Chinese engagement with the Maldives: impact on security environment in the Indian ocean region / Kumar, Anand   Journal Article
Kumar, Anand Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This article explores the objectives of China's engagement in the Maldives and how the current administration of the country is responding to it. The article also looks at how the Maldives has been used by major powers in the past. On the basis of these analyses, it envisages the path that Maldivian foreign policy is likely to follow in the future and its likely impact on the security environment in the Indian Ocean region. The article argues that China is trying to make inroads into the Maldives to fulfil its strategic objectives, but it has not been very successful because of the regime of President Nasheed, which is friendly towards India. However, as Chinese economic engagement in the Maldives increases, it might affect the close relationship between India and the Maldives. The article also highlights that the Chinese thrust into the Indian Ocean cannot be described as a 'string of pearls' to encircle India, but has more to do with furthering its strategic interests and global military ambitions.

Depoliticising illegal immigration from Bangladesh to India / Kumar, Anand   Article
Kumar, Anand Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led coalition coming to power in India in May 2014, the issue of illegal immigration from Bangladesh has come to the forefront once again. However, the fear is whether the debate over the issue will shed more light, leading to the resolution of the problem, or whether it will simply degenerate into political rivalry and polarisation. Illegal immigration figured prominently in the run-up to the 2014 parliamentary elections and was often raised by one of the leading political parties, the BJP. No doubt, flagging this important issue was reflected in the improved political fortunes of the party. Meanwhile, some new facts have also emerged that have brought the issue of illegal immigration out from the realm of speculation and given some shape to the problem. These facts indicate that, if anything, the problem has worsened in the last 10 years. There is now a greater need for political parties to work together for a meaningful solution.

Domestic politics of Bangladesh and India-Bangladesh relations / Kumar, Anand   Journal Article
Kumar, Anand Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The foreign policy of a country generally changes incrementally but in the case of Bangladesh it changes dramatically towards India depending upon which political party or alliance is in power. The ideological cleavage prevailing in the country affects not only its domestic politics but also its relationship with its neighbour India. In this article an attempt has been made to explain why and how the domestic politics of Bangladesh affects India-Bangladesh relations. It explores some of the historical processes that resulted in the formation of community consciousness among the Bengali Muslims. It also discusses the interests of different sections of society, such as the army and traders, who influenced the country's foreign policy in the post-liberation period as well as those who actively participated in the Liberation War of Bangladesh and who are pro-peasant and friendly to minorities. In this article the focus is on the domestic politics of Bangladesh. The main argument is that since there is no consensus in Bangladesh over how to best serve its national interest, the foreign policies of the two major political parties are completely different and allow the domestic politics of Bangladesh to affect the bilateral relationship with India in a way that is mostly independent of India's actions. It also suggests that India can only be insulated from Bangladeshi domestic politics after the delegitimisation of anti-liberation forces in Bangladesh, which could happen with the successful completion of the war crime trials.

Illegal Bangladeshi migration to India: impact on internal security / Kumar, Anand   Journal Article
Kumar, Anand Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Migration, a worldwide phenomenon, has often been seen as beneficial for both the sending and receiving countries. However, post-9/11, the phenomenon is seen as a mixed blessing. It is also being realised that it is impossible to check illegal migration unless the sending country cooperates. In South Asia, India has been at the receiving end of the problem of illegal immigration from Bangladesh. This paper argues that such illegal migration is posing a threat to internal security because the issue has not been properly securitised. Migrants seem to have successfully bypassed legal hurdles, which has kept certain territories out of reach even for Indian nationals. If Bangladesh's internal politics and economic deprivation are major factors for this state of affairs, then permissiveness towards illegal immigration in Indian political circles is also responsible. The largely lenient political class has been prompted to take a close look at the issue as an increasing number of Bangladeshis have of late been found to be involved in terror activities.

Impact of West Bengal politics on India–Bangladesh relations / Kumar, Anand   Journal Article
Kumar, Anand Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract It was expected that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Dhaka in September 2011 would transform India-Bangladesh relations. However, this did not happen as India could not sign the Teesta water sharing agreement, the biggest deliverable of the visit. It also made some people brand West Bengal (Paschimbanga) Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as a spoiler. But did West Bengal stop central government from achieving a historic diplomatic breakthrough for narrow political objectives, or were its leaders only protecting their state interests, which central government may not have been fully able to understand being far away from the region? This article examines the impact of West Bengal politics on India-Bangladesh relations and argues that the role played by the states can often add value to foreign policy making and might actually prevent the centre from jeopardising local interests, thereby protecting national interests as well. The India-Bangladesh relationship can improve if treaties are negotiated in such a way that they become win-win for both sides. This will happen if the treaties are signed after due diligence, taking into account all stakeholders, and if they are implemented sincerely.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract India's western border has occupied most of its attention and resources. But the security threats now coming from its eastern border are no less serious. In fact, extra attention to the western border has made countries like Pakistan and their notorious intelligence agencies, such as the inter-service intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan, change their tactics and use the less monitorred eastern border to create trouble.

Jamaat and its agenda of Islamic state in Bangladesh / Kumar, Anand   Journal Article
Kumar, Anand Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The rise and growth of Islamist political parties in Bangladesh has been a cause of concern as these parties have the establishment of an Islamic state as their ultimate objective. Though some of these parties, especially the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, have tried to project themselves as 'moderate forces' and have participated in democratic elections, this article argues that the Jamaat is not a moderate force and has as its ultimate objective the establishment of an Islamic state, which does not go together with democracy. To unravel the nature of the Jamaat, this article discusses tactics used by them, their links with militant outfits, the role of two mainstream political parties, and their attempt to undermine democratic institutions. It also discusses international and domestic responses to the activities of the Jamaat and implications of this phenomenon for India.

Shaikh Hasina's visit to India and the future of Indo-Bangladesh relations / Kumar, Anand   Journal Article
Kumar, Anand Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Shaikh Hasina's crushing victory in the December 2008 Bangladesh elections opened a new chapter in her country's relations with Delhi. India had long wanted improvements in cooperation against terrorism and better access to the states of North East India, Bangladesh needed better cooperation over water resources and the trade imbalance. Shaikh Hasina's swift action against insurgent groups trying to operate against India from Bangladesh territory laid the foundations for her very successful visit to India in early 2010 which in turn set the framework for a better future relationship. But in the light of the hostility of many in Bangladesh to improved relations with India, the author examines the options for Indian policy makers. He concludes that the emphasis should be on achieving progress in areas outside security, where progress would be irreversible, while recognising that a real transformation of the relationship would be possible if Shaikh Hasina was able to win the next elections and secure a further term in office.
