BTW do you support Gorkhaland? (including the status of Siliguri). Also very interesting phenomenon. :lol:

I don't agree with withholding education from them but socio-economic integration is a bad idea and will only bring more resentment from locals. I also support family-planning programs which have seen some success already. Like I've stated in the past, Rohingyas would've gained much more...

We lost out big time in 1947 but ultimately unlike Punjabi and Haryanvi Muslims in greater East Punjab, west Bengali Muslim population was able to recover, albeit most of its intelligentsia has migrated to Bangladesh.

Unfortunately (fortunately for him), this guy is just the Health Minister of the "Myanmar government in exile". But, it is still a positive development seeing that prominent NLD party members now care about the issue (of course to gain international support after the whole genocide-denial)...

Aren't you from the US too? "Allegedly" Turkish American.

BJP went from 3 to 77 seats because people voted to spite the AITC (including communists/left leaning people). They saw as it as the only viable chance to route Trinamool. If you suddenly think that there are no communist-leaning folks there or they suddenly took up the cause of Hindutva, you're...

Trinamool cannot be defeated in West Bengal. I dislike them on their stance on the Teesta sharing issue (it is in their interest after all), but they've been doing great against the BJP and the like. They need to expand in Assam and unite with the AIUDF to represent the Bengali voices in Barak...

Some positive development even if very miniscule

Have you ever used the circular railway? None of my relatives seem to know about it and I've never seen it in person.

Something seriously wrong with these people to go endure conditions like this in a foreign land

Agreed, but to be fair to the BD government, in Myanmar military-backed conglomerates like the MEHL and MECL generate billions of dollars in revenue, so their military budget is considerably higher than what's reported (which already makes up a lion's share of the national budget). Military-wise...

True, but they won't let it come to that in the first place. The Jietai Navy is bigger than the whole Russian Navy, let alone the Pacific Fleet so they won't concede land unnecessarily to a major US-ally. Other factors such as energy and fishing rights in the region need to also be taken to...

Russia won't give them back as they control the warm water passage out of the Sea of Okhotsk but of course they right fully belong to Japan. Even Karafuto (Sakhalin) and the rest of Chishima (Kurils) were stolen, albeit 'legally' through treaty after deporting 400-500K people which also included...

Neither BNP or BAL are responsible for Bangladesh's economic resurgence. Also, there's not much difference between the two parties ideologically at the current moment. People who support one or the other do due to tribalistic reasons, just like football clubs or national teams. Whatever...

Only ones made in Pakistani roadside shops, not all roadside shops.

You're welcome. We do produce the finest extra small (XS) underwear in the world.

It's going from Serbia to Bangladesh, and crashed in Greece.

The government needs to get rid of the need for permission 30 days in advance of visiting the Chittagong Hill Tracts. If necessary due to security concerns, bring it down to a week. Even locals need permission everywhere there. I understand the need for security but in such a highly militarized...

That's grape.

It's okay bhai. We can develop our own way by making underwear and shirts, while they do it by exporting fighter jets. We may never get the globally acclaimed image Pakistan and its economy has, but I think the path Bangladesh is following is good enough.
