Bilal9 - We are a low income developing country of 1.2 billion people. A fact. It's also a fact that we have taken some taken giant strides in the last 2 decades or so as far as sustainable economic development is concerned. Things are not as bad as you make it sound. Of course there is still a lot to be achieved but you can feel the changes at the root level from agriculture to infrastructure to technology. The living conditions have improved. Literacy rate has improved. Government is undertaking a lot of infrastructural projects across the nation. It's also a fact that for some projects we have to rely on foreign tech because since we don't have enough technological know-how but which country doesn't. Even US relies on foreign tech. It's also a fact that we have been learning and undertaking proper capacity building simultaneously and it's part of the development plan.
Yes, we are still years behind China and frankly speaking there is no competition but that doesn't belittle our own achievements. We may not stand against Chinese competition but we are proud of our accomplishments. DMRC has won a lot of accolades already and i believe is competent enough for providing consultation to other cities. Having said that, BD can choose whatever she wants, it's her prerogative. What BD can't take away from us is our progress. There is still whole lot of work left, but we are on the right path. Peace.
