no its not . you are not turkey .
an aircraft fly over bd just 10- 12 to minutes and crossed it

No need to make parallel with Turkey. But, tell me how China, ASEAN and India can trade through land/rail with each other without first going through Bangladesh, and vice versa? So, BD is a junction for all these three groups of countries. However, China can directly trade with ASEAN without BD. Please read the map.

Hasina is not wrong on this count and we all know it for a long time.

The statement is true only if MM agrees to link itself with BD. As far as I know, it had vetoed the route of Asian Highways connecting it with BD. So, this highway route goes from BD to Indian NE and from there to MM.

MM is a rogue state following the examples of North Korea with the advice of India.

MM is a rogue state sheltered by Chinese veto and indifference of all its neighbors

Bangladesh geographic location had been in the cross road of south-east and south Asia BUT this same Hasina and her awami league regime refused to recognized that fact. Instead, Hasina, her regime and her propaganda support system propagating that Bangladesh is surrounded by india and need to be indian subservient. Whatever hint of change of heart people are seeing in Hasina, is just a tantrum play to clean her indian stooge image.
In reality all indian subservient acts by Hasina and her awami league are ongoing, in full swing.

Which country in South Asia do you have land borders with ?

‘Geographic position makes Bangladesh an ideal place to link East with West’

Bangladesh could be the perfect place to establish a link between the East and the West if the country can take advantage of its geographic location, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina believes.
“Bangladesh’s geographic position is very significant,” she told officials at a programme through videoconferencing from the Ganabhaban on Thursday, reports bdnews24.com.

“Bangladesh could be an ideal place for the link between the East and the West if we could develop the country to that end,” she added.

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had also wanted to establish Bangladesh as the “Switzerland of the East”, according to Hasina.
Switzerland’s geographic position is important in Europe because others need to cross it while travelling from one end to the other, said the prime minister.

“Bangladesh is also in between an international air route. We can explore the possibilities in this field. It will boost our tourism along with the aviation sector,” she said.

The prime minister inaugurated the Pani Bhaban, a mural of Bangabandhu, and a corner for the country’s founding father at Shahjalal International Airport, Parjatan Bhaban, and the construction of extended parts of Sylhet Osmani International Airport.

Has she studied Geography? Can she point to Bangladesh on a world map?

But, have you ever read the first page of geography? You must be the most illiterate on this subject. Better open the map and see what it says.

I think many Pakistanis feel jealous of our location. Yahya Khan did not read maps and Pakistan lost its eastern wing. Here comes another illiterate!! Thanks to @Homo Sapiens for supplying the map below. Go back to Primary School and learn how to read it. Know also which is north and which is south.

You are talking as if north east India is not having any land connection with mainland India..... sorry it's not like Azerbaijan nakcivan enclave..... it's very well connected with mainland India at siliguri corridor with 22km broad land mass....

Whatever you say. But, why your India keeps on begging and nagging us to get connection through our land to go to NE? Your Chicken Neck is full of mountainous terrain and a 1,000 km too long a distance. Even the Asian Highway route connects Kolkata with NE through our land.

You just cannot bypass BD and connect with ASEAN and China without BD helping you to do so. In our case, we do not need any Indian connectivity. We can go to ASEAN and China without using Indian corridor.

However, BD may demand a reciprocal Indian corridor to connect or trade with Pakistan in the future.

If paying you for using your land routes is begging I can't say much..... stop charging us transit fees and then behave like doing some EHSAAN.....

Stupid, why do you beat about the bush instead of accepting the truth that BD is the land bridge between India and China as well as India and ASEAN. No Indian land/railway trade without BD giving concession to India. This is the reality.

To supply NE to save cost and time is understood..... but why would we need BD to connect China or ASEAN???

How will you go to China or ASEAN? Either you invent a new railway that will fly over the Himalayas to China or BD gives you corridor. You cannot also go to ASEAN without BD land because even to go to NE you are begging BD to grant corridor. So, how can mainland India connect with ASEAN without BD permitting corridor?

Are you playing catch ball here? No wonder, Indians are known as full retard. Instead of repeating the same, you better read the maps.

 

[Chhatrapati]

How will you go to China or ASEAN?

By plane.


On a serious note, trade with China and ASEAN is cheaper through waterways. After a certain distance trade through roads is expensive, it requires rail connectivity. Something which is coming up in Nepal, I hear.

Go take a good hard look at a map of the region.



If you don't see it, what we are referring to, then I'm afraid you can't be helped, should've focused more in social studies/ Geography class.
