    Stop seeing Bangladesh as ‘East Pakistan’. Last 50 years are a missed opportunity

    We have no military prowess to back all of those things up. We need to be self reliant, we need inhouse expertise and we need true patriots who will drop their blood for BD. To curb the neighbour we need to show that we can do things ourselves. And enough with the sh-tty indian produce food...

    Australian firm offers $16bn loan for high-speed rail projects

    In house expertise would help in the long run, we need to learn to be self sufficient and we need to adopt the qualities of civic/infrastructure work done in other successful nations. Dhaka is a shambles, it has some nice parts where you'd need to scrape your whole bank account, then run down...
