Dhaka Students Voice Concerns Over India-Bangladesh Tensions After Pulwama

Pulwama's Ripple Effect: Dhaka University Students Voice Concerns Over India-Bangladesh Tensions The 2019 Pulwama attack continues to cast a long shadow, impacting not only India and Pakistan but also neighboring Bangladesh. Recent reports suggest a deterioration in relations between India and Bangladesh, with increased visa restrictions and trade tensions. To understand the on-the-ground impact, WE News spoke with students at Dhaka University, the heart of Bangladesh's intellectual life. "The situation is concerning," said one student, who preferred to remain anonymous. "The restrictions on visas and trade are hurting our economy and our ability to interact with India." Another student, expressing similar concerns, added, "This isn't just about politics; it's about people. We need to find a way to bridge this gap and maintain a positive relationship with India." The students' concerns reflect a wider sentiment among the Bangladeshi public. The Pulwama incident, while geographically distant, has created a palpable tension that affects daily life. The hope is that diplomatic efforts will address these concerns and restore a more stable and productive relationship between the two nations.
