Relations between India and Bangladesh hit a new low with mutual visa suspensions and a cricket boycott, fueled by the fallout from Sheikh Hasina's ouster and rising communal tensions.

The brotherly relationship between India and Bangladesh, forged in the blood of 1971, has disintegrated into a bitter diplomatic feud. As elections loom in both nations, political posturing has spiraled into a full-blown crisis involving visa suspensions, trade blockades, and a unprecedented sports boycott.
The latest flashpoint is cricket—the religion of the subcontinent. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced today that its team will not travel to India for the upcoming World Cup, demanding matches be moved to a neutral venue. This follows the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) blocking a Bangladeshi player from the IPL due to "security concerns."
The root of the conflict is the 2024 ouster of Sheikh Hasina. India’s refusal to extradite the former Prime Minister, who fled to Delhi, has enraged Bangladesh’s interim government. Dhaka views Delhi as the protector of a dictator; Delhi views Dhaka’s new rulers as puppets of Islamist radicals.
With India’s BJP and Bangladesh’s BNP both in campaign mode, neither side can afford to look weak. Anti-India rhetoric is a vote-winner in Bangladesh, while "protecting Hindus" is a core plank for Modi. The result is a dangerous escalation that threatens to destabilize the entire Bay of Bengal region.
