No , sylheties were not the only one NWFP also voted in favour of Pakistan. You really need to remove the chip from your shoulder get away from this sylhety exceptionalism nonsense, it is incredibly tedious.
Sylheties are part and parcel of the muslims on the subcontinent and of BD. You have...
I did not say anything to denigrate the Kashmeries and I agree the situation is not the same.
BD fight for muslim sovereignty is older than PK movement. We ensured muslim supremacy via the ballot box of the bengal presidency.
It was Shere-e-Bangla who presented the lahore resolution.
BD...
Absolutely not, you have your history the wrong way around.
Jinnah additionally had zero following in Bengal.
Fortunately we are not Kashmeries. We had forced the british into creating the bengal presidency and ensuring there is no hindu domination prior to independence. Muslim leagues...
You did not assist in the creation of BD, we assisted in you having a country.
Muslim league of born in Dhaka, it was created to serve the needs of BD muslims. Bengal was the only place that muslim league had political power.
BD would have been born as an independent multi religious state or...
So they are basicly just distributor of imported goods. Not that great. I suppose they are developing some engineering capacity in their support services and only now taking some rudimentary steps in assembling.
Until they get into production value addition is minor.
Mixed feeling here... yes possibly there may be some security concern.
But i have a horrible feeling security concerns are a cover being used to ensure perpetuation of graft which would have much less opportunity if a foreign operator is hired.
Perhaps but they are BD and positions are valid in a diverse country like ours.
I can not quite fathom your position of murdering BD and still claiming to be BD. Politics is one thing but you should not allow that to float you into such an extreme position.
I would not say that I am also not...
My comment relating to deal signed was simply it was good, BA should engage globally as much as possible.
In relation to recruitment of BA personnel i should have put in a separate paragraph. No direct link was being made to the deal in my mind. However my comment stands, there are good...
How would SA employing our retired military folks just like they do pakistans destroy BD military?
And who are you to make judgement on the type of manpower BD exports.
BD ex military are a very skilled resource, more often than not with international experience. It is their field of...
SA investment proposal fails because they are not real. Their purpose is to keep SA in the media with a positive spin and perpetuate the myth of SA wealth. It is part of their soft power projection to balance the negative media coverage.
Anyone who comes to BD with a proposal does their...
This should not be in the BD section.
Retrospection in PK better belongs in PK section.
The union of two muslim parts of the subcontinent was a good thing and the concept rightly has and will continue to have sympathy in BD as the concept of muslim sovereignty was born here in Dhaka and was...
Cooperation is a good thing. I am all for it. I hope SA recruits BD personnel in their security forces.
SA is in a critical juncture where they may be undergoing a recalibration their future geo-strategic stance. BD must stand with it as one of the critical Muslim global player but more...
EU has a massively diverse export basket across many price points.
If you visit BD sometimes you will see bookies operate openly. Nothing mad about bringing them under the tax umbrella.
BDs economic policy formulation process is opaque and inconsistent and often exists to protect monopolies for no good reason and worse still to stifle dissent under bogus national security excuse.
I get in some areas BD needs to protect itself such as financial market because our internal...
BD is on course to becoming top 10 consumer market ofcourse EU would want to be part of that.
We also need to buy more from them where feasible. There are avenues where we can and should switch our imports away from China and India.
Your views of what products EU countries offer is frankly...
The point is we need them. We need to sweeten the deal.
BD can potentially do everything that Vietnam can. It would been easier if UK was still part of EU but alas....
