Analysis and commentary on Bangladesh's political economy, foreign policy, and strategic affairs.
India's Bangladesh policy is driven by short-term electoral calculations—Hindu persecution narratives, anti-Bangladesh rhetoric, and support for a controllable ally—at catastrophic cost to India's long-term strategic interests.
A critical analysis of India's 'limited strikes' doctrine from 2016-2025, examining whether operations achieve stated military objectives or primarily serve as electoral tools for the ruling BJP.
BJP's Hindu nationalist project mirrors the authoritarian decay that consumed Awami League Bangladesh. When electoral defeats come—and they will—the manufactured hatred toward Pakistan and China, though politically useful, is militarily unactionable. This creates dangerous pressure for 'manageable' conflicts, making limited strikes and potential false flag operations the preferred tools of a declining regime.
