India should look for more intelligent ways of relating to its neighbours, especially Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Southeast and Southwest Asia. I think India should remove all restrictions on the movement of goods as well as people between India and Bangladesh. Both the US and the EU account for a larger proportion of their neighbours’ exports than imports. It accounts for tiny shares of its neighbours’ trade, and is more a supplier to them than a market. Why does India’s trade with Bangladesh account for a much smaller share of its neighbour’s than is normal for big countries?
