Seismic changes in Bangladesh over July and August 2024, which led to the flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India, also highlighted the fraught relationship between India and Bangladesh. India’s staunchest ally in the subcontinent is now in the danger of slipping its moorings. Sudeep Chakravarti, Professor of Practice at the School of Arts and Sciences, Ahmedabad University delivered a session on India & Bangladesh: The meltdown, the fallout, and the recalibration as part of the Social Sciences Divisional Seminar.
India’s strong ties with Bangladesh came undone on 5th August 2024 when Sheikh Hasina was deposed as head of the Bangladeshi state. Many Bangladeshis blamed India for being complicit in fostering a despotic, kleptocratic, and hammer-fist government. As Bangladesh seeks to bounce back from this historic ousting, Professor Chakravarti discusses how India will need to recalibrate its foreign policy attitude and practice towards Bangladesh.
