What happened
The International Monetary Fund reported that Bangladesh's GDP is higher than India's. Concurrently, India is experiencing political turmoil, including street protests against the Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls. The Bharatiya Janata Party stated that the voter roll revision was partly motivated by millions of undocumented migrants from Bangladesh settling in India.
