Bangladesh is strengthening its strategic ties with China, securing major investments and infrastructure projects like the Mongla port upgrade. This shift comes as Dhaka distances itself from India, with growing nationalist sentiment fueling tensions. The deepening China-Bangladesh partnership could reshape regional dynamics and challenge India’s traditional dominance in South Asia.
Unfortunately India isn’t doing itself any favors in Bangladesh. It’s true that there was anti-Indian element to the protests that overthrew Sheikh Hasina, but the revolution was primary concerned with domestic factors. India’s hostile reaction towards Hasina’s ouster has only further poisoned relations with no possible gain.
It is a well thought exercise to keep India under pressure. Especially when Shiekh Hasina extradition is on the cards.
It’s very important to spread risks and have more international partners for developing nations like Bangladesh and partnering with the upcoming largest economy in the world is a non brainer.
