The View From India Newsletter Lessons from the region

The Hindu  

South Asia doesn’t have to look far for crucial lessons in politics. From the coup in Myanmar, the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan in 2021, to the political ouster of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, by a people’s uprising, in 2022, to the more recent fall of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina following a formidable students’ protest, there are many to reflect on, as Suhasini Haidar writes in this analysis of the tumult in the region. “The old dictum that if you want to ‘raise crop for one year, plant corn…If you want to plant a crop for eternities, raise democracies’ holds true for India and its ties in the neighbourhood,” as Suhasini Haidar points out. Kallol Bhattacherjee examines Depending on how things unfold in the coming months as the interim government takes the reins of power, South Asia’s rising star is facing one of its biggest challenges to achieve a pluralistic society based on democratic principles, rule of law, good governance, inclusive growth, and human rights, writes Syed Munir Khasru. Amid reports of attacks on Bangladesh’s religious minorities, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with the Chief Adviser of the new interim government of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, and reiterated his call for safety and security of the “Hindus and all other minority communities” in Bangladesh, even as some, including Hindus, within Bangladesh urged Indian media not to sensationalise reports of such attacks.
