How would India do that? It's rather India which is dependent on Bangladesh, not the other way round.
The fact that India doesn't have any leverage on Bangladesh is the reason why they want Hasina to stay in power.
Here are three ways India can scupper things:
1. Stop cotton exports as well as exports of other essentials.
2. Reduce water flow
3. Stop Bangladeshi imports altogether - worth about two billion
That would be enough to send Bangladesh into a recession.
It could also encourage the Burmese to attack Bangladesh.
If you think Hinduvta cares about losing trade - you are deluded!
Since coming to power - Modi has put Hinduvta above trade.
If you want to see how Hinduvta can strangle you - look no further than what it has done to Pakistan.
From visa restrictions on everyone of Pakistani heritage (roped in British Pakistani IT workers) to funding terrorism on Pakistani soil.
The hubris and delusion of PDF Bangladeshis is akin to the hubris I see in the average Pakistani.
It’s also similar to the hubris of English Brexiters towards the EU.
With the refrain, “they sell us more so they need us”
How did that work out with 10+ inflation?
