Are you even real??
India allowed the naval ships to shore on Indian ports as early as on 3rd of March when no one knew this war would become so consequential.
India has been providing humanitarian support to other countries without any expectations. We were first to provide the package to Turkey after the earthquake there though Turkey has always been Pro Pakistan (and continue to do so even after aid), provided grains to Bangladesh when the relations were historically at the lowest.
Idk who said that but i will be honest here, india does provide humanitarian help to other countries for long term strategic interests. But its not just india, other countries do the same for their own benefit. And whats wrong with that?? Nothing. Those countries receive humanitarian aid during crises, while india gains their trust, which can be valuable when we need support in the future. You never know how or when the geopolitical scenario might change, so its better to help others during difficult times.
Also, india helping bangladesh on various fronts (even though there have been incidents like the lynching of hindus) has its own advantages. India is trying its best to ensure that bangladesh does not fully align with either china or the USA. So yes, we do have our own strategic interests when we make deals with them or extend help.
People on social media criticize indian govt for helping bangladesh but they fail to understand that we also have areas where we can benefit from maintaining this relationship. Its not easy to break ties in today’s geopolitical world as people often assume. We should only consider cutting ties with pakistan as that remains our primary adversary. For other nations, its important to keep diplomatic relations intact.
