When birds flutter, the sky does not bend due to their wings. The recent activities of Bangladesh have once again raised questions on India’s strategic security and position. Conspiracies on the Chicken Neck Corridor and growing relations with Pakistan have made it clear that India will now have to be prepared not only from the strategic point of view but also through diplomatic and military measures. The way relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan have increased in recent times is an alarm bell for India. Especially the visit of ISI Chief to Bangladesh and the visit of Bangladeshi Army officers to Pakistan indicate that both the countries together are planning to take some big step against India. Chicken Neck, also known as Siliguri Corridor, is a narrow stretch of land in India that connects the north-eastern states of India to the rest of India. This area is an important part of India’s strategic security. The borders of Rangpur district of Bangladesh fall near this corridor and Chicken Neck is situated at a distance of only 130 kilometers from here. Amidst the growing relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh, this area is becoming the biggest cause of concern for India.
