Abstract

This research examines how the fear of Muslims and the politics of majoritarianism in India affects bilateral overtures between Bangladesh and India, based on areas of cooperation in trade, infrastructure, energy, and security, as well as existing conflicts over trans-boundary water resources, territory, and security issues—evidenced by secondary research data, including peer-reviewed articles, government documents, and newspaper articles and political speeches’ discourse analysis. The study shows that Islamophobia in India has damaged the relations between the two countries, which has affected cooperation in projects and escalated tensions. This paper provides policymakers and regional organizations with essential knowledge to reduce conflict and promote regional unity and cohesion. In this way, this research adds fresh ideas to the changes in bilateral relations of South Asian countries by discussing an unfamiliar factor affecting the region.
