This book investigates the complex dynamics of Bangladesh-India relations over the past fifty years, focusing on their key issues, challenges, and future possibilities. The author, Md. Shariful Islam, draws upon extensive research to analyze critical areas such as border management, water cooperation, and connectivity between the two nations. The work also critically examines the influence of the 'China factor' and the role of civil society in shaping these bilateral ties, ultimately mapping out potential future directions for the partnership in the post-pandemic era.

The book is positioned as a valuable resource for students and academics in International Relations and Political Science, as well as for researchers and policymakers interested in Bangladesh-India relations and South Asian foreign policy. Its analysis of contemporary issues and future possibilities suggests it aims to provide both theoretical insights and practical policy recommendations. The inclusion of topics like the 'China factor' and post-pandemic considerations indicates a contemporary and relevant approach to the subject matter. The work is intended to be a comprehensive overview for those engaged with the foreign policies of Bangladesh and India.
