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.
Do you know the amount of aid Palestine has recd in past ?
Contextual Totals:
- Total International (1994–2020): >$40 billion
- U.S. Assistance (1993–2023): >$7.6 billion
- UN Agencies in Gaza (2014–2020): ~$4.5 billion
- Other Estimates (Past 30 years): >$50 billion
and the extremists still receive aid after Oct 7 Israel itself sends aid
None of us can see their plight despite the fact that they turnaround and use most of the aid for violent ends. 
India’s humanity has always been exemplary. We have sent aid to Bangladesh despite their Nobel laureate leader wanted to tie up with China and Pakistan and attack us to destroy us and even spoke of that on his exit.
Clochette - Any thoughts on why they Islamic extremists and the “largely peaceful majority” continue to need aid, assistance and asylum all over the world more than any other community globally ?
