How things change :
20 years ago it was believed that we mostly run on cattle imported from India. If that stops, we shall starve to death and find no cattle to slaughter on Eid.
People welcome Indian cattle import with joy. Specially when they watched news of incoming flow of Indian cattle before Eid.
While the Indian side watched this trend with rage.
5 years ago India-BJP-Modi ji stopped export of all indian cattle to Bangladesh. Surely now we shall all starve to death, right?
Wrong. A very large home grown cattle industry grew up in the mean time. Fully covering demand year round and for Eid.
Right now Indian cattle is the most unwanted thing here locally. Nobody wants it. Today's news : Border guard has been strengthened to prevent Indian cattle from entering Bangladesh. This was unthinkable five years back.
And who's starving to death? In other news : hundreds of cattle in India are starving to death as those now can't be sold in Bangladesh.
