Pakistan and Bangladesh are advancing toward a mutual defence agreement that includes military collaboration and intelligence sharing, amidst growing concerns for India regarding the potential dual-border threats from the west and east. This development is seen as a significant shift in South Asia’s strategic landscape, especially given India’s historical challenges with simultaneous threats from both fronts. Although India maintains a military advantage in terms of troop numbers and resources, the logistical implications of a two-front scenario necessitate enhanced vigilance and preparedness. Furthermore, domestic instability in Bangladesh, highlighted by recent protests and rising anti-India sentiments, exacerbates the situation, prompting India to reconsider its eastern security strategies and diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region.
