Among South Asian countries, India-Bangladesh shares a specific kind of bonding due to their historical linkage and geo-strategic proximity. Despite many scholars ’prediction of continuing exemplary friendship between the two, the relationship could not enjoy a smooth ride in the recent past. However, the fear of increasing distance along with the BJP coming into power of India could not last in the following period. Rather, a steady growth and commitment towards neighboring countries have been witnessed. The development moreover is not beyond questionable doubts. This study aims at taking a descriptive and analytical approach in examining the post 2014 political environment of both the countries to understand the bilateral relation between India-Bangladesh under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's period.
