Question

What is the bone of contention between India and Bangladesh?

• A. River water disputes
• B. India's fencing of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants
• C. India's relations with Pakistan
• D. Bangladesh's liberation from Pakistan

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A River water disputes
B India's fencing of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants

Despite having signed a 25 years peace treaty, India and Bangladesh have had differences over issues, such as sharing of Ganga and Brahmaputra river waters and large-scale illegal immigration of people of Bangladesh into India. But Bangladesh is an integral part of India’s ‘look East policy’ to link up with south Asia via Myanmar.
