BILATERAL TIES between India and Bangladesh are going through a turbulent phase. Two years after the collapse of the Sheikh Hasina-led Bangladesh government, her presence and statements from Indian soil have once again created tension between the two countries.

The incumbent government in Bangladesh, led by Tarique Rahman, has been planning a bilateral visit, but this has been marred by the current tensions. This situation has raised several questions:

  • How much does Sheikh Hasina’s shadow impact ties?
  • How does PM Tarique Rahman view the current situation?
  • How can India and Bangladesh reset and repair their relationship?
  • Should India be concerned about the security situation in Bangladesh?
  • Can Delhi and Dhaka collaborate on economic and development projects?
  • How do China and Pakistan perceive and influence the current situation in Bangladesh?
