My very last post to you Indians for now.
Well BD is not small in terms of population as it is around 150 million. It just needs to get rid of absolute poverty first and then can start spending more on defence for self-defence. Economic growth is 6%+ a year and so cash wont be short for much longer.
Not saying that BD can match India in any way but with a stronger BD in East and Pakistan on West, then India can be contained in South Asia.
LOL
Percentages and economic growth mean zilch in case of defense.
You need accumulated money, foreign reserves, credit ratings, foreign aid(in case of Pak) et cetra to procure and R&D weapons properly without worrying about how it will affect the current GDP.
Growth rates fall and rise every year and some countries have had high economic growth for a long time, that doesn't make them militarily capable.
If Bangladesh is not a BRIC country then neither is it anywhere near as capable as India nor is it seriously going affect the geopolitics of S.Asia for a long time to come.
Don't believe me?
Imagine how much money you need to offset everything about your economy and still influence a country like France to not give weapons to your geopolitical rival? That's how far Bangladesh is.
