Figures published or predicted by various organisations (like IMF, World Bank) vary wildly. I do find the $130bn to $150bn range to be very conservative. The figure on Wikipedia is $160bn (don't know which organisation they sourced that from), still seems conservative. Going by growth rate over...

You are right, I am not sure about Turks, but the entire Middle Eastern region and North Africa people seem not very civilised. They seem aggressive generally and prone to violence, going by experience of them personally but also stereotype.

I don't think you know how Bangladeshis look. Have you been to Bangladesh? Plenty of Bangladeshis show West Asian influence on their phenotype and this is why some of us look different to Hindu Bengalis (but there is plenty of overlap with Hindu Bengalis also). You can always be selective when...

Of course everyone is a convert, even Arabs were converts, after that Iranians were converts. This does not mean converts can't have foreign blood. When a foreign people come into rule, they convert people but they also settle among local populace. There is some Perso-Turkic admixture in some...

How do you decipher from this chart alone that Bangladeshis were basically Hindu converts? Please explain. Where in the chart would this be suggested? Also remember, even if people have foreign admixture it doesn't mean they will cluster right amongst that foreign group. Many gypsies have...

Let's not forget India is a much bigger country both geographically but also in terms of population. I don't think comparing the two countries is at all fair. Bangladesh could become a half a trillion dollar economy within 12 to 15 years if everything goes well. I think maintaining a 6-7% annual...

Bangladesh GDP is roughly $170bn not $130bn, and roughly growing at 6% a year and expected to continue doing so for many years to come.

Contrary to popular belief,there are barely any Arab genes in Bangladesh. Bangladesh did have a port in Chittagong which actually had Arab traders bring Islam to Bangladesh as early as the 8th Century, but it was really Turkic movement into Bangladesh starting in the 12th century that brought...

Because when you submit to Harappa after receiving your results from whatever genetics firm you submit your DNA to, you cannot be sure if the figures are fiddled with as Harappa is run by a Pakistani, so we don't know what his ulterior motive could be, as he may want to show Bangladeshis to be...

Are most of the developments in this thread in place (at least in planned or starting phase) or are most simply dreamt up? I do think we need to build some really nice subarbs in the major cities, modelled on subarbs from major cities from across the world, like some you get in London, San...
