The question does not talk about Pakistan, so no need to give so much space to in the intro. Rather, you can mention the proclamation of a “sonali adhyay” or “golden chapter” in Indo-Bangladesh bilateral relations.
Next part is decent, but the transformation points need to be elaborated a bit. That is the crux of the answer, talk about Land Boundary Agreement, summit-level visits, transboundary bus services, reopening of railway lines, and the revitalization of waterways are restoring connectivity, Indian government accepted the award of the international arbitration, opening of markets on both sides, increasing bilateral trade volumes etc
Conclusion is fine, but before that you can mention that some of the challenges still remain and mention 1-2 challenges in the relationship.
Keep practicing. 🙂
