Özet
This study focuses on Türkiye and India’s Soft Power strategies in Bangladesh and argues that Türkiye’s historical–religious aspect offers an extra appeal that India cannot afford in Bangladesh. Muslims of Bangladesh, formerly known as East-Bengal, organized ‘Caliphate Movement’ for integrity of the Caliphate system in early 1920s while India directly joined in Bangladesh’s liberation war against Pakistan. Geographical and cultural cause backed India’s assistance for Bangladesh’s liberation while a sharp religious cause backed Bengali Muslim’s support to the integrity of the Caliphate. The study relates these factors to analyze current Soft Power strategies of Türkiye and India in Bangladesh.
