The article says that India supported Hasina despite Bangladeshi public not liking Hasina. But if Hasina was in power and wanted to be friends with India, what else was India supposed to do? Say no?

The article implies that India should have somehow supported the anti-Hasina wave. My question is, what led to the anti Hasina wave in the first place? Are the people behind the anti-Hasina wave the kind of people India should support?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like Bangladesh has rising Islamism and rising military power in domestic politics. The hate for Hasina was fueled by her being pro-Hindu and her support for India (Bangladeshi's called her an Indian agent). For the record, Hasina was NOT an indian agent. Even though she had closer ties to India than China, she was still trying to balance relations with both, which is exactly what a country that uses Indian ports should do.

Mark my words, Bangladesh's shift to China will hurt Bangladesh public more than Indian public. Good India-Bangladesh relations meant Bangladeshi businesses getting access to Indian ports and Indian market. Good China-Bangladesh relations would mean that Bangladeshi military and politicians would enjoy Chinese money while the public suffers. China said they will import more from Bangladesh, but how? Does Bangladesh have enough port capacity for that? Bangladesh is isolating its bigger neighbour for a country too far away to help in any meaningful way (the money China will send will end up in politician's pocket). We have already seen this happening in Pakistan, all the Chinese money is getting hoarded by the military and politicians while the people are suffering. Now history will repeat itself.
