Vikram Misri's visit to Dhaka signals efforts to stabilise Bangladesh-India ties.
Recently, several Indian news outlets reported alleged "persecution" of minorities in Bangladesh. This misinformation has sparked protests in various parts of India, including West Bengal. In an unfortunate escalation, the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh in Agartala was attacked, with miscreants vandalising the premises and tearing down the Bangladeshi flag on Monday.
The interviews presented a good example of the typical Indian disinformation campaign.
Bangladesh and India's film industries are feeling the impact of the recently tightened visa regulations, with Bangladeshi artistes struggling to secure travel permits for film shoots in India, and Indian actors unable to get work permits for projects in Bangladesh.
Tasnia Farin, who was set to star opposite Dev in the Kolkata film "Pratiksha" directed by Abhijit Sen, has withdrawn from the project. Initially scheduled to begin filming in Kolkata and the UK in early November, the film now facing delays led Farin to step back.
The recent political upheaval and the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government in Bangladesh have significantly impacted the entertainment industry in both Bengals. For decades, films have been co-produced by Bangladesh and India, featuring actors and actresses from both countries. However, with the current unstable political climate, these collaborations may be on hold.
