Explain any five points of conflict between India and Bangladesh
Answers
Answer:
The issues of tension (negative aspects) between India and Bangladesh are:
Sharing of river waters of Ganga and Brahmaputra.
Indian Government is not happy with Bangladesh refusal to act on unlawful immigration to India.
Bangladesh’s support to anti-Indian Islamic fundamentalist groups.
Bangladesh refused to allow Indian troops to move through its territory to the North-East region.
The issues of cooperation (positive aspects) between both countries are :
From the last decade, economic relations have been strengthened.
India’s Look East Policy does involve Bangladesh that links South-East Asia via Myanmar.
Cooperation is noticeable on the grounds of disaster management and environmental issues.
Area of cooperation is being broadened by identifying areas of common threat and by responding sensitively to each other’s needs.
Chances for improvement in relationships: Today India and Bangladesh are partners of progress and development and our destinies are, in a sense, becoming increasingly intertwined. This is also a manifestation of India’s ‘Neighbours First’ policy that stems from the realisation that for India’s continued growth and development, the entire region needs to prosper.
