Political upheaval in Bangladesh has created new problems for neighboring India. On Monday, Indian border officials said they’d arrested dozens of Bangladeshis trying to enter the country to escape the unrest. Ousted Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India herself, having been a strong ally to Indian prime minister Narendra Modi. His government must now decide how to approach relations with Bangladesh’s new interim government.
Also, the new interim government says it is ‘gravely concerned’ about reported attacks on Hindu and other religious minorities. Religious rights groups say they have recorded over 200 such incidents since the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The new cabinet said it would immediately engage with communities and their representitives to find a solution. Hindus are the largest minority faith in the country, which is predominantly Muslim, and many of them are supporters of Sheikh Hasina’s party.
