Bangladesh issue has trapped Mamata

What does chaos create? Further chaos and matching instability. It creates several vested interest groups to add more fuel to the fire. Look at India's neighbour Bangladesh.

to judge the outcome of chaos. But the more important question is what helps breeding of chaos? Just look closely at the governance of Sheikh Hasina before she was forced to leave the country. Her government was trying to maintain a balance between the fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami members and progressive Bangladeshis. She did a tight rope walking in diplomatic and economic relations also, keeping both Chinese and Indian interests sufficiently appeased. But the problem started when in 2024 election the socalled liberal gang from the USA, backed by strong financiers like George Soros were acting against Hasina's re-election bid.

When the election result went in favour of Hasina, chaos was resorted to, for which there were Islamic fundamentalists, directionless youth and intellectuals and well known Bangladeshis who joined readily without realising where they were heading to. Oust Hasina campaign easily flared up with so many ready fodders available.
