Hindus in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, Yunus, Asim Munir, China & More | ANI Podcast | EP-377

In this episode of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, we are joined by Constantino Xavier, Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy and Security Studies at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP), and Dinkar Srivastava, former diplomat and Distinguished Fellow at the Vivekananda International Foundation. They discuss the upcoming elections in Bangladesh, the future of the Awami League, and the role of Sheikh Hasina. The conversation also revolves around at growing concerns about minorities, including Hindus in Bangladesh. Is there a rising wave of Islamisation? And how should India move forward in its ties with Dhaka? Pakistan is also in focus. The guests talk about the rise of Asim Munir, the new boss of all things military and nuclear in Pakistan. Can the threat of another terror attack from Pakistan be ruled out? The episode also explores how China and the United States are shaping choices in South Asia, and what India’s response should be in a changing regional scenario. #anipodcast #smitaprakash #bangladesh #sheikhhasina #pakistan Timestamps 00:00 – Coming Up 02:27 – Introduction 04:12 – Why Asim Munir Took CDF Role 08:21 – The Fall of Pervez Musharraf 10:10 – Can Pakistan Attack India Again? 17:30 – Will Bangladesh Hold Elections in February 2026? 28:04 – Imran Khan vs Asim Munir 35:06 – Rising Islamisation in Bangladesh 46:47 – Rohingya Crisis Explained 49:42 – Role of Pakistan Army in Politics 54:30 – When ISI Trained Guns on Dinkar Srivastava 01:14:07 – Anti-India Sentiment in Bangladesh 01:26:17 – India as the Standard in Pakistan 01:32:42 – India’s Neighbourhood Strategy Join ANI's YouTube membership to get access to perks:    / @aninewsindia   Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: https://bit.ly/2UV4ygi -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia's leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
