Abstract

The article investigates Narendra Modi’s Bangladesh policy and India–Bangladesh relations under his regime. It challenges the conventional wisdom that when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Awami League (AL) regime are in power, India and Bangladesh do not enjoy warm relations and argues the opposite. It contends that water issue and dynamics of domestic politics work as major challenges in forging India–Bangladesh relations. On the contrary, it also identifies opportunities to further strengthen the bilateral relations. It finds that there are a number of untapped potentials that need to be explored and be exploited. It is of greater interest for both India and Bangladesh to foster the bilateral relations based on mutual understanding, respect and reciprocity.
