My quick, brief thoughts on Bangladesh right now

 INDIA, 5th Aug., 2024:

My quick note on BANGLADESH: In the light of the latest developments in Bangladesh: I think the Bangladeshi army, rather than trying to discuss policy specifics, ought to facilitate the putting in place of systemic best practices in a democracy. Of course, India's immediate priorities ought to be the safety of our diplomatic and other communities there, and our border areas and states. One hopes that the army does not go into policy specifics with anyone...let democracy be rung in and prevail (systems for free and fair elections; judicial systems; local-government institutions; freedom of the press; a proper balance of the wings of state) Let the new government then look at policy matters, esp. taking forward women's rights.
