On 5th August 2024, Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign from the post of Prime Minister of Bangladesh and flee the country due to protests by students against the quota system which is said to favour loyalists of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League. In the aftermath, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus became the interim Prime Minister. Violence in Bangladesh has not died down completely as some conservative members are now targeting the minority Hindu community.
India and Bangladesh shared a robust relationship under the government of Sheikh Hasina. Economically, India supported Bangladesh with trade concessions and low interest lines of credit. Bangladesh is a major buyer of Indian electricity earning significant revenue.
The coup in Bangladesh creates more uncertainty in India’s neighbourhood. This will force India to increase its defence expenditure. This is detrimental for as a developing country, India has to focus on other areas like education and health.
After elections there is a chance that Khalida Zia’s Bangladesh National Party may come to power which is anti-India. India is also concerned about the situation of Hindu minorities and has formed a committee to monitor the situation.
Major changes are taking place in Bangladesh and its impacts would be felt in India in the coming times.
