Bangladesh’s chief advisor Muhammad Yunus has sparked a major diplomatic row after gifting a book with a distorted map to Pakistan’s General Sahir Shamshad Mirza. The map on the cover shows India’s northeastern states as part of Bangladesh. The book, Art of Triumph: Bangladesh’s New Dawn, celebrates Bangladesh’s 2024 student movement. The image has drawn strong criticism in India, as it mirrors the “Greater Bangladesh” idea promoted by Islamist groups. Relations between India and Bangladesh have been tense since Sheikh Hasina fled to India in 2024, while Yunus seeks closer ties with Pakistan and China. (PC: X)
