: India-Bangladesh relations during the NDA regime from 2014 to 2024 were on the interplay of domestic politics, and bilateral trade. Over the two decades, ties have seen significant progress, between the two nations with the NDA government emphasizing an empirical and result-oriented approach to foster regional stability and economic cooperation. India's "Neighbourhood First" policy prioritizes a closer engagement with Bangladesh, resulting in breakthroughs like the resolution of the Land Boundary Agreement in 2015 and enhanced cross-border connectivity through rail, road, and waterways. These measures not only deepened bilateral ties but also facilitated trade growth. The Two Nations explores how domestic political developments in both countries have influenced the relations between the two states. The NDA government in India prioritized infrastructure and regional connectivity, which aligns well with Bangladesh's developmental goals. At the same time, Sheikh Hasina's pro-India stance fostered strategic cooperation between the two nations. However, domestic challenges, including electoral dynamics and regional political narratives, add confusion to the already complex return of border management and resource-sharing agreements. The articles highlight the recent shifts, including Bangladesh's growing economic diversification and India's recalibrated focus on energy and technology partnerships, by assessing the impact of domestic and regional factors, they also study enhance the importance of sustained political will and mutual trust in maintaining a stable and progressive partnership in a changing geopolitical context.
