Bangladesh military 57th most-powerful in the world

Is that why during 1947-1971 there was massive economic and political discrimination against BD?

Need not to worry about what or what not happened. Obviously things did not worked out as anticipated, hence, the separation.

I personally not bugged down in the past because that can not be changed.

I only like to focus on the present.

I don’t worry too much about future because it’s not known and it’s full of uncertainty.

Now Bangladesh is in 56th position.Only thing changed in GFP is that they included 2 submarine.

But according to GFP, Bangladesh's defence budget freezed at 1.59 billion dollar for the last 5 years! But in reality it is now more than doubled. GFP counted absolute 0 towed artillery of Bangladesh army.But in reality, army has 510 pieces towed artillery.I wonder, they were quick to include submarine but ignored the elephant in the room, 510 pieces of towed artillery!!

Active personnel count also outdated, now at least 220k instead of 160k shown.Reserve personnel also showed very small at 65k.It is several times than this in reality.Roadway coverage shown only 21,269 km, which only includes national and regional highways under ministry of RHD.Total paved road now stand over 120k km.For other countries, GFP counted the entire length of road coverage.If these updates were taken into account, then I think, BD's real ranking would comes to around 40s.
