What connects the violence in Bangladesh and the ‘new Quad’
FirstpostA new collaboration of the United States, India, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates has been created focused on economic and developmental cooperation in healthcare, investment, climate change, energy, and other allied matters. This has been described as the ‘new Quad’, to differentiate from the older Quad of India, US, Australia, and Japan in the Indo-Pacific. The Islamist narrative increasingly ties India, the US and Israel, as hardline Pakistani commentators love to expound, as somehow impediments to their ‘true path’. The new Quad, therefore, provides scope for developing a different story, away from the constant focus on the Taliban and the spread of Islamist violence across the South Asian region, and the parts of the region becoming an expanding hub of supporting and assisting the spread of jihad. For its possibilities, and even its sheer optics, then, the new Quad is an important method to counter the rising tide of Islamist violence in South Asia and in other parts of the world.
