Long sidelined by Islamabad, Moscow, and Beijing, New Delhi is finally taking a seat at the table.

India is faced with choices of being part of two regional blocs: BBIN and BCIM. In both blocs, India has Bangladesh as a common partner. The prime motives for being a member of the regional blocs are essentially economic, and strategically political.
