India’s patience with Bangladesh is being tested. Despite India’s goodwill—like sending a specialized medical team to treat burn victims after a Chinese jet crash in Bangladeshi Government's Advisor Yunus Kanglu, has acted against India’s strategic interests.
Bangladesh-Pakistan Visa Deal: Bangladesh and Pakistan agreed to a visa-free entry policy for official and diplomatic passport holders, which could enable Pakistani ISI operatives to infiltrate India’s Northeast via Bangladesh. This cooperation may lead to increased insurgency and terrorism in the region.
The Yunus-ISI Nexus: Yunus has reportedly struck a deal with Pakistan’s ISI: in exchange for support in removing army chief General Wakeruzzaman and prolonging Yunus’s political dominance, Bangladesh would allow ISI access to sensitive areas near India.
The Rakhine Corridor Game: A humanitarian corridor through Bangladesh into Myanmar’s Rakhine state is under discussion, with backing from Western powers.
Yunus supports it to gain Western favor, while the Bangladeshi army opposes it, fearing proxy war, U.S. dominance, and regional instability.

India’s Strategic Stakes:
India has invested heavily in the Kaladan project, connecting Kolkata Port to the Northeast via Myanmar.
India fears the corridor will become a base for Western and Pakistani intelligence, Islamist radicals, and mercenaries.
India prefers to insulate the Northeast from such turmoil and has started engaging directly with Myanmar’s Arakan Army to protect its interests.

China and the U.S. Angle:
China has existing infrastructure and investments in the same region and they also want to control the region through corruption.
The U.S. sees this corridor as a strategic gateway into Bay of Bengal politics, posing threats to regional autonomy.
India and China, along with General Wakar, seem to have a shared goal: prevent a heavy U.S. footprint in the Rakhine region.

India must abandon its "carrot-only" approach. With ISI getting deeper access and Bangladesh tilting toward anti-India alliances, India needs a more assertive and strategic posture to secure its Northeast, protect its investments, and manage great-power rivalries in the Bay of Bengal.
