Abstract

India’s contribution in the liberation war of Bangladesh was outstanding. Friendship relation exists between the two countries since the liberation war of Bangladesh. As a large neighboring country, Bangladesh has maintained good relationship with India since birth. In this age of globalization, no country can meet its demand alone. Bangladesh also cannot meet alone. Bangladesh is dependent on other countries of the world for many things starting from daily necessities. Overall, Bangladesh is more dependent on its neighboring country India. Again, India is also dependent on neighboring Bangladesh in many ways. It is through this dependence that relationships are built. Since Bangladesh and India are both bordering countries, they have developed better relations than other countries in security, military, and other matters. Historically, there are many other reasons for the friendly relations between Bangladesh and India. Moreover, Bangladesh and India being members of SAARC and BIMSTEC have developed a special friendship between the two countries. India is considered as an eternal friend due to its contribution to the independence war of Bangladesh. There have been many ups and downs in the relations between India and Bangladesh since the pre-independence period. There have been discussions and criticisms on various issues between the two countries. Various initiatives have been taken to sweeten the relationship. This paper discusses the past history of the relationship between Bangladesh and India, the current situation of the relationship, and how the relationship will be stood in the future.

Abstract

This paper examines how other countries reacted to the July 2024 student movement in Bangladesh through the prism of constitutional crisis and emergency rule. The demonstrations that began over the reinstatement of the civil service quota system quickly escalated into a nationwide struggle against the constitutional order, marked by rampant violations of constitutionally guaranteed rights, including the right to life and personal liberty, freedom of assembly and expression, and the right against arbitrary arrest. The state's response, manifested in the overuse of force, mass detentions, and long-term internet bans, in fact precipitated a de facto constitutional crisis without a declaration of a state of emergency. This study will employ a qualitative research design, using documentary and thematic content analyses of official statements, human rights reports, international media coverage, and policy briefs published between July 2024 and February 2025. The results show a definite split in the international reactions: Western democracies and the international human rights institutions interpreted the crisis as the problem of constitutionality, the rule of law, and international human rights commitments, whereas regional powers viewed the crisis as the problem of political stability, sovereignty, and non-intervention. The article also suggests that the continued international pressure together with the mobilization within the country contributed greatly to undermining the legitimacy of the existing government and the direction to the formation of the interim government that was operating under the conditions of constitutional necessity. The place of international responses within the context of constitutional emergency and international human rights law, therefore, allows the study to add to comparative constitutionalism studies on the way in which international actors affect constitutional failure and post-crisis state politics.
