Abstract

India, which shares a border with Bangladesh, longer than that with China running through Indian states of West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, has to deal with far reaching bilateral issues with it on its illegal immigrants into India which has reshaped the demography of India’s border areas significantly jolting the ethnic balance, electoral regularity and employment opportunities for its nationals. The porousness of the Indo-Bangladesh border, which runs through jungles, hills, villages, paddy and jute fields as also along small rivers, cause difficulty in monitoring more so as it is almost possible to distinguish a Bangladeshi from his Indian counterpart. Illegal and immoral acts such as arms smuggling, drug trafficking and those of women and children go on unabated owing to the permeable border. This fragile border allows militants with bases in Bangladesh to cross over for subversive acts and then easily flee back to their safe haven. As India’s suggestion of joint patrol along the border to rein in this menace did not meet the approval of Bangladesh, India was compelled to tackle this problem itself to strike down illegal immigration. The illegal infiltration from Bangladeshi into India can be assigned to the social, economic and political factors – density of population and object poverty are the root cause for such infiltration.
