"The Siliguri Corridor: India's Strategic Lifeline 🇮🇳🔗 | Geopolitics & Security Explained"- 1000

In this episode of UPSC Podcast, we delve into the critical role of the Siliguri Corridor, often referred to as India's "Chicken's Neck." This narrow 22 km-wide stretch in West Bengal serves as the sole land link connecting Northeast India to the rest of the country. Bordered by Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, its strategic significance extends beyond geography into realms of national security, regional diplomacy, and economic connectivity.

This UPSC Podcast highlights the strategic importance of the Siliguri Corridor, also known as the "Chicken's Neck," a narrow strip of land connecting mainland India to its northeastern states. Recent comments from Bangladesh's interim leader suggesting India's Northeast is "landlocked" and dependent on transit through Bangladesh have brought this vulnerable area back into focus. The article explains how India is responding with diplomatic actions, economic measures, and accelerating alternative connectivity projects like the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Project, all while viewing Bangladesh's growing ties with China, including potential use of the Lalmonirhat airbase, as a security concern near this critical corridor.
Key topics covered include:

Geopolitical Significance: The corridor's pivotal position amidst neighboring countries and its implications for India's strategic planning.

Security Concerns: Insights into the military importance of the corridor and measures taken to safeguard it.

Infrastructure Developments: Ongoing projects aimed at enhancing connectivity and fortifying the region.

Diplomatic Dynamics: Recent political statements and their impact on regional relations.

Join us as we explore why the Siliguri Corridor is more than just a geographical feature—it's a linchpin in India's national security and regional strategy.
