How people perceive and think about ties with India

The Independent-RDC Public Poll-3

STAFF REPORTER



The Independent, in collaboration with the Research and Development Center, has commissioned a continuing programme of opinion surveys in Bangladesh to determine what the adult public thinks of important contemporary issue. We have designed this exercise to be the most comprehensive survey of what the common citizen feels about vital matters in the public life of our country. The survey will also track key social and economic trends at the household and individual level.

The Independent and RDC Public Poll surveys will often offer a surprise and contrast to the views and reportage of the existing state of information offered by the mainstream media. Indeed, the very purpose of these surveys is to try and reveal the possible and potential gap between presumed and actual realities of public opinion. Overall, our surveys will provide a richer context for public understanding as well as understanding the public in Bangladesh.

The Independent-RDC Public Poll 3 specifically looked at our bilateral ties with neighbouring India. As expected, the opinion was sharply polarized on the issue; but overall those who were well-disposed towards India formed a thin majority.

Isha Khan commented to me -

If a political analyst or commentator had informed me that most people in Bangladesh are well disposed to India and that New Delhi had good intentions towards this country I would assume that he was recently released from Pabna lunatic asylum or was a paid agent of RAW or was a die-hard Awami Leaguer. To my utter surprise an apparently respectable (but unknown) organization (Research and Development Centre) had conducted a survey amongst (presumably sane) Bangladeshis asking them their impression about India’s attitude towards Bangladesh. A staggering 45% of those surveyed apparently believed that India had a good disposition towards the country while a minority (35%) believed that it did not and 19% did not know. The terms of reference of the survey were not revealed or who the sponsors of this Research and Development Centre were or how the survey was conducted. I can only assume that the survey had been done in areas with a large proportion of Indian and AL constituents (possible in and around the Indian High Commission) or that like the 2008 elections it had been hijacked by Indian agents and their local stooges. Fortunately The Independent saved us from embarrassment by emphasizing that the survey only showed a ‘thin majority’ who believed India was friendly towards Bangladesh.

Slum dwellers defining the success of nations.

yes we have millions of slum dwellers in our country. but last time i checked we were the second fastest growing nation and the number of slum dwellers were decreasing at a good pace. so yeah, we know how to define success.

now i can slam your country back, but then that would be stooping to your level.

Slums are our own and they are our people, why should you have problem with that. They are also human being, respect them, if not as Indian then at least as human.

At least they are not burning their own cities into ashes, isn't it?

Atleast we dont live in caves like the tribals in your northwest. Nor do we have millions living in refugee camps.

Our percapita GDP is more that yours despite having such a large population. Shows who the slum dweller is
