Bangladeshi refugees living in India may also face greater security challenges.
In essence, the death sentence handed down to Sheikh Hasina represents a profound political-judicial crisis within Bangladesh, but its impact is not limited to Bangladesh; it affects the diplomatic, economic, security, and social fabric of South Asia as a whole.
The challenge for India is not only to protect its national interests but also to ensure that Bangladesh makes positive progress towards stability, democracy, and just governance.
India's diplomacy must proceed with patience, prudence, and a high degree of sensitivity.
