India-Bangladesh ties headed for reset following Hasina’s ouster and escape to India

NEW DELHI – The “golden era” of India-Bangladesh ties may have just ended with the sudden ouster of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a reliable partner of New Delhi on the sub-continent.

Ms Hasina, who was Bangladesh’s longest serving prime minister, in power for 15 years,

resigned and fled the country on Aug 5

following a student-led uprising that began in July as protests against government job quotas but swelled into a massive movement demanding her resignation.
