This is what happens when you let something rot for electoral gains. Without historical knowledge, it is easy to take the humanitarian cause, but with it, things become complicated (like every conflict zone), which is perhaps why "liberal" outlets conveniently forget to talk about them (think Israel, Palestine, Jewish exodus from Middle East, Europe).
The year 1971 was when a party from East Pakistan won the state elections; this was rejected by the Punjabi-dominated Army, which started killing Bangladeshis by the millions. A letter by the US Ambassador (in Dhaka, Kolkata?) was completely ignored by Nixon and his henchman, Kissinger. This led to a genocide, which took a religious turn (as it always does), and Hindus were killed and raped en masse. The exodus, which was merely a repeat of the one following partition, led Indira Gandhi (a brutal dictator in her own right), to help create an independent state of Bangladesh.
The refugees were never repatriated, and the open border meant easy passage for people. Governments from states neighbouring Bangladesh have encouraged Muslim voters to illegally emigrate to bolster their electoral majorities; this is not a contentious fact in India. Indeed, the communists even killed over 5000 Hindu refugees using state police in Marichjhapi, in order to secure their vote share in the decade after the war; there is, as usual, a total silence to the brutal state-sponsored genocides by the Left.
There is however a strong distaste for the trespassers, and this is indeed along religious lines. Bangladesh is also a breeding ground for the global Jihad, and this is precisely why Myanmar too reacts the way it has. In India, Muslim majority areas are often ... erm ... not exactly places where minorities are left in peace (Kashmir, Ramanathapuram, Bhatkal, Malda, tons of districts in Bengal, Bihar, UP). Having this many Bangladeshis, being supported by corrupt political elites, is not exactly a problem it needs right now. India in particular has one too many Kashmirs brewing, and unlike the Christians and Muslims who have historically either been "harvesting" lands by one means or the other, India's natives have no real homeland. Not even India, which constitutionally discriminates against Hindus.
Letting a wound fester, sadly, has its consequences. The instabilities caused by the jihadis has grave consequences to India's economy and culture, and it has every right to deport illegal immigrants.
