Dr. Happymon Jacob discusses the results of the recent general elections in Bangladesh with Veena Sikri, who served as India’s High Commissioner to Bangladesh from December 2003 to November 2006.
The conversation also looks at what these results will mean for India-Bangladesh relations. What is the current state of relations between the two countries and how will this change with increasing Chinese forays into South Asia? What can India learn from its relations with Bangladesh and apply its learnings to its policies towards other regional neighbours?
