Nearly a year after the July revolution in Bangladesh, relations with India are in a downward spiral. In Dhaka, there's growing anger over New Delhi's sheltering of ousted leader Sheikh Hasina, who India considered a trusted ally. Now Bangladesh is making a diplomatic pivot towards China and Pakistan. How will India react to the shifting strategic realities in its backyard? And how will the new government in Bangladesh manage the geopolitical realignment, and the risk of provoking its powerful neighbor?
