Hey everyone, this post is purely for educational purposes—to shed light on what really went down behind the scenes. Let’s talk about the recent fair and long-overdue election in Bangladesh.
India tried hard to meddle in our elections, but not out of any genuine concern for Bangladesh’s well-being, not to protect minorities, and definitely not for any noble reasons. It was all about pursuing their own dirty, self-serving interests in the most underhanded way imaginable.
What India really wanted? An unstable government in Dhaka. And in their eyes, the perfect recipe for chaos was propping up the NCP-led Jamaat alliance. They knew full well that this combination—NCP and Jamaat—would be a ticking time bomb: enough internal friction to keep any government shaky, wreck national progress, and trample on the things Bangladeshis hold dear. On top of that, they figured these groups wouldn’t be able to resist targeting minorities, giving India the perfect excuse to stir up international outrage, paint Bangladesh as a villain, and rally condemnation from their Western allies and the global community.
A lot of India’s influence played out online. They pushed and amplified content from the NCP-Jamaat camp, including stuff that openly incited violence. On the ground, they threw visible support behind the BNP before the election—only to make sure everyone saw the BNP as “India’s puppet.” That was the same label that had already made people despise the Awami League.
But here’s the reality check: Bangladeshis aren’t easily fooled anymore. We faced a flood of fake news, doctored content, and biased “political analyses” online every single day. Yet genuine support for real change kept growing stronger. Internet-based election meddling just doesn’t work the same way here—our people see through the noise.
And let’s be real: no major online shift happens without Western backing these days. It’s undeniable that Western powers had their fingers in the pie too—nothing moves in the digital space without their nod. But in the end, India’s attempts flopped spectacularly. The election went ahead fairly, the people spoke loud and clear, and any hopes of engineering instability crashed and burned.
This is a reminder: Bangladesh’s future belongs to its people—not to foreign powers pulling strings from afar. Sovereignty isn’t negotiable.
