Bangladesh's Shift to Turkey: A Strategic Threat to India

Recent developments indicate a concerning shift in Bangladesh’s foreign relations following the ousting of Sheikh Hasina, with the interim government under Muhammad Yunus strengthening ties with Turkey, reportedly at the behest of the Pakistani ISI. This alliance has led to increased arms procurement from Turkey, including advanced military technology, which could potentially be used against India. Indian intelligence highlights the resurgence of radical terror groups in Bangladesh, emboldened by this new cooperation, raising fears of proxy attacks against India. Such dynamics underscore a broader geopolitical challenge, as the ISI’s influence grows in the region, jeopardizing India’s security interests and necessitating a vigilant response from Indian defense agencies.
