Bangladesh At An Inflection Point: Politics, Economy, And India | Saga Episode 5

South Asia Geoeconomic Adda (SAGA) with Professor Sanjay Kathuria, Episode 5: Bangladesh’s Big Reset: Guests Professors Ali Riaz, Sreeradha Datta and Selim Raihan on whether Bangladesh can turn the tide on politics, economics and relations with India.

A new government in Dhaka. A fragile economy. Corruption concerns. A strained relationship with India. In Episode 5 of the South Asia Geoeconomic Adda, Professor Sanjay Kathuria is joined by three leading scholars to unpack whether Bangladesh can turn political change into institutional and economic repair—or whether old problems will outlast a new beginning.
Ali Riaz is a Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Illinois State University in the US. Sreeradha Datta is Professor of International Affairs at O.P. Jindal Global University. Selim Raihan is Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Dhaka.
SAGA is hosted by Prof. Sanjay Kathuria, a pre-eminent thinker and commentator on South Asia, contemporary geoeconomic issues, economic development, and trade and globalization. He is co-founder of the Trade Sentinel and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress in New Delhi. https://www.tradesentinel.org/team
