Bangladesh Election: Dhaka's New Pivot, Delhi's New Dilemma

• Centre-Right Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) wins, led by Tarique Rahman, after Awami League ban.
• Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami emerges as principal opposition, marking a rise in religious politics.
• BNP's victory poses challenges for India, including demands for Sheikh Hasina's extradition and potential closer ties with Pakistan and China.
• Tarique Rahman's past alleged involvement in weapon smuggling to ULFA raises security concerns for India's North-East.
• Jamaat-e-Islami's strong presence in border areas with India sparks fears of Islamist mobilization and radicalization.
