Why Is Anti-India Sentiment Rising Again in Bangladesh?

Описание: Anti-India rhetoric has resurfaced in Dhaka, with opposition leaders raising concerns over water sharing, connectivity projects and Bangladesh’s economic situation. Four major issues are driving the renewed tension.

First, the Ganga Water Treaty, signed in 1996, expires on December 12, 2026, and Bangladesh wants a larger share of the river’s water. Second, Japan-backed connectivity plans have triggered allegations that the Tarique Rahman government could facilitate an Indian transit corridor—claims Dhaka has disputed. Third, economic pressure, including weak exports and a World Bank growth forecast of 3.4% for FY2025–26, has added to public discontent.

The fourth issue is Sheikh Hasina, who remains in India and has said she plans to return to Bangladesh in December. With a death sentence against her in a crimes-against-humanity case, her possible return has further complicated domestic politics. The big question is how Tarique Rahman will balance these pressures while managing relations with India.
