Map gifted by Yunus to a Pakistan General shows Northeast India as part of Bangladesh!
The Island
|October 28, 2025
Bangladesh's interim head Muhammad Yunus has sparked a row after a controversial map gifted to a Pakistani General. His gift included a distorted map of Bangladesh, which includes Assam and other northeastern states as part of the country.
The gift was presented to Pakistan's High Commissioner Vice Admiral (Retd) Muhammad Fayyaz Gilani by Yunus Khan, President of Bihar Bengal and parts of Bihar.
The gift was presented to Pakistan's Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairperson, General Sahir Shamshad Mirza during his visit to Dhaka.
The image of the gift, which was shared on Yunus' official X account shows a book, titled "Art of Triumph: Bangladesh's new dawn" - which can be seen as an ode to the August 2024 student movement which toppled the Sheikh Hasina government.
However, the distorted map has sparked a row. The map depicts concept of 'Greater Bangladesh.’
‘Greater Bangladesh’ is a concept championed by Dhaka-based Islamist outfit "Sultanate-Bangla". This map of Bangladesh includes India's entire Northeast region, West Bengal, and parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, as well as Myanmar's Arakan state.
