How Dhaka emerged in good books of Delhi?

 why this topic in news?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelling to Bangladesh this week to commemorate the important moment in the history of Bangladesh - i.e. when it got independence from Pakistan 50 years ago. This will help in further boosting bilateral ties between the two countries. 

Where is Bangladesh standing now among other countries since its independence?

The progress made by Dhaka on the Social and Economical front is not only to be seen as an inspiration for south Asia but also for the entire world by travelling its journey from being one of the world's poorest countries in 1972 to become the world's top 25 economies by the end of the decade. 

Improvement of bilateral relation in India And Bangladesh in the last 5 years

With the Modi govt focussing on India's neighbourhood first policy, it backs the support for boundary settlement with Bangladesh and mobilised enough political support to get it approved by parliament. Modi also backed an international tribunal award revolving the maritime territorial dispute with Bangladesh.

Can India learn something from Relations with Bangladesh that can be applied productively to Pakistan?

First is the importance of political stability and policy continuity. Second is the concern for mutual security, cooperation in counter-terrorism built deep mutual trust between India and Bangladesh. This trust helped deal with many complex issues facing the relationship. The third is to depoliticise issues of enlightened national economic interest.

100 Days of Modi 2.0 : Is Country Towards Dictatorship ?

After getting a huge success in the recent Lok-Sabha Elections, Modi Govt comes back in the power with a massive win over 300 seats of its own. After a long time, It is seen that A Single political party got the majority in the lower house of the Parliament. People have very much expectation from this govt and why they shouldn't be, As the ministers during their Election campaign showed many Dreams to their people and Now it's the turn of the Modi 2.0 to fulfill the promises done by them.
It's not worth to judge the govt based on the work done by them in the last 100 Days but This is the era of advertisement and one has to show every small contribution done by them. And through this, they want to gain massive support of their party workers and the people who had chosen him and it will help them in the coming elections in different states. 
I want to have your kind attention on some statistics of NDA cum BJP Government of the 100 days of their work.

1. Right To Information(RTI) Act: The center introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha to amend the RTI act, which gives govt the power to fix salaries, tenures and other terms and conditions of employment of Information Commissioners. The govt officials described the previous RTI law very confusing and assure the Parliament that This new bill leads to ease of delivery of RTI act but is it so? Now I want to know what type of liberalization is this? Will Information Commissioners do their duty now without any fear, which I don't think so as now the Govt will decide the salary and tenure of those officials so now there will be some fear in the mind of officials whenever there will be any question asked related to govt work.
Despite the protests of opposition, The bill was passed down in Lok-Sabha as well as in Rajya-Sabha.

2. Motor Vehicle Act: Now this is the most thoughtful decision presented by the govt, which are increasing the fines while caught breaking Rules and updated other Terms and Conditions. I know many people are suffering from this Act because of their habit of breaking Traffic Rules. This Act will make people aware of Traffic rule. But I want to see that Every people, I repeat Every people of this country should be bound to follow the Traffic Rules. It should not be limited to the common people rather should be implemented on every Govt officials as well on the Rich people. And also I want to see this Rule to be followed in small towns and villages as well. only then we can say that we are successful in our mission.

3. POCSO Amendment Act:  This Act was passed by the Parliament which includes the death penalty for aggravated sexual assault on children and Strict actions to be taken for other crimes against minors. This Amendment Bill also provides for fines and imprisonment to curb Child Pornography. Hope this Bill works well against such type of crimes. We have seen many bills to be presented before the Parliament and most of them become law but none of them has worked so smoothly to stop the Crime Rate.

4. Unlawful Activities Prevention Act: Many Regional parties supported the Govt in passing this bill in both houses of the Parliament. This bill mainly contains an amendment that allowed an individual can be declared as Terrorists. Mr. Amit Shah had said that this Act will not be misused and also there will be a four-stage Scrutiny to be done by officials. But there are some disadvantages also one of which is The Central govt can declare any individual as Terrorist if they believe he is involved which is real mischief in the bill.

5. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019: It replaces an ordinance came into effect on 21st Feb 2019. The Bill makes all type of Declaration of Talaaq, which includes Written or Electronic form, void and illegal. Now no Muslim men can give their lady an instant and irrevocable divorce which generally happened in the form of pronouncing the word "TALAQ" thrice in one sitting by a Muslim man to his wife and results in an instant divorce. Muslim women have welcomed this bill as they felt that Women will be empowered by came into existence of this type of law. Despite it was being opposed by the opposition in Parliament, It was passed by both the houses. The bill includes Allowance for the lady and Custody of their children and many more Terms and conditions.

6. Removal of Article 370 and Formation of two new UT's in replacement of a State: One of the toughest and shocking decisions of MODI Cabinet was the Removal of Article 370(except one section) and lost the Statehood of J&K and reorganized it into two new States named J&K and Ladakh. The Decision was taken by govt when there is no state legislature in the State. Moreover, President Rule has been imposed there over a year. So this was done with the help of Governor and Central Govt, Keeping people of J&K in silent mode. Ministers are saying this is to be done to remove terrorism and to develop J&K and Ladakh area.

7. The slowdown of Economy: India's GDP growth for the first quarter of FY20 slumped to 5 percent(the lowest in 25 quarters or in six years). Key Indian Factors are facing the effects of a slowdown as they continue to trim the jobs. But the govt is yet to acknowledge that Indian Economy is going through a period of slowdown. Almost all Indian sectors including auto, manufacturing, agriculture, FMCG, real state and construction have slumped badly. Also, Foreign investors are also constantly pulling out their capital from the Indian market. All major Indian Companies from Biscuit to Automobileshave seen the record falldownover the last few quarters, forcing them to call out for support from the government. Indian Rupee has again become one of the worst-performing Asian Currencies.  This is the steepest decline in the Indian Currency in the last six years. It could be worse if the precautions are not taken on time. Also, this all lead govt to take a heavy amount of money from the RBI but still Govt is saying All is going well.
