India’s assertive stance suggests that its interest in shaping Bangladesh’s political landscape is not limited to rhetoric, but is part of a larger geopolitical agenda. Such statements not only reflect a shared ideology but also indicate the possibility of further international interference in Bangladesh’s affairs. The growing alignment of India with influential voices in the West, particularly the U.S., signals a future where Bangladesh’s sovereignty may be tested by political interests that seek to shape its internal dynamics. While alliances and partnerships are essential, Bangladesh must ensure these do not come at the cost of national autonomy. As regional and global powers jockey for influence, Bangladesh’s leadership must remain focused on safeguarding the nation’s interests, now more than ever.
