We need Bangladeshi-origin people in important Western positions in large numbers.
While they cannnot be expected to compromise the national interests of their respectively host nations, what we might see is more reasonable policies towards Bangladesh.
For example, if there were more Bangladeshi representations in the US Congress, State Department and DoD, we might have seen less unreasonable strings being attached on major major military hardware exports as the US knows very well that Bangladesh will not go around attacking other nations unnecessarily.
The same goes for reinstatement of GSP privileges.
This is why I support brain drain. Bangladesh will never produce enough high paying jobs locally for everyone (90 million+ adults) due to resource constraints no matter how much we industrialise. In order to reach high income per capita, we need to churn out tens of millions quality, skilled expats. If we send millions of well educated expats to the West, thousands of them would inevitably reach top positions of governments and corporations.
Investing in education to create infernational standard universities and trade schools is a no-brainer.
If everyone has access to quality education, we would still have enough talented people staying back to develop local industries.
For example, if we produce 80 million quality grads and tradespeople and 50 million end up emigrating, we would still have 30 million to man our industries.
