What the hell is India doing, China isn't comparable to India anymore. Chest thumping nationalism is fine with Pakistan till you get nuked but China can mess you up anyways..
I think in 2017 the estimate is a GDP of $246 billion for BD and $308 billion for Pakistan, giving the former a slightly lower GDP per capita.
I dont think Bangladesh has actually overtaken Pakistan by GDP per capita now but inevitably will within a few years. It depends on the GDP base change...

It does have a relatively low population density compared to India but more desert as well.

Regardless it is still lower by the labour force size and...
Bangladesh still has a larger labour force since its population was historically higher until quite recently (72 million vs 68 million). It hasnt surpassed by nominal GDP per capita yet although it probably will have 2020. Pakistan also has a much higher GDP (PPP) so in reality Bangladesh is...
