I am afraid of Muslim invasion (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan) to India.. could be worthless if that migration it's not controlled on near future.
Modi should have this matter immediately investigated thoroughly through reliable, honest investigators and then arrest and punish the dishonest culprits in the corrupt Indian border military for instigating the unnecessary border conflict without respecting the 1962 line of control which brought shame through dishonesty not only to Modi but also to the whole nation. The strong foundation of a nation is built on honesty not on dishonesty.

Myanmar Rohingya militants massacred Hindus, says Amnesty
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44206372
It is absolutely unlogical even just to think the most helpless, almost annihilated Rohingya carrying out a massacre upon Hindu on top of themself almost being wiped out by Myanmar.
Myanmar should not be fooling around with other nation spreading fake and made-up news because other nations are not foolish neither to be easily cheated by the made-up news of culprit Myanmar.
Everyone should take a moment to feel in the shoe of Rohingya currently suffering helplessly who have clearly no future, thanks to the inhumane atrocities carried out by culprit Myanmar.
Time to unleash immediate punishment actions upon the greatest Evildoer Myanmar by showering it with the first punishment step of comprehensive sanctions on Myanmar.
Thousands of Rohingya rape victims expected to give birth

So people in Bangladesh should be mostly descended from India Hindu. Bangali and Rohingya are the same race.
However, while Rohingya in Myanmar are suffering inhumane atrocities.
Instead of helping India's brotherly Rohingya, India Modi is racing to help the sick Myanmar unreasonably while ignoring the genocide of his bloodline Rohingya.
Seems only US care about the welfare of Rohingya while another sick China persuading UN members to ignore the suffering of Rohingya.
So it is time for India to lead UN against sick China and punish Myanmar accordingly for its crime against humanity.
As soon as India announced bean import quotas from Myanmar before. Shameless Myanmar immediately raised the price of bean which India is going to purchase.
This kind of dishonestly from shameless Myanmar not only harm the local consumer in Myanmar but also the interest of India.
In order to help the local consumer in Myanmar not to be affected with overpricing by the dishonestly of Myanmar, India should clarify the price at which India is going to purchase which is not higher than the then bean price at the time of announcing bean import quotas. Or else India should altogether stop purchasing bean from Myanmar for fairness sake.
