I will give you another piece of information as people are easily misinformed. Sheikh Hasina has fled. The current honorable Army chief is her cousin sister's husband, who is eldest daughter of General Mustafiz, another former army chief, and Sheikh Hasina's uncle. So i would say to everyone not to make strategic meaning of everything they find on Internet.
Ngl that is such an Indian behavior.

Is there a chance that "East Pakistan" can be returned to Pakistan after all this turmoil? I'm just curious.

I'm not a Bangladeshi BUT from the outside looking in " NO" , it boils down to economics, Bangladesh is a bit richer than Pakistan so what can they offer to entice them to form a Union especially as Pakistan is facing an economic crisis.
They could offer nuclear weapons

political instability is the last thing a developing country needs and cannot afford.
good governance and accountability, economic development, and equal opportunity for all just to name a few are necessary ingredients to propel a country forward to achieve overall prosperity.
I hope Bangladesh can shake off its political confusion and "internal turmoil" soon enough to avoid being exploited any further by a third party.

I personally don't believe the Bangladesh protests were a color revolution. Here's why.

Color revolutions are always fixed firmly on the front page of BBC, CNN, and the NYT. They stay there for weeks and months. See Ukraine and Hong Kong.

Every time a color revolutionary is pushed by a policeman, the NYT runs a multi-part series on how that evil policeman committed genocide. BBC creates a 20-minute video investigation on the crime against humanity that was committed when that poor color revolutionary was shoved.

For Bangladesh, I didn't see a single front-page headline in any Western media outlet about the protests. BBC and CNN completely ignored them and were remarkably uninterested. This is the equivalent of Naruto completely ignoring a restaurant full of steaming, beautiful, fragrant ramen. It is impossible.

Thus, I believe that the Bangladesh protests were not a color revolution. Here's a guide.

SituationBBC/CNN/NYT CoverageColor Revolution?
Policeman shoves a protestor.Two weeks of front-page investigations into this monstrous crime against humanity.

Conclusion? The shoving was genocide.
Ding Ding Ding!!!!!
Half a thousand protesters die and the government is overthrown.Event put on page A3.No, it's a real revolution.

"Sheikh Hasina is a Muslim but pursued a course of friendly relations with President Narendra Modi’s India and protected Bangladeshi Hindus. Sheikh Hasina also pursued a policy of friendly relations with Russia and China. Now that she has been overthrown, many fear a genocide against Bangladeshi Hindus.

Sheikh Hasina had openly accused the Biden Regime of seeking to topple her government with a “color revolution.”

On March 20, 2022, former US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland visited Bangladesh, “aiming to force Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government to align with the US-NATO war drive against Russia,” WSWS reported. With a population of 171 million, Bangladesh has gone from being one of the world’s poorest countries to a successful textiles exporter, primarily to the US and EU. At the same time, Hasina was reluctant to loosen ties with Russia, which supplies wheat, fertilizer, machinery, fresh and dried fruit, and is constructing Bangladesh’s biggest power plant, worth $13.48 billion, the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, financed by a Russian government loan of $12.65 billion, WSWS wrote.

Since the beginning of the Ukraine War, the Biden administration has been exerting pressure on Bangladesh to support NATO and the USA, in the name of “promoting democracy”. In 2023, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced sanctions against individuals “undermining the democratic election process” in Bangladesh. PM Sheikh Hasina accused the Biden Regime of seeking “regime change” and of “trying to eliminate democracy” in her country.

In May 2024, Sheikh Hasina accused the US of seeking to partition Bangladesh. “The same month, she revealed she had been offered an easy victory in elections held in January in exchange for permission to an unnamed Western power to build up an airbase on Bangladesh’s St. Martin’s Island in the Bay of Bengal. Her government rejected the proposal, sticking with its longstanding “malice to none” foreign and security policy, which rules out joining any military blocs”, Sputnik News reports.

The US Agency for Global Media’s Voice of America supported a boycott of elections in January, which Hasina won. State Department spokesman Mathew Miller then claimed the election was “not free or fair.”

Russia has accused Biden Regime Ambassador Peter Haas of interfering in Bangladesh’s internal affairs by aiding anti-government rallies and meeting with opposition leaders. Haas resigned in July 2024 and left the country without thanking the Bangladeshi government, considered an affront in diplomatic circles.

Sheikh Hasina is now speaking out after her ouster last week.

Hasina blames the US for her ouster and for running a color revolution that brought death and chaos to the country."
