Very poor article.The author should study more before writing anything in this issue.
on Nov 19, 2009A very low quality article....I am surprised to see this getting published in a magazine like Forbes. The author does not possess much insights on bilateral relations between Bangladesh and India nor is he aware of the real critical problems like the socio economic challenges faced by both the countries in the border areas. There are many more things important for solidifying ties between the two nations rather than pulling in China out of nowhere.
