Why did it take India an era to show warmth towards Tarique Rahman?
India has sent a new diplomatic message congratulating Tarique Rahman. The once neglected leader is now receiving a warm welcome as a potential prime minister. The political reality of Bangladesh has changed, the BNP has come to power, and India's attitude has also changed. India was quick to congratulate him out of trust, strategic interests and some assurances. However, the security and political context of religious minorities still leave some questions. After a decade of waiting, a new chapter in relations has begun, how lasting it will be, only time will tell.
