The removal of Hasina, who was often seen as India’s closest geopolitical partner in Bangladesh, represents a significant shift. Her government’s alignment with India had led to ambitious connectivity projects and the resolution of contentious territorial and water-sharing issues. India’s support for Hasina, despite her growing authoritarianism, and its push for reduced international pressure on her government, had further solidified this alliance.
As a result, Hasina has resigned, and the Bangladesh Army is now setting up an interim government, with the Army Chief calling for calm and stability. Reports suggest that Hasina is leaving Bangladesh for India. Her departure is a significant concern for India, which has seen Hasina as its closest geopolitical ally in Asia. The two countries have collaborated on major projects in connectivity and resolved contentious issues, fostering a strong partnership. India’s support for Hasina, despite her authoritarian tendencies, included pushing for reduced international pressure on her government.
