We are no less than family

Bangladesh may not be very rich but the nice ambiance inside the embassy and a healthy conversation revealed the warm hospitality. B&E caught up with the gentleman, Enamul Hoque Chowdhury, a senior Embassy official in New Delhi who revealed interesting facets to share. Some excerpts:

“5 things Bangladesh appreciates about India...”

EDUCATION: Indian education system is among the best in the continent and at par with that of some of the developed countries. Institutes like IITs, IIMs and even private colleges are world class. Bangladesh would be grateful to have them in their country. The government is ready to consider its regulations in that regard.

HEALTH CARE SYSTEM: Like education, in health care also, India is in the league of top countries. Be government or private hospitals, they are truly world class and hence attract lakhs of medical tourists from across the world. It is cheap and easily accessible. Thousands of people from Bangladesh visit India every year for medical treatments.

PEOPLE: Indians are truly generous, unlike India’s polity and policies! There is lot to learn from Indians on how to prosper in a diverse society. Achieving unexpected pace of growth with such a huge population is praiseworthy and beneficial for the region and the world at large.

HUGE YOUTH POPULATION: A country with 300-400 million youth population raises high expectation. Bangladesh looks forward to India to participate and contribute more in world leadership with such a massive talent pool.

INDIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM: India’s biggest achievement is perhaps its democratic government. Bangladesh has a lot to learn from it. “And the 5 things we dislike...”

BE MORE RESPONSIBLE: Bangladesh often feels that India behaves like a Big Brother while it expects India to be more generous. For example, Bangladesh takes Indian students according to the SAARC quota to provide them free higher education while even after being such a big country and economically progressing, India still hesitates to take students from Bangladesh or other neighbouring countries.

INTERVIEW: IRANIAN AMBASSADOR TO INDIA

Iran has come through a lot and is now looking at the future with dreamy eyes. And now its relations with India matter

That’s why for more than 20 years, we have challenged each other. But at present, we want change. We want peace. For that they have got to trust us and we both have to respect each other. In public they say, they want close relations with Iran and will change their policy, but at the same time they impose economic sanctions against us. Iran has always tried its best to maintain good relations and spread peace and prosperity in the region, in other countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and Tajikistan.

B&E: Despite organisations like the Arab League or Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), Islamic countries continue to be a divided lot. What role can Iran play in uniting them.

SM: Iran is already a member of a number of international organisations like OIC, Shanghai Cooperation Organization and SAARC. But one must understand that it is not only the Islamic countries which need to be united.

Infact, the whole of the Asian continent needs to be together and work together. This century belongs to Asia-not only because of the enrichment of their natural resources but also because of a vast pool of young and talented population. Many of the European countries, with negative growth of population are inviting our people to their countries. So in short, we have to share and support each other to make a broad Asian institution which will benefit both.

B&E: Israel and the US say that Iran interferes in Lebanon’s internal politics through Syria. How do you defend yourself?

SM: See, Lebanon has its own government. Some part of the land is occupied by Israel and the people of Lebanon are trying to get it back. Getting their rights back is the truth. If you go through history you will understand that Israelis came from outside and that they have no right to occupy the land. Now the Lebanese need justice and giving back the land to them is the truth.
