"A priest is a shepherd, the world is a wolf".
The Metaphor
The Priest as Shepherd: A spiritual leader (priest, pastor, parent, teacher) responsible for guiding, feeding, protecting, and uniting their people (flock).
The World as Wolf: Represents evil, division, false teachings, or harmful influences that threaten the flock.
The Conflict: Do shepherds build walls to keep wolves out, or do they go out to save the lost ??

Bangladesh is in turmoil. Let's call it a part of pre-election episode in the entire series and these will continue !!
Polls have been announced in February 2026?
Vital questions -- What will interim chief advisor Yunus benefit after the polls? The same yardstick applies to his sponsors including the Deep State ? There is every possibility - the BNP will do better than any other party.
Jamaat also has its own sets of expectations.
Things to watch -- How would Awami League supporters and cadres align and with whom ?
Vital Poser -- What is and what will be the role of Bangladesh army during and after the elections?
For Yunus and the newly floated NCP - they need time to 'consolidate' their position.
The NCP is at best .... a party with support base in Dhaka and Chattogram; they need to expand base across Bangladesh.
Merely - Sheikh Hasina bashing has a limitation. It could be like the Hindi saying - "Aata Nahi Ghar mein. Mummy puri banao".
It is clear - things are at make or break stage for the NCP and Yunus and also the Deep State and other interested foreign powers.
Thus; India-bashing is a good tool politically.
About the growing control of Islamists in Bangladesh, the parliamentary panel headed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor pointed out that Jamat-e-Islami, which was previously banned, has had its electoral registration reinstated, which will enable it to participate in the upcoming elections.

"The continuing ban on the Awami League will obviously call into question the inclusiveness of any future elections in Bangladesh," the panel pointed out.
The committee has expressed concern about a recalibration of Bangladesh's relation with Pakistan and the expanding footprint of China -- especially in terms of infrastructure, port development, and defence-related cooperation.
In this context, it cited projects like the expansion of Mongla Port , Lalmonirhat Airbase, and the submarine base at Pekua that is capable of accommodating eight submarines when Bangladesh has only two.
Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son and advisor of ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has warned that the interim government in Dhaka, led by Muhammad Yunus, is attempting to install an Islamic regime and that the country’s deteriorating security situation poses a direct threat to India.
In an email interview with 'The Indian Express', Wazed said --
“Elections with the largest party, the Awami League, and the third-largest party, the Jatiya Party, being barred from participating disenfranchises half the voters of the country. This is going to be a rigged election".
Pendulum has swung. India should have been more practical and more far-sighted post-1971. For 15 years, things were with us because of Hasina factor.
The emergence of Bangladesh proved religion alone cannot be basis for forming one or two nations. Helping East Pakistan transition was perhaps not a mistake; but the lapses were in other areas.
One of them was -- after Bangladesh was created; India presumed that the 'thought process' of the new nation would be different. It won't be so radicalised; so much of anti-kafir.
We never presumed within decades Bangladeshis would forget the torture and forgive their tormentors and seek greater cooperation with Pakistan.
