ABSTRACT
Relations between India and Bangladesh (East Bengal till 1956, and East Pakistan from 1956 to 1971) are complex and face a variety of problems. These challenges have arisen mainly out of the Partition of British India in 1947, and the separation of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971. Indeed, to some extent, these problems persist, because decision makers in both the countries have largely failed to summon the requisite resilience in coping with them.
