India, Pakistan and Bangladesh 70 years after the British left

[Samurai_assassin]

Only in recent times Bangladesh has to deal with a major crisis such as the Rohingya crisis. Pakistan has had to deal with a war torn neighbour and 5 million of its refugees for nearly 40 years. This has badly affected any economic growth. Remember the Afghan war of 1971 to present day was ultimately pushed into Pakistan, badly affecting the country in every possible way. Bangladesh has had relative peace in its region from when it became independent. for the past 17 years Pakistan has fought on the front lines to defend its borders yet at the same time several Muslim nations have perished from Somalia, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen & Afghanistan. By the grace and mercy of God Pakistan is still here.

This chart is a bullshit.Noway Bangladesh's per capita ppp even in 1990 G-K dollar is only one-third of India in 2010.By this chart Indian per capita increased by more than 5 times and Pakistan by 4 times but Bangladesh, only 2 times! When cumulative growth of Bangladesh over this 6 decades are not much behind of India and Pakistan.There is something seriously wrong in this chart.

You're right. Although I liked where Mr. Chakravarti was going with the article, I did not agree with him on that single factor. Bangladesh' per capita GDP is a lot higher than what this article shows.

How can refugees affect economic growth?

They are largely fed and camped courtesy of UNHCR which has permanent funding from all member states. Unless I am totally off base.

Bangladesh already had 800,000 Rohingyas coming in during the past decade or so who were already there. Add to this the current 800,000 and we're easily exceeding 1.5 million.

I doubt this will have a deleterious effect on our economy however. 160 million vs. 1.6 million is 1%.

Even though indians have the smallest :

Looks like your wife, daughter, mama or sister will forever be deprived. I feel sorry for them........

PS How does your mama and wife like it? in their mouth or from behind? .........

Guys - can we like, stop with all the back and forth sexual innuendos?

This is a 'G' rated forum I thought. And I just had lunch.

All Bangladeshi data is compromised politically (no surprise given the 3 million genocide claim that is prosecutable by LAW if you challenge it inside BD) compared to India and Pakistan, so its not really a good level playing field to compare (especially when you see how seriously behind Bangladesh is when we choose only 3rd party verifiable statistics to compare the countries):

https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/repository-for-bd-statistics-bbs-quality-credibility.525379/

Essentially Bangladesh could have 80% poverty, massive infant mortality, depleted life expectancy, much higher population (because their census is terrible too) and everything else that goes with it (which would coincide a lot better with their atrocious quality of living as measured in Dhaka by 3rd parties like the economist than their BAL govt who we all know as paragons of truth and honesty).... and no one would really know any better (because no one really cares about BD in the first place other than some MSM+SJW types who extend automatic belief to miracle paper based development without any backing credibility research because it suits their globalist propoganda) @Desert Fox

As long as BD churns out the low value underwear and continues as a dumping ground for rohingya, with next to no thoroughfare of tourists (to actually see the real BD and pose questions and expose problems) to especially off the beaten path parts.... they can claim whatever development they want to in the envelope of ignorance/disinterest thats afforded.

Pakistan and India in comparison are actually improving their corruption and credibility over time and are far ahead on that issue than Bangladesh which is stuck rotting in its BAL mind groupthink disease:

40 years of instability and war in Afghanistan pushed into Pakistan caused huge economic challenges in Pakistan. Refugees is only apart of it. If Bangladesh had to face what Pakistan has faced these past 17 years BD would have collapsed. It is a miracle and blessing from the Almighty that Pakistan is still here today after man made disasters, corruption, huge earthquake/ floods etc. Pakistan went through turmoil similar as to what several Muslims nations went through but still managed to survive. Libya Yemen Iraq Afghanistan Syria have completly been destroyed. Remember Pakistan is situate between grave hostile nations it is forever on standby. BD has not had to face the same challenges as Pak has.

What are you talking about? PK has one of the best geographical location AND 5 times more land per capita. BD also gets flood and probably goes through way more than what PK does. And corruption and instability? Really? BD went through authoritarianism in the 80s and only had stable (not really) democracy from the 90's. 5 times dense population, much worse geographical location, dictatorship, war and so on and you are saying PK had bad luck? You are really reaching mate.

Another thread where Bangladeshis can justify their existence.

Half of Pakistan's problems related to economy is caused by corrupt to the core politicians.

 

[my2cents]

Which daily strife are you referring?

Sectarian conflict between shia, sunni, ahmedia etc which has taken many lives.

No no no, its more like rubbing more salt on Pakistani wound...

75% of Bangladeshi economic problems caused by corrupt politicians. So?

And since when do those happen daily?

 

[Flynn Swagmire]

You are not rubbing salt into our wounds. The creation of bangladesh was just as inevitable as the creation of Pakistan. bangladesh is 6× smaller than Pakistan and is 1000kms away from us. You are guys are completely different to Pakistanis physically, racially, genetically, culturally and historically. OF COURSE you will then ultimately get your own country. Pakistanis are geographically and racially far more closer to Iranians and Turks than to bangladeshis yet we can't form a nation with them so how can we with you guys?

Yes, yes! But the problem is its Bangladesh who dumped Pakistan... LOL

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

Yes, yes! But the problem is its Bangladesh who dumped Pakistan... LOL

No worries. It was your prerogative to do so. We have NOTHING in common with you people so you have the right to "dump" us and anyone else who is foreign/alien to you. Every race/nation does. We did it to the indians and you did it to us. Race, blood and genetics trumps everything

You can't rub any salt on Pakistani wounds because Pakistan has never accepted that territory as their by heart. Bangladesh was, is and remain insignificant to Pakistan. Nobody in Pakistan cares if Bangladesh progress or gets destroyed. For most Pakistanis Bangladesh is just a country like Somalia is or Madagascar is. You are the ones making noises even after almost 50 years of your independence, just to keep yourself relevant to Pakistan.

What I appreciate about Bangladesh is that the politicians are honest, it is not the case with Pakistan. Pakistan have the most corrupted politicians in the entire universe. Pakistani politicians have properties and illegal money in Dubai, Riyadh, Sharjah, Abudhabi, Switzerland, London, New York, etc. They just come to power for making money for these 5 years and then leave the country for next 1 or 2 decades. Currently look at the on going issue of Ishaq Dar Pakistan's finance minister, who came to power along with Sharif govt and after looting and destroying economy he have left the country, he did the same thing in 1992. NAB is trying to issue warrants through interpol this time. The point being, you don' have such corrupt politicians in Bangladesh.
