The economic relations between Bangladesh and India have long been discussed and criticized. On the one hand, the commercial and diplomatic relations between India and Bangladesh tell a story of mutual cooperation, while on the other hand, the reality depicts an uneven symmetry. To what extent is Bangladesh's sovereignty and economic interests being protected in the name of unilateral trade facilities, transit, transshipment and corridors, that is under question today.

This book analyzes how India's political and military interests have affected the economy and politics of Bangladesh. The lack of expected revenue from transit facilities, killings at the border, the expansion of unilateral trade, the lack of proper distribution of common resources—these issues have led to a glaring imbalance in the India-Bangladesh relations.

This book provides a detailed review of how Bangladesh's democracy, internal politics and freedom of economic decision-making have been damaged by Indian interference. Are India-Bangladesh relations truly friendly, or is it a hegemonic relationship? The main purpose of this book is to try to find the answer to this question.
