Pretty much zilch, cept how to claim things on paper because few (3rd party wise) care to actually look past the lack of credible data streams. When they do, the dissonance inevitably hits hard and is repressed by the BD Govt (eg. ESCAP assessment by the UN, and city liveability index by the economist).
You have been to India for example, but have you been to Bangladesh? How much Indian media articles (or articles about India) do you come across on average compared to Bangladesh for both? This is the underlying problem in its essence on this matter to the factor of thousands of times globally.
But when people actually look at how BD people are doing in 3rd party parts of the (esp developed) world relative to others (so a consistent framework exists to compare), or in the off chance they actually visit BD to gauge the reality for themselves (as the economist did for Dhaka)....they quickly find out something really nasty is going on with BD govt claims through its paper-based data, politically compromised propaganda dept known as BBS (this isnt from me at all, this is what the corruption indices, GDDS category and ESCAP assessment all point to....along with the scale of the dissonance, severe polarised atmosphere and political servitude prevalence).
I just think there's too much negativity, In these threads.. Surely all the data coming out cannot be flawed especially if it's verified by multi lateral agencies
I know posters here tend to get over hyped and over enthusiastic at times, Specially those who live abroad.. But it's their corner of the forum let them discuss among them as long as they do not belittle others without provocation
Nothing wrong in celebrating national achievements.. We all do
Most Bangbros are sensible likable folk.. But PDF does tend to bring out the worse as well
