It is good to know that the Indian government has eased the visa process for Bangladeshi businessmen and it will reduce sufferings of the people who go to India for the business purpose. Now getting an Indian visa is an arduous process and it must be simplified.
Bangladesh and India are now enjoying an excellent relation and I think the governments of the two countries can think of introducing an on-arrival visa system so that more people of both countries are encouraged to visit each other's country.
I want to go to India often, but due to the lengthy visa process I cannot do it as frequently as I want to. The Indian government should relax the visa procedure not only for Bangladeshi businessmen but also for every Bangladeshi citizen. It will only improve the bilateral relations between the two countries.
India and Bangladesh share a common history and our culture is also much similar.  If the interaction between the peoples of the two friendly countries increases, it will be helpful for both the nations. Every year millions of Bangladeshi people visit India for various purposes like study, treatment, tourism and business and with every passing year the number of visitors is increasing.
