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.

India and Bangladesh: the road towards common peace and prosperity / Datta, Sreeradha   Journal Article
Datta, Sreeradha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract After a hiatus, relations between India and Bangladesh are back on track again. This period was ushered in with the Awami League government assuming power in Dhaka after the culmination of the much delayed ninth Jatiya Sangsad elections. The bilateral relations received a further boost with Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's four-day visit to India on January 10, 2010. It was breakthrough visit for a number of reasons. Not only was it Sheikh Hasina's first visit to India after taking over as prime minister on January 2009, but it has once one again lent the Indo-Bangladesh relations with a growing sense of optimism. The meetings between the leaders of India and Bangladesh radiated a spirit of goodwill that was singularly lacking in the bilateral context until recently. Apart from the positive atmospherics that this landmark visit has generated, the two sides have set forth a bilateral agenda that, if well implemented, will ensure the process of being development partners is ongoing and is not subject to regime compatibility.

Mobile phone is like a friendship. It depends from person to person how it is used: mobile phone relationships among low-income women in urban Bangladesh / Sibona, Hannah   Journal Article
Sibona, Hannah Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article presents ethnographic accounts of the mobile phone mediated experiences of connection and intimacy among young low-income women in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It argues that mobile phones are a ‘pathway to empowerment’ insofar as the ever-evolving social practices of ‘wrong-number friendships’, long-distance courtship, and the management and manipulation of new contacts on mobile phones broaden the range of social interactions, enable expressions of aspirational mobility, and contribute to the evolution of a sense of self. It also explores how the affective power of mobile phone communication in intimate relationships alters perceptions of distance and creates forms of ‘immobile mobility’. Thus, this article builds on research that argues that the material affordances of a mobile phone challenge social and cultural gender norms and power dynamics. Moreover, by drawing out how mobility, gender and class intersect with the social and emotional experiences of low-income women in Bangladesh, it goes beyond existing literature and offers a more nuanced perspective on the notion that access to technology among marginalised and disempowered groups leads to poverty alleviation and greater equality.

Participatory Democracy or State-Induced Violence? resettling the Displaced People of Hatirjheel in Dhaka / Nijhum, Farzana Quader   Journal Article
Nijhum, Farzana Quader Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article discusses the trajectory of project implementation in the development of the Hatirjheel lake area in Dhaka, which involved forced relocation and socio-economic deprivation for most project-affected people. It raises questions over the extent to which such processes need to be seen as state-induced violations of basic justice, asking whether more justice-focused management of such projects is becoming an unrealistic expectation in an increasingly crowded Bangladesh. The article discusses the socio-political dynamics and community-related issues affecting different stakeholders during the implementation of the project. Despite the official presence of participatory planning techniques, the forceful imposition of the development plans and the drastic ramifications of forced land acquisition are shown to have violated basic principles of good governance. It is suggested that less violent and more inclusive approaches are possible despite resource scarcities and that lessons can be learned from such experiences for the future.
