2001 Bangladesh–India border clashes

The 2001 Bangladesh–India border clashes refer to a series of confrontations that occurred along the contentious border between Bangladesh and India, primarily driven by issues surrounding illegal immigration and territorial disputes. Tensions escalated in the mid-1990s, culminating in violent clashes in 2001, which involved law enforcement from both nations responding to perceived encroachments. Notably, the incidents involved the deaths of several individuals, drawing significant media attention and criticism from human rights organizations. The clashes highlighted ongoing border management challenges and the complex socio-political dynamics of the region. Subsequent diplomatic negotiations aimed to mitigate tensions, but underlying issues remained unresolved, impacting bilateral relations between the two countries.
