The Longest Fence - India

July 2009

A 2,000-mile fence is being built along the border of India and Bangladesh, to stop terrorists from crossing. Yet hundreds of innocent Bangladeshis and Indians have already been killed by Indian guards.
They shoot us over here, then they take the body onto the Indian side and say they were a smuggler, tells one Bangladeshi villager. In both Bangladeshi and Indian villages locals queue up with photos of their relatives, desperate to tell their stories of injury and loss. My son went to see his land one morning and they killed him. I went to the police but they said they couldnt register any case against the border security force. The National Project of Preventing Torture believes theres evidence that the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) are killing with complete impunity. They killed Indian Citizens. But in not a single case, has anyone been answerable.

BSF is doing its job. No Body should be allowed to cross border illegally.... good job BSF

How dare those cattle smugglers dishonor India in such a way by stealing our sacred cows to be butchered? They deserve to be castrated in public.

Good job, BSF. Continue protecting our nation and our honor.

The bangladeshi muslims cast their die in 1946-47 when they forcefully seceded and decided not to become a part of the indian union. Spare us now and if you need new places to go to : seek out your religious masters in Arabia or your friends in China.

I think the message is clear. Stay away from the border. The dead must have been slow learners.

@terraslim well yeah it does when terrorist organisation functioning from across the border are a threat so this is the solution why do you need to come to a country that you wanted to leave during 1947 they wanted a separate nation they have it now so what is the problem why cant they keep themselves to the land they desired so much and moreover we are billion a crowded country and wouldn't like to crowd it any more so they should stay in their home and not to infiltrate others......

@rahulforworld

first of all, even if it's illegal that's no excuse for shooting people. that is murder, plain and simple. second, the bsf mostly shoot innocent villagers, cattle herders and so on. watch the video. third, there is no legal way for the poor people living next to the border, they can't afford a passport. again, watch the video before shooting your mouth off. with your gullibility you help legitimize murder, think before you speak.

@dwdrule for your kind information, BSF 1st warn them. They shoot only if there is no option left.... I think legal way is good for trade and crossing activities.. I am not against Bangladeshis or Indian crossing boarder for trade and other good things but illegally many terrorists and religious islamic extremists also cross which is not good for both countries.

[dwdrule]

Maybe they can catch them rather than using guns? I know the world is kinda fucked up but to shoot ?

[dwdrule]

Actually Pakistan wanted a separate state from India due to fear of religious oppression. Bangladesh was born due to the political misunderstanding from Pakistan. If you look beyond the names/religion/region/tribes, they are still INDIA.
