India’s tough vote in Bangladesh: Hasina over China, Joy Bangla over Jamaat

Firstpost  

That Sheikh Hasina remains India’s best bet in Bangladesh shows, at one level, the failure of diplomatic imagination or intent on its part In the coming Bangladesh elections, India does not have the luxury of NOTA, even if it secretly wishes it did. That Sheikh Hasina remains India’s best bet in Bangladesh shows, at one level, the failure of diplomatic imagination or intent on its part. And while the Teesta river treaty with India remains elusive because of Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s reluctance, China has been moving fast on a mega dredging project on the same river. Why does India negotiate hard with the United States — which is alarmed by China’s growing influence in Bangladesh and wants ‘free and fair’ polls — to leave the Awami League government alone?
