Dhaka, Aug 27 (IANS) Bangladesh-India relations have entered a complicated but consequential phase. Political developments in Bangladesh since 2024, unresolved water and border disputes, and persistent differences over trade and connectivity have created an impression that ties between Dhaka and Delhi are under unusual strain.

The challenge is not to restore an old model of bilateral engagement but to build a new one, grounded less in political proximity and more in equality, reciprocity, sovereignty, and clearly defined mutual interest. Bangladesh needs India, but India equally needs a stable, prosperous and cooperative Bangladesh, and recognising this mutual dependence could be the foundation for a more mature relationship.
