Bangladesh: A Closer Look at Hunger and Undernutrition

[Neptune_]

Always knew Bangladesh is much ahead of India and Pakistan in this regard.

However, its just only the start. As a country we belong to a different league. Hence, in the coming years with the strong leadership of hasina we will move further ahead in our journey to become the shinning beacon of Southasia.

Yep, BD works on a different trajectory to rest of S Asia - Sri Lanka sold their soul to China which BD refused to do.

It is a focused unitary country governed by the economically competent AL.

Yup. I think China has already realised it. We have good relation with China only on economic terms. But if they try to take any sort of advantage like the way they took advantage of Pak and SL , they will be shown their place.

the registration papers themselves can be faked... you'll have plates on your car and papers for the police but no record of the said car existing in bd

Well, there's nothing to support your claim except you or some random anonymous bongs over internet claim so because If have to believe you that level of corruption in Bangladesh is that much high that most of people are driving vehicles with fake license plates and registration papers, your police is letting it happen, your customs letting most of vehicles be brought into country without any record, car dealers are selling most of vehicles without showing in their sales figures, then how we should believe on other stats which your officials are giving to international agencies for compiling reports?

I haven't come across any news that most of vehicles in Bangladesh are with fake registration. Below car sales report is inline with registration record ….

Around 63 cars are sold in Bangladesh every day now – the highest in the country’s history – with the number of imported cars having increased threefold since the 2012-13 fiscal year. “Bangladesh imported around 11,476 cars in the last six months (July 2017- December 2017) to fulfil the growing public demand,” said Habib Ullah Dawn, president of the Bangladesh Reconditioned Vehicles Importers and Dealers Association (Barvida). According to the Barvida, around 7,353 reconditioned cars were sold in FY2012-13, and 20,149 cars were sold in FY2016-17. Why are car sales increasing in Bangladesh? Car importers, vendors and banks say there has been a big jump in the purchasing capacity of the middle class as well as an emergence of easier credit facilities. The lack of standard public transport in Dhaka and the affordable price of cars are also reasons for the boost, according to car importers. “We are amazed that 11,476 cars were sold in just the last six months,” said Md Habib Ullah Dawn. “However, if the political situation gets ugly in the wake of the upcoming national elections at the end of this year, sales might fall again,” he added.

You mean most of people drive cars without number plates in Bangladesh?

Don't bother. You point out average income of Bangladeshi in US (in US census) and they will start crying up and down that its because BD people have lot of undisclosed income lol.

They want to live in their dream world of superpower LDC....let them lol.

 

[Fledgingwings]

nope... they're faked the registration of a vehicle often do not match with the registered model.... for example... a land cruiser sometimes is registered as a RAv 4 and so on

Dont they get busted for that?? Isnt it illegal?

They can claim anything they want but they should at-least take position that their government figures are reliable or untrustworthy because of corruption. But they keep jumping from one boat to other.

Bangladesh is a super developed rich country just posing to be poor. 99.999% of its economy is actually black economy. They do this by consuming everything through bribes etc....so the actual consumption statistics (like say Bangladesh per capita consuming energy today that Ind/Pak did in the 50s) are very very undercounted.

It is all a conspiracy against the great shonar republic to show anything illustrating how little they consume even compared to the region.

Let us look at below graphs for primary energy consumption to 2016 for BD and Pakistan:

https://knoema.com/atlas/Bangladesh/Primary-energy-consumption

https://knoema.com/atlas/Pakistan/Primary-energy-consumption

As you can see, when you factor in difference in population, BD is at around half the energy usage of Pakistan.

I have no idea where you got 1950s Pakistan energy consumption from ?!

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would know that this cannot be true when BD people in 2019 enjoy 5000K PPP when it was probably somewhere between 1-2K PPP in 1950s Pakistan.

This data shows that BD energy consumption is now on the level of mid 1990s Pakistan(as BD is growing much quicker). Since 1980 BD has increased it's energy consumption by around 10 times whereas Pakistan has increased by only 5 times in the same time period.

Just in your fantasy. Height in Bangladesh is increasing. New generation is much taller now. In cities average now 5'7 for male. There are plenty of 5'10 or above 6' now in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh will soon overtake Pakistan in terms of height. Now it is 5' 4.4 inch vs 5' 5.7 inch. In next 10-20 years it may happen due to reduction of poverty and undernourishment.

https://www.newsweek.com/these-are-countries-shortest-men-world-1165016?slide=34

16 is Bangladesh, 47 is Pakistan

Height of Pakistanis has fallen 4 inches over 50 years, say experts

You are attempting to reason with a troll !

The way it goes you troll the troll !

This is the way I deal with trolls.
Let me tell you a little joke from the times of British Raj.

A Punjabi/Afghani man catches a thief. He ties the thief to a tree, and then he goes out to get the police. The white policeman at the station asks him if he tied the thief well so he can't get away. The man proudly says, " I tied both of his legs to the tree, there is no way he can get away !" Alarmed at this revelation, the policeman says the thief is just going to use his hands to untie himself to make a clean getaway, and in all likelihood the thief is probably already gone.

The man takes a moment to think it through then says with a smile, " He is Punjabi/Afghani like me, if I am dumb enough to tie his legs to a tree, then he is not bright enough to untie himself using his hands !"

The moral of this story is, " All that height is of no use if the brain is located under the knee"

Why is Syhlet being under developed? It's figures are twice as bad as anywhere else.

Wesay, we should learn what worked in Bangladesh and implement it, other than the worship of the Gangadeshis.

Guess which countries I think of? ...Poland, Iraq, Turkey, NK, Georgia, Ukraine...
