Pakistan gets all of the attention these days, because (a) it has nukes; and (b) its territory has become al-Qaeda's primary global base, as that organization wages an insurgency that aims to topple Pakistan's government, as well as Afghanistan's.

On India's eastern flank, the Islamization of Bangladesh has also been covered here. But that is not not the country's only problem.

The recent mutiny of their Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) border troops offered one glimpse into the state's other problems, and incidentally highlights the low likelihood of successful long-term resistance by the government to any sort of dedicated insurgency.

That's more India's strategic problem at the moment than it is America's. But other countries around the world make important decisions, India is one of them, and it's good to keep an eye on these things.
