Include Bangladesh into G20: Yunus to Sarkozy

No India is a developing country and no foreign aid doesn't play any role in economy.

but still taking this 12 billion usd aid money

Since you asked the below is the source.

Helping Bangladesh

Two significant initiatives which India has taken to help Bangaldesh are, first, the promise of 250 Mw of power to the energy-deficient neighbour, even when India itself is in deficit, and, second, the offer of a $1-billion line of credit for infrastructure development. Another important Indian initiative is to reduce the list of negative items of import from Bangladesh and extend to Bangladesh the zero tariff treatment, available to Saarc’s less developed countries. In turn, Bangladesh has given India access to two ports, Chittagong and Mongla, through which Northeast India can access the Bay of Bengal. Both sides have taken small steps to facilitate transit of goods — through India from Nepal and Bhutan to Bangladesh and between India and its northeast through Bangladesh. Also, it has been decided to take forward the project to link Tripura by rail to Bangladesh.

Oh! India is giving us positive helps! That must be a news. Better you buy more BD goods and reduce your surplus with us. We do not need any other kind of Indian goodwill. Your positive assistance has enlarged the balance of payment to $3 billion in your favour, and a credit line will just increase it by the amount of credit that we decide to use.

I am talking about poverty with respect to population....

Bangladesh has 30% people below poverty line...

Poverty declines at faster rate

In india this figure is as high as 77% by some report but government of india accepted 37% figure...

It's official: 37 pc live below poverty line - India News - IBNLive

I was not talking about numbers as I know India has 1/3 rd of the poor people of the world and has poor people 26 sub saharan african countries combined and couple of times poor people then entire bd population.

My 2 cents..

That is because we do not use the Worldwide accepted definition of BPL as just access to food (on which you say BD has 30%), but rather the Indian definition of BPL includes Food,healthcare and education.

From the same link you provided;

India has a new way of defining poverty which is not based on just access to food, but also includes expenditure on health and education.

See the UN link which says India had only 28% poverty in 2000 - that was the because it was calculated on the World wide accepted norms and now it is 37 % because we introduced a new method.

UNdata | record view | Population below national poverty line, total, percentage

If that is included the Poverty rate for your country will be in the 60 and 70s. Try to think logically, if it is not too much to ask from you.

what is happening here...........?

Just ask your fellow Pakistani.. and other fellow bharti member... their heart start burning as Dr. Younus has asked sarkozy to add 5 developing country in G20 including Bangladesh.

At least this thread has exposed the real face and hoax of the so called well wisher and friendly neighbors claim....

I have a term paper submission. So I am out now. Will deal with the bhartis and other so much enthusiastic pakistanis tomorrow.

but still taking this 12 billion usd aid money :

Even countries like China recieve aid. Most countries on planet are net reciever of aid if i'm not wrong. it doesn't matter because in India's case aid money is peanuts when compared to govt's total expenditure, and wont make any difference if revoked. BTW, where did you get that 12 billion figure from?

In both the same case poverty has been measured in the same way. n what was your point of posting un value... read the article. it accepted the figure 40% of 2005 but it is now 30% and india despite of taking lower value it is 37% and its official.

Regarding your 27% poor in 2005 by un... read what was written in the link..

Are you for real ??

Cant you open your eyes and see its 37 % because the newly introduced Indian definition of BPL takes into account both education and healthcare expenses in addition to Food which is not the case for BD ?

If that is the case as I said the BPL % of your country will be somewhere in the 60s and 70s.

As I said that is because of the Newly introduced definition for BPL in India - Access to all three , Education,Food and Healthcare.

Not just Food as is calculated in BD.

Just ask your fellow abir how many people in india live with less then 1.5 dollar let alone 2 dollar....you will get your answer... main measure of calculating people below poverty line is how much they are earning...

tendulkar report said that 77 percent of the people live with less then .5 dollar a day... I am not sure how these people are not below poverty line and meeting educational and health care expenses after meeting food expenses...

Probably the report might be wrong.. According to the 2011 Census report the Literacy rate in India is 74.01%. How it should be possible if 77% of people live less than .5 dollar a day.

India has one of the highest young and youth populations.. So basically all those babies, kids at primary , secondary and higher schools and the ones in colleges live under half dollar as they dont earn anything and half dollar is pocket money from rich dad.


JUst a thought.

It doesnt matter how much you are earning..

What matters is "what you can do with the amount you are earning".

As I said the official BPL rate according to the Newly introduced definition of BPL in India is 37% and going by the worldwide accepted norm of just access to Food, its well below 25 %.

So BD doesn't come anywhere near to this.

Not a thought - it is the truth. But the BW dudes from the other side will not understand it.

education is subsidized by the government. in the rural area it is free... suppose in BD up class 8 education and book supply is free for both male and female and for female it is free up to grade 12 and government is considering to increase it to bachelors label... so you see education is not a big issue as it is subsidized by government. In the last 3 year literacy rate has been increased in bangladesh by 14 percent.

with .5 dollar a day they are meeting food expenses and then meeting health care and education expenses !!!!

.5 dollar is somewhat around 600 rupee... n with this Indian people are doing all these stuff... may be they are so lucky or price of everything including food is so cheap... in bangladesh a house main even get 1000 tk + food + accommodation... and a small room in a slum cost no less then 3000 tk...

n in india they are doing everything with 600 rupee... strange...
