SS: [Sumit Ganguly](https://www.hoover.org/profiles/sumit-ganguly) writes in *Foreign Policy* about what Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s sudden resignation and flight to India mean as Bangladesh establishes a new interim government to replace her and organizes fresh elections.
As this occurs, there are worrying signs of Dhaka moving more closely into China’s orbit, with joint military exercises, fresh investment, and new purchases of Chinese arms. India’s leaders appear to be losing the beneficial partnership they had with their Muslim-majority neighbor.
Looking ahead, what implications do you think recent developments in Bangladesh have for stability in the region?
