[xyxmt]

You guys are ridiculously immature. Both sides.

To the OP though, why all this animosity towards Bengalis?

thats how kids fight in school, let them be

And who paid back the largest share of the World Bank loans back during the 1960s?
US aid was meant for the whole of Pakistan and not just the West.

Awesome own goal!

These are trivial and cost next to nothing.

Anything major like huge bridges or massive power stations?

 

[DarkPrince]

We need to stop blaming pakistanis for everything and start blaming our incompetent politicians. Pakistani politicians are corrupted no doubt but much more capable then ours.

Oh building schools and universitiies is trivial work
By the way how many bridges and power station are built by Bangladesh since 1971.
Please donot mention PADMAR BRIDGE .

Jamuna bridge is our biggest achivement after independence.

Building a bridge is your biggest achivement.

Yes as they cost very little money.

Jamuna Bridge is one example and 950MW Ghorashal power station is another.

Edit - Padma Bridge is 50% complete and work has stated on the gigantic Roopur nuclear plant now.

Pakistan deserves blame as well as our own politicians.
No matter how much our own politicians steal and loot, it is nothing
compared to what the Pakistanis did.

I was talking about their capabilities. Sometimes i feel partition of india was a bad idea.

Well its a big bridge. It connected whole north bengal to dhaka city.

You want to live under fanatical Hindu rule like the Muslims in India currently?

Yes, BD politicians are bad but at least they are our own and not outsiders who will loot, loot and keep looting.

Look at some of the good stuff that is being built now:

1. Padma Bridge(BD)
2. Roopur Nuclear Power Station(Russia)
3. Dhaka Metro rail(Japan)
4. Matarbari Coal power Station(Japan)
5. Payra Coal Power Station(China)

You think under Pakistan any of this would be happening? Look at the silly list of virtually costless colleges/ universities that has been branded around to prove that Pakistan did something during 1947-1971 era. They built this in BD while they spent billions on the army that was dominated by West Pakistanis and then also spent mostly BD funds to build Pakistani infrastructure and cities.

Brother I feel very sorry for a nation of 160 million people whose biggest achievement are bridges and power stations.

As I gone thorough the old record I was astonished to see that it was policy of govt of pakistan to build every institution simultaneousely both in east and west pakistan.I am sure If BD were East pakistan then you guys would have been!
- Driving cars on motor ways
- Living in islamabad(at least two millions or may be more than that)
- Working in nuclear power stations
- Travelling in metro bus sysytem
- Flying F-16 and JF-17,
- Operating Agosta-class submarine(not used one ),
- Testing atomic bomb
- Testing Shaheen and Ghauri missiles,
-Manufacturing mashak,JF-17,khalid tank etc,
- Receiving trophies of world champions of cricket, hockey, squash and snooker
- Not being killed helplessly by BSF on border
- Not being trolled so easily by indians on PDF
- Who knows JF-17 would have been built in Dhakka
- Who knows Atomic bomb would have been tested in Agarthala along with Chaghi

Pakistan would have been fourth biggest nation of the world with almost one trillion dollar GDP.But it was your decision.You opted to be part of a week and helpless nation rather than a strong nation which is atomic and missile power.

No thanks. BD people are more interested in economic development rather than playing with guns and bombs.
We do not want a measly per capita growth rate of 3% like Pakistan, 6% is much better.

Anway, BD has a plan to create a very powerful conventional military by 2030.

Bangladesh was interested in economic development ? why was it a Basketcase for 20-30 years then ? All your people migrated to Pakistan . Even your TV/Film actresses remained in Pakistan well over 2000's .

We do not want a measly per capita growth rate of 3% like Pakistan, 6% is much better.

Not to mention you would have decent cities to live rather than living in 2 bedroom cramped shabby buildings . Or how about world class road infrastructure where you can drive from one place to another easily rather than breezing on Congo/Somalia like Roads ?
