What should #India brace for during the #Bangladesh crisis?

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina’s ouster comes at a critical juncture for India. Hasina had been a key ally for India, helping foster key defence, economic and cultural ties between the two neighbours.

India is currently contending with an aggressive China and a hostile Pakistan on the western front. With the chaos now also ensuing in Bangladesh, India will have to contend with volatility on its eastern border as well.

Bangladesh is India’s 25th largest trading partner. India has made significant investments in the region over the last two decades. The bilateral trade currently stands at $12.9 billion.

Recently, India also secured the operational rights of the strategic Mongla port. All that goes into jeopardy due to the political flux in the country, with fears of growing Chinese influence, and ISI interference gaining strength.

India shares more than 4000 kilometres of border with Bangladesh in West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram. There has been a constant influx of people from across the border throughout these decades, more so during periods of volatility. Experts have expressed concerns over the potential spillover.

With Hasina’s departure, India will have to navigate its way through a plethora of diplomatic and strategic challenges on multiple fronts. It can ill afford the creation of another hostile enemy waiting in the wings. It remains to be seen whether the ongoing situation in Bangladesh evolves to India’s benefit or detriment.
