the climate change hazards.

America facing growing cyber threat amidst its negligence to security measures

United States of America is facing growing cyber threat from the other countries. However, the authorities are not so active to tackle the problem. Once the country was very much interested to invade the other countries like the Latin America’s countries and the Muslim countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Russia. It is cyber war what is more dangerous than the land, air and naval attacks. United States of America has no so prepared to combat this neo-style war that imposed by China and other countries. And getting this opportunity, opponent countries are consistently inflicting damage on the United States economy. Different survey reports unveil that every year US loses more intellectual property on government, university, and business network than all the intellectual property in the Library of Congress. Just this week, a massive cyber attack was carried by the antagonist countries that damaged the personal data of at least four million federal employees. Recently, we saw reports that how automobiles, which are being run more and more on computer technology, are vulnerable to cyber attack.The vulnerability of airplanes to cyber attack. A recent General Accountability Office report confirmed the vulnerability of aircraft to cyber attack and their on board systems of being hacked. In 1965, Gordon Moore, the co-founder of computer chip maker Intel, observed that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles every two years. “Moore’s Law” has not only remained constant for decades, but there have been similar rates of remarkable increases of technology. Cyber warfare is the most complicated national security threat that the U.S. has ever faced because technology is changing so quickly. In fact, the speed of change in the cyber technology realm is changing faster than the Pentagon and that of our broader national security apparatus’s ability to analyze and adapt. The five biggest banks in America have assets equivalent to 56% of America’s GDP. This is up from 43% in 2006. The “too big to fail banks” have only gotten bigger. Securing our financial system must be a top priority in the cyber war. Seven points may tighten the security of the USA. They are:-- 1. Increase support to the Air Force Research Laboratory and develop quantum computing with the generation of true random numbers on a chip. 2. Recruit cyber experts at home and abroad. US has only 1,000 people with the necessary skills to defend the country against the cyber attacks out of the 20,000-30,000 people required. 3. Provide national security scholarships to top computer science and data security measures in the United States. 4. Fight a preventive war against cyber terrorists. US must go after its enemy before the enemy can cause damage to the economy. 5. Follow the country of Georgia’s example and plant “booby traps” for cyber terrorists and hackers. 6. Ensure that US Cyber Command has the ability to coordinate with the private sector during a cyber attack. 7. Distinguish between cyber attacks from regimes like China and Russia versus Islamist regimes like Iran. The cyber threat to the United States is growing each day and is inflicting real damage to America, both economically and from a national security standpoint.

Iran mulls to construct a nuclear specialized hospital for a million

Iran’s Atomic Energy Director Ali Akbar Salehi hints his country is going to build a specialized nuclear hospital in future that may contribute a lot in the field of health sector. After getting nod of President Hassan Rouhani, the construction work will soon start, he adds. To meet the aim and objectives of this program is to mitigate sufferings of common people by utilizing research, development and radio medicines production. Earlier the people of civilized world especially the populace and governments of western countries usually say that Iran is secretly building nuclear weapon to destruct the whole civilization, but it proved that Iran did not go to that track. Actually to give more peace and development, the country is engaged to do something good to the people. An official source of Iran unveils that over a million of people in Iran are using now home-made medicine that to be turned into radio medicines and Iran is going to be only producer of such medicines in the Middle East countries. Salehi touches the points of untiring efforts by local scientists to develop centrifuges as part of country’s peaceful nuclear drive. Recently, nuclear treaty was signed between Iran and the six western countries ushered the avenue to develop the nuclear program for the sake of people’s welfare. Salehi further reiterated that his country is not ready to pursuing the path of atomic weapons that destruct the humans.

Gas scarcity both in household, industrial sector is on rise in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh,gas scarcity both in household sector and industrial sector is on rise.On the advance of the days, the crisis becomes acute, gradually.The shortage looms heavy on the newly set up industries as well as those awaiting distribution.The sufferers are textile and RMG factories owners those who already have been made noticed the standing problems to the authority. However the authority repeatedly failed to bring any solution to the problem. With the increase of populace in the country, demands are increasing day by day. A holistic massive plan is essential in this respect, the sociologist is saying so. The government does not able to address the standing problems in the country. On the other hand, the government imported power from the neighbors and able to meet the other burning crisis to her populace at least to some extent. Here needs a permanent long-term electricity generation procedure that brings solvency to the commoners. However the men in government give less importance in this sector than to the other sectors. The pale scenario is seen now a day. At present, the scarcity causes havoc as hundreds of industrial units at industrial belt involving several billions of dollars in invest are sitting idle for shortage of gas and power. Over 300 textile and garment factories are not in operation due to a shortage of gas and power. According to a Dhaka-based daily,the scenario is deteriorating daily, no solution is coming from the men in authority. One official admits that they are in the defensive line, but they certainly move round to a stable position in generating and distributing. The users especially, authorities of Bangladesh Garments Producers and Exporters Association and Spinning Association opine that nearly 200 RMG factories and 100 textile factories have gone on closed. The stakeholders, especially the workforces became helpless, losing their jobs. How the owners feed them without productivity.

The incumbent government, in her two successive terms, is able to add power to national greed, but what they have done to gas? Despite the odds and amid controversy, has brought some noticeable changes in the power sector, but in gas sector, the government’s initiatives are not visible to the people. It gives a bad signal to the potential investors who think to come forward to invest in Bangladesh, both from home and foreign. Amidst the pale scenario, the law and order situation all of a sudden fall down to some extent. Four bloggers, one after one, have been killed at the nose of Law Enforcers, in cases of nabbing the culprits, no substantial advancement has been made so far. The law enforcers, as if became helpless and seems to be armless to grab them. The child and women abuse is rising alarmingly, The police administration does a little in this regard that creates fear to the investors and entrepreneurs. The Government should come forward to undertake the massive initiatives to tackle the acute crisis that she facing every day and able to provide a relief within the shortest possible time. If problems not met on priority basis, the situation will go beyond control at any moment. May good spirit prevail and evil one defeat.

India exports cattle meat to USA and other countries except Bangladesh

India exports beef to USA and Brazil unopposed but in the cases of Bangladesh she becomes stricter than the realistic initiatives. Cattle meat is a popular food across the world but India by any means arguing negative in the cases of Bangladesh. US state department unveils report that USA is the largest exporter and Brazil is the second in this line. India in the guise of cattle meat, sells buffalo meat to the two countries. Perhaps, she angers to Bangladesh, as Bangladeshis are not ready to have buffalo meat at all; they are habituated to have beef only that endangers India in her exporting policy. According to US agriculture department, India exports 2.4 million tons of total annual beef in Unites States of America every year. Brazil exports 2 million of meat from India. Australia is number three on this list. The amount of export stands 1.5 million ton each year. These three countries export 58.7% of the world's beef alone and the other countries export the rest of the amount. India exports alone 235% beef to consuming countries. Last year, this amount was 208% in India. Center for Monitoring Indian Economy reveals that India is the largest meat supplier country in the world that supplies 80% of beef to Asia, 15% in Africa and 5% to other countries. Meanwhile Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh became very much happy at the rise of meat price in Bangladesh, the dailies quoted. She claimed, it is India-Bangladesh border Protection helped to raise the price. What is good to India seems to be bad to Bangladesh, the observers commented. He also said, "It came to me in the high cattle smuggling, we were talking - I told Ambassador Border restrictions since the start of this 50 per cent increase in the price of the neighborhood. And I was happy." The minister, however, explained that with the people that he was not happy having to buy beef, she was happy to decreasing smuggling cattle from India. Reiterating the government's commitment to protect cows and buffaloes she said her government is a pro-people government. Majority Hindu sentiment doest not allow slaughtering cows and buffaloes.Indian history expert and professor in the university Kingshuk Chatterjee, however, opined that the Hindus were aware of the sensitivity of both the Mughals and the British.
