Hats off to Bangladesh from India

The whole world is watching the Rohingya crisis explode; however, it is unfortunate that no country except for Bangladesh has taken any substantive action or decision to address this problem.

There was a time when I had naively thought that Bangladesh was largely a land of poor people which is why Bangladeshis continue to migrate to other countries in pursuit of a better life. I am delighted to have been proven wrong at least over the last five years, during which, I have seen Bangladesh make remarkable progress in many different fields.

In regards to the Rohingya crisis, Bangladeshis have really won our hearts. The support that Bangladesh is providing to the helpless Rohingya refugees in spite of its own problems is definitely praiseworthy. Much respect to Bangladesh from India. And hats off to Bangladesh for doing what is right, irrespective of the circumstances.
