PM's resignation came after weeks of student protests (Demanding removal of a quota system) were met with violent suppression. 

• These protests also witnessed some anti-India sentiments due to India’s long support for current government and limited interactions with opposition. 
• PM's resignation has led to political vacuum and uncertainty in Bangladesh.

Possible Impact of this uncertainty on India-Bangladesh Relations

• Economic repercussions: Current instability may impact existing rail, road, and trans-shipment and other infrastructure projects.
  • Can lead to further delay to pending Free Trade Agreement. 
• Border Management and Illegal Migration: Possible repercussions on geostrategic border with North East India.
  • Economic uncertainty, violence & security concerns may result in illegal migration into India.
• Regional Security Concerns: This political uncertainty may lead to potential disruption to regional security and counterterrorism efforts.
• Neighborhood Relations: With Afghanistan under Taliban and pro-China Maldives, this development adds concerns to India’s neighborhood & bilateral relations. 
• China Factor: unlike Hasina, opposition in Bangladesh is largely pro-Pakistan and pro-China.
