why does it sound offensive ? even if it is, it is true. many Indians used to have similar attitude towards US, many still do. it's quite usual for how people react.
as for WB joining BD, why shouldn't BD join India and become part of a future superpower ?
it's very arguable whether BD got have achieved independence on its own. you need a handle on military affairs to understand that the situation was not same as vietnam, which was supported full fledgedly by a superpower and a regional power. vietcong also controlled half the country from where it could operate an air force and offer permanent bases for its army. MB had no such advantage if India did not support it. as it is many MB fighters were trained by India. without external help there was little chance for MB to bring independence on its own, I say that with all respect for their bravery and valour. to understand how it would have been, look at the balochis. they have been fighting for independence since 1947 without making any headway. whenever the balochi forces become strong, pak army comes and bombs the residences of their leaders. no one in the international community gives a damn.
had MB been fighting alone PA would have simply killed enough to stop them.

like whom ? the west and china was strongly in support of pakistan. as were the muslim countries. US even sent the 7th fleet of the US navy headed by the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise to get India to back down from interfering in pak army's genocide.
