India’s hegemonic designs leading to growing resentment in Bangladesh against Modi regime
March 14, 2021
Dr. A. Z. Hilali (IR Expert): Since fascist Narendra Modi came into power in India, Bangladeshi government has been protesting to Indian government to control border violations, smuggling and human trafficking but New Delhi never took serious notice of such concerns. Like every nation state, Bangladesh has made it a priority to safeguard its national interests. There are various factors affecting Indo-Bangladesh bilateral relations ranging from migration issues, insurgent activities, border and trade disputes and the battle over the most fundamental resource water. A few months back, Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina refused to hold meeting with India’s high commissioner which is a clear sign of strained relations between the two countries.
