More Bangladeshis need to be brought in PDF and educated about the evil Indian design to stop this.

Well, we have 17 million Hindu population.Most of them have relatives in India and very much like to visit there.I have never meet any Hindu Bangladeshi who didn't gone to India at least once.They are perhaps 50 percent of all who go to India.Another 50 percent are muslim businessmen, traders, smugglers, patients or simply tourist having a thrill of visiting a foreign country.Current easy visa is also increasing the count.

stay at home and throw stones at govt like a true jamaati.
Stop $hitting and take lessons in economics.

1) ppl visiting other countries indicates they have money to spare, they are earning well means economy is doing well.
2) free movement of ppl gives greater choices.
3) ppl movement results in borrow/exchanging ideas and try to improve their own system. (Rotten ppl live in a well , they keep whining,burning and throwing stones)
4) ppl who visit India will soon aspire to visit other countries, which leads to ppl traveling to other countries as well. Which help them learn about others and compete with them as well.

your comment is like repenting on spending money on education. ppl are not idiots they will put their money where their mouth is.

Don't forget to return before the expiry of your VISA.

Don't forget to return before the expiry of your VISA.

You can't be sure about that.It would be infinitely better if you make Visa very very difficult to get.

Don't worry mostly they're Hindu.

Hence, not Bangladeshi?

Getting Indian visa is very easy these days. My father has I think five year long visa and he just need to buy a plane ticket to visit there. And the company he works for sends him there 3-4 times a year. And it almost takes no preparation to visit there. If Indians are displeased with this situation they are very welcomed to tighten the process.

hmmm no. Why would we be displeased with Bangladeshi visiting India. Even Pakistani visit India for meeting families, medical treatment, tours etc....

Our only concern are the illegals. Those who are legal immigrants, working here are always good and respected.

I think this is good for us that Indians are getting dependent on our money. People selling their services to the tourists and exporting their products to Bangladesh will act as our lobbyists in India and will help us to sustain pro-Bangladeshi govt in the provinces. We already have got one in Tripura.

Also, I think we should seriously consider the mass-circulation of Bangladeshi Taka in the Northeast and West Bengal that would help their economies to integrate with us.

It is simple. Find the illegals ones. Show us proof that they are from Bangladesh. Then send them back. But despite all the claims and every Indian encountering them everyday, your govt can't seem to find them.

The high figure is horrible. Indians should be careful of these poor and destitute tourists from a very poor BD. More than 95% of them will certainly prefer to become the happy residents of the very famous Bombay slums of a rich India instead of coming back to their native BD. This is how the number of BD people are increasing there year after year. We are happy, however, to dispose off another 15 Lakh people this year to our neighboring gutter country.
