Following the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the establishment of an interim government led by Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus, there has been a rise in purposely fueled anti-India sentiment among the Bangladeshi population. In the wake of the Sheikh Hasina government's fall in August, there have been reports indicating that the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) has adopted a more assertive stance along the India-Bangladesh border. This shift is partly due to recent incidents and rising tensions between the two countries. For example, there have been clashes and increased vigilance from both sides, leading to a more aggressive posture by the BGB. The Border Security Force (BSF) has asked its Bangladeshi counterpart, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), to "prevent" citizens of the neighbouring country from illegally entering India. The BSF has increased its vigilance and patrols along the border to prevent illegal activities and respond to any aggressive actions by the BGB. Specific incidents, such as the death of civilians or border guards, can indeed escalate tensions. These incidents often lead to a cycle of retaliation and increased aggression.Given the history of Islamic radicals crossing over in border areas, India has heightened security concerns, and wishes to protect its borders and prevent illegal crossings.Changes in the political landscape in Bangladesh, especially with the rise of parties less favourable to India, have influenced the BGB’s aggressive approach towards India. These developments are concerning for both nations, as they can lead to further escalation if not managed carefully. It’s a complex situation that requires careful management to prevent further escalation.

The Indian government has engaged in diplomatic talks with Bangladesh to address the aggressive stance of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). India has proposed joint border management initiatives to enhance coordination and reduce misunderstandings between the BSF and BGB. These initiatives include joint patrols and information sharing. Indian officials have made public statements emphasising the importance of maintaining peace and stability along the border.New Delhi has been stressing on the need for both countries to work together to address common challenges. Cooperation in joint patrols and information sharing has seen some progress but remains a work in progress. New Delhi has been investing in infrastructure development along the border to improve security and facilitate better management of the border areas. It has taken legal and administrative measures to address issues such as smuggling and illegal migration, which are often sources of tension. These steps reflect India's careful approach to managing the situation through a combination of diplomacy, security measures, and cooperation. Further developments have added to the already complex relationship between the two countries. The recent floods in Bangladesh have led to significant tension between Bangladesh and India. Bangladesh’s interim government accused India of not providing advance notice before opening the floodgates of the Dumbur Hydroelectric Plant in Tripura, which led to massive flooding in Bangladesh. The Indian government has rejected these accusations, stating that the claims are "factually incorrect" and "misleading". India's Ministry of External Affairs has emphasised that the flooding was caused by natural factors and not by any deliberate action on India's part. But there were rumours and social media claims suggesting that India caused the floods by releasing water from dams, but these have been debunked. The flooding was in fact due to heavy rainfall in the catchment areas, not the release of water from Indian dams. In the past India has always provided humanitarian assistance to Bangladesh during natural disasters, such as cyclones and floods, demonstrating solidarity and support. India has been proactive in engaging with Bangladesh’s interim government to ensure continuity and stability in their bilateral relations. This engagement is crucial, especially during periods of political transition, to maintain cooperation on various fronts such as trade, security, and regional connectivity.
