Abstract

The genesis of the India-Bangladesh boundary disputes lies in the partition of India in 1947. The border demarcation commissions failed to address many grievances of people from India and Pakistan and as a result, since then the two countries have been engaged in land border disputes, some of which, after 1971, were inherited by Bangladesh. In 1974, India and Bangladesh signed an agreement to resolve their border disputes but they could not be resolved for various reasons. Finally, in 2011 the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) protocol was agreed, and its implementation treaty was signed in 2015. This article argues that with the implementation of the Land Boundary Agree- ment the dispute between Bangladesh and India are over but there are other related issues which might be cause of concern for both the countries.
