Abstract : The media plays an important role in every aspect of our lives. However, in the times of political change framing of information becomes more crucial in shaping the views of any country regarding another. The framing of media can also impact diplomatic relations. This study, therefore, aims to analyse how India is framed in Bangladeshi media during the time of political unrest. The theoretical framework chosen for this study is framing theory. This theory explains how the media highlights certain aspects of information to shape the perception of people. The rise of digital media has also changed the news consumption patterns of people. Therefore, the data for this study were collected from the e-paper ‘The Daily Star’, one of the leading English e-newspapers of Bangladesh. The time period selected for this one month i.e. 1st September-30th September. Using content analysis, a total of 95 articles are reviewed and categorised into five generic frames- ‘human interest, conflict, attribution of responsibility, economic consequence, and morality’. The findings of the study show a balanced reporting by Bangladeshi media during the selected period. This study contributes to a better understanding of how neighbouring countries are framed during the time of political change.
