The Questionnaire for Email Interview
1) India seems to lack clarity on how to deal with post-Hasina Dhaka. How far do you agree that it was India’s flawed diplomacy to count on one individual politician instead of nurturing strong people-to-people relations?
2) The issue of minorities has further strained India-Bangladesh relations, which are already tense due to the interim government's rhetoric and foreign policy choices led by Muhammad Yunus. Do you agree?
3) What should India do as Pakistan and Bangladesh get close, and are seeking help?
4. Growing Chinese Influence adds a geopolitical dimension to India-Bangladesh bilateral tensions. Do you agree?
5. A return to the status quo in Delhi–Dhaka ties is unlikely, and arguably unviable given the changed external and internal realities. How far is it true?
Please take a look at the attached document for the Interview.
