Bangladesh Army

This is also the case with India. except for a few comparatively richer states in western and southern sides(Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu), most of their state budget comes from Central govt's tax share and grants. Some poorer states like those in north east, 90 percent money of their state budget comes from Delhi. Even West Bengal get more than half of their state budget from Delhi. BIMARU states get more percentage than West Bengal. So, it is difficult to calculate total budget in federal states like India or Pakistan. For that you need to take into account of whole federal budget+(state budget - federal transfer)=Total budget.

Indian total budget is around 30 percent of their GDP and for Bangladesh is just 18 percent. This is the main reason we have worse infrastructure and defence spending. If we had 30 percent GDP as a budget, then spending 2% of GDP for defence would not be a problem. And our roads, airports, railway, hospitals, universities would looked much better.
In Pakistan less developed provinces are given NFC award (additional money) for development.

But yeah, after 18th amendment Pakistani provinces are autonomous.

NFC awards are not additional and it is given irrespective of developmental status. It is given to all province or state determined by different criteria such as population size, strategic position, backwardness and other factors. It is the share of tax collected by central govt. which is distributed among the provinces without any prejudice and with a fixed percentage. For example, in India, 42 percent of tax collected by central govt. goes to state budget at fixed percentage set by a commission and the rest of the 58 percent goes to bear the expenses of central govt. which includes spending on defence, foreign affairs, central police, various centrally sponsored scheme in various states such as building interstate highways, railways etc.

I inquired about PK provincial and federal budget. Seems like federal govt only keep defense and loan payment in its hand and rest of the money is transferred to provinces who then make their own budget with the money. I think all federal countries do the same. Provinces probably have some of their own income too but major funds come from federal budget.
For Pakistan's case, even if we take into account of the province's own tax collection, the total budget (federal+provincial) are unlikely to be more than 55 billion dollar out of which 46 billion is the federal budget. Because 70-80 percent of provincial budget money comes from NFC award given from federal budget. For example, Punjab province just announced their budget, which is 2.3 trillion Rupees. Out of this amount, 1.6 trillion Rupees are federal NFC awards. Punjab's own revenue is just 388.4 billion Rupees. I had assumed that, Pakistan's total budget(federal+provincial) would be in line of 70-80 billion dollar, but it is actually unlikely to be more than 55 billion dollar.

In Pakistan the tax ratio is 2%.

State borrowing included in this $55 billion figure. For Punjab's case, out of 700 billion Rupee own resources, 388 billion is own tax revenue and 312 billion is provincial borrowing. Punjab is more than half of Pakistan's economy, so if Punjab provincial govt. can collect 700 billion from it's own tax + borrowing then it is unlikely that other all provinces combined could master anything more than 700 billion rupees. So, total 1400 billion rupees by all province combined, which translate to $9.2 billion. Add this with federal budget of $46 billion. It comes 55.2 billion dollar.

Why does bangaldesh have army?
Who is their enemy and who are the supposed to fight?
They must give their defence to India even merge with Indian union to form joint bengal.

Why does pakistan have an army. Its a bankrupt begger nation that has never won a war. It has managed to lose significant proportion of its territory to a civilian uprising and willingly ceeded its sovereign territory to another country.
It is a major source of terrorism, gives shelter to terrorists and in return its population is indiscriminately bombed by the west.

Whats the point. They must give their defense to india even merge with indian union to form joint punjab.

Ouch .... Shahid ap ke dil pe bought zor se lagi hai baat.
Anyways are you Bangladeshi or Indian? Ethnically I mean...
Yes we are poor and beggar nation as you put it but we have our own challenges... 2 of our neighbours are our mortal enemy and third are also fanatics. We are fighting an enemy 7x our size and we have to maintain that army for our protection .

Where as Bangladesh has no such problem. Non of their neighbours are their enemies heck they don't even have enemy in the world .
So it is quite logical not to have defence forces. Bangladesh could become something like Scotland, a totally dependent country which is only connected to Britain for defence, monarchy and few other things. And so it saves them a lot of trouble.
You Bangladeshi are werid, you take any opinion so hard and you egos went sky rocketing .
Yes Pakistan has lost bangaldesh and Bangladeshi are ruling it. Its a sad thing, but still we never let India merge bangaldesh and Atleast bangaldesh become a sovereign nation .
But now there is no need for it .
India a far bigger economy can support your defence needs while you can become developed country by 2050 .
And people of bengal from both sides want this be it Hindu or Muslim .
Pakistani punjab doesn't consist of punjabis only, it has many ethnicities such as sirikis, potoharis, rajistanis and others.. And we have.no connection back to Indian punjab . Half of Indian punjabis don't even understand punjabi accents and they are all Sikhs.
So it's very illogical to say that.

PK will do far better within Indian territory..
Why?
What are your reasons for saying that?
Please elaborate ?
Look let me explain logically (usually it doesn't have any effect though)
Pakistan is a union and India is a union . Pakistan has 5 provinces .
Each province has Atleast 4 different major ethnicities. They are seperate provinces pre partition and they were merged after Pakistan was created which is very wrong step but we are in the process of making new provinces inshallah.
India has many ethnicities .
Pakistan has many ethnicities .
Only punjabi ethnicity is common with Indian punjab . Neither Sindh, nor balochistan, nor kpk, nor gilgit baltistan has any common nationality with Pakistan .

But bangaldesh has only one ethnicity.
And they are same with the Indian ethnicity.. Bangladeshi people love to shop in calcutta . Bangladeshi people love to watch Indian bengal channels . Even bangla people of different religion love each other .
Hindu bangla or Muslim bangla are same people.
Bangaldesh negates the 2 nation theory and form they nation on the base of ethnicity . How can they form an ethnic nation and not unite the bengal?
The dream of forming an ethnic bangla nation is not yet fulfilled.
India is too powerful to fight .
But you can unite under Indian Union, even can be autonomous under Indian Union.
The benefits are tremendous for you.
You can spend the money used on the defence on your people and become a developed country by 2050.
The creation of Bangladesh I repeat is on the basis of ethnicity and it is incomplete untill the both sides of bangal unite.
While Pakistani ethnicities have nothing common with Indian ones .
Hence there is no desire in people for merger or anything as exist between two sides of bengal .
