Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus presented controversial "Art of Triumph" artwork depicting "Greater Bangladesh" including India's northeastern states, particularly Assam to a visiting Turkish parliamentary delegation, following a similar presentation to Pakistan commanders. Intelligence sources claim the document contained "battle plans" and "post-victory management frameworks" for transforming Assam under Dhaka's influence. Experts view this as deliberate ideological signaling toward transnational Islamist networks rather than accidental provocation. The gesture aligns with Turkey's pan-Islamist South Asian outreach through military cooperation, drone technology, and defence partnerships since early 2024. Sources describe it as the first overt territorial ambition hint from Dhaka's interim government, marking sharp rhetorical escalation that India's security establishment monitors closely.
