Bangladesh and India are facing each other in World Cup cricket on March 19. Pashwari tries to 'shorten' the friendly relations between these two countries. As done in a Pepsi ad. A recent ad for the soft drink Pepsi has portrayed Bangladesh as 'short'. The company made the advertisement keeping this match in front.

The critically-acclaimed 'Mooka Mooka' ad shows a boy with 'India' written on his chest sitting indoors drinking Pepsi. At this time, the doorbell of his house rang. Opened the door and saw a boy standing - 'Bangladesh' written on his chest. Puja flowers and prasad in the hands of that boy. The boy with 'India' written on his chest pointed his finger at the wall looking at him with disdain. At this time, a world map was also shown on the wall, where Bangladesh is seen next to India. It is written there - '1971, India created Bangladesh.' It means 'India created Bangladesh in 1971.' Then the boy with 'Bangladesh' written on his chest left with flowers at the feet of the boy with 'India' written on his chest.

After the advertisement was published on YouTube, there was a storm of criticism on social media. Some Bangladeshi youth have made a video footage in response to this ad. There, the scenes of the defeat of the Indian team against the Bangladesh cricket team have been shown. That was the 2007 World Cup and the 2012 Asia Cup.
