This is the victory for a traumatised people and democracy (“ >Delhi, Dhaka set boundary pact in motion ”, June 7). Let’s hope the process of implementation starts soon and does not face obstacles. The move to connect the two lands and bind hearts should now look at another contentious issue, one of water sharing, and where both sides will have to make sacrifices without being domineering. There has to be a show of statesmanship that takes precedence over petty politicking as a strong India-Bangladesh relationship has to be cemented soon based on strategic considerations. If Bangladesh rises, much of the migration to India will stop.

Despite the criticism that the Prime Minister spends more time abroad than at home, it is being gradually proved that Mr. Modi is keen about progress and development. The fruitful visit to Bangladesh is a milestone in his political journey.
