In this episode of Politics, Hemant discusses the growing tensions between India and Bangladesh, particularly along their border areas. Recently, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Commander Lieutenant Colonel Rafique Islam claimed that Bangladesh has taken control of a 5-kilometer stretch near the Kodalia River in West Bengal, raising concerns about border security. Hemant explores the broader implications of this development, focusing on the historical context of India-Bangladesh relations, the impact of recent political changes in Bangladesh, and the rising border tensions. The episode delves into the intricate issues surrounding border fencing, smuggling, and the rise of illegal infiltration along the India-Bangladesh border, especially in the regions of Tripura, Assam, and West Bengal. The fencing project is seen as crucial to curb smuggling of goods like cattle and hilsa fish. However, the BGB has objected to the fencing, leading to heated exchanges between the Border Security Force (BSF) and the BGB. Additionally, Hemant examines the growing concerns over the worsening security situation in Bangladesh, including attacks on Hindu minorities, and how it has affected cross-border trade and travel. With both countries' economic ties heavily intertwined, the episode also looks at Bangladesh's increasing reliance on China and Pakistan, and how these geopolitical shifts could impact India’s strategic interests in the region. The video sheds light on how India's foreign policy might evolve in response to these challenges and discusses whether tighter security measures similar to those on the China and Pakistan borders will be needed on the Bangladesh border.
