Why is Bangladesh considered a country that repays kindness with enmity? What did it do to make the Indians who once helped it cry without tears?

Let's start with the history of India's development. Britain used to have a large number of colonies, one of which was British India. After experiencing two world wars, Britain's power was rapidly weakened and its status was far less than before, so it was also facing the embarrassing situation of losing British colonies. British India also wanted to take this opportunity to break away from British jurisdiction. Although the British governor in India was facing the embarrassing situation of packing up and leaving at the time, he also used his last power to create fierce conflicts in the British Indian region and buried huge hidden dangers, that is, the introduction of the infamous Mountbatten Plan.

The so-called Mountbatten Plan was to divide British India into two places for governance, which are now India and Pakistan as we can see on the map. In the past, Pakistan and Bangladesh were one country, located in the west and east of India respectively, called West Pakistan and East Pakistan. They formed a situation of attacking India from both sides, which was a headache for India.
