This research examines the various factors contributing to human rights violations in the borders between Bangladesh and India. I analyze the literature on the Bangladesh-India borderlands to answer a few questions regarding the causes of violence. Where is violence the most common? What are some possible solutions? The 4096 km border is shared between Bangladesh and India, and several cross-border concerns affect their bilateral relations. The research outcomes provide light on the characteristics and underlying factors contributing to the cases of deaths among Bangladeshi individuals by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF). To explain the geographical location of violence, an upazila-wise violence map is generated using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology.
