A controversy has erupted in India after Muhammad Yunus presented a book to a Pakistani general during his visit to Dhaka. The book’s cover reportedly displays a distorted map of Bangladesh that includes parts of India’s northeast region, sparking public outrage and political debate. The move has raised serious questions about Yunus’s intentions and the message he aimed to send through the gift. Is this a symbolic attempt to challenge India’s territorial integrity, or does it hint at growing cooperation between Pakistan and Bangladesh? Palki Sharma explores the controversy and its wider political implications.
