Poverty to end by 2024

The economy without industrialization support is very fragile. For example, Russia. I remember Russia's per capita GDP in 2015 was 15000 USD., but in 2016, its per capita GDP was 8000 USD....
Yes, exactly. You have come to the same conclusion as mine that a country cannot progress forever without heavy industrialization and by producing industrial capital goods and millions of tons of consumer goods.

BD cannot even produce sewing machines and needles to start with. Even good quality nails are not produced. BD's present better economy is only due to the garments sector. Industrialization is still a few decades away. Whatever public works projects are accomplished is due to the infusion of Chinese, Japanese, and Indian money and technology.

There is almost no technology input by the locals. We are quite incompetent in mechanical, civil and all other engineering disciplines. This is why we cannot build our important bridges, and we cannot design and produce the machines needed in the factories. Yet, our BD brats talk 2041 as their target year to become a developed country. It is just a fantasy talk.

Unless BD does all the tedious jobs by itself no way there will be a self-sustained progress. It will come down like Russia or Brazil. The country will feel the pinch once the foreign loans are matured and BD has to pay back the money with interest. Self-help like it is in China or Japan is the best for a continuous progress.

@Black_cats Are you sure this guy is Bengali??
 
There is another group of Bangladeshi who always talk badly about Bangladesh to downplay any development work done by the current Government. Current government set a target to break the minimum threshold per capita GDP by 2041 to be considered as developed country. That created heart burn and butt hurt to many people like @bluesky.

So why is he always attacking his motherland? :o:
See the post above

Don't know whether he's doing it to get some attention or he really believes that.

But as far as his criticisms r concerned I think most of them r justified. He isn't attacking Bangladesh, rather attacking the over optimistic view of some of our dumb politicians. I would love to disagree with him in this regard, but the truth is, he's right about the fact that there's no way we r going to become a developed nation by 41. It's just impossible.

But the good thing is at least we have some sort of aim no matter how irrational it is.
 
He meant 1.90 dollar poverty line set by world Bank.This is universal absolute poverty line.Developed countries use various definition of relative poverty line which depends on their country's income level.

But I find it hilarious that, you Pakistanis try to ridicule us with Rice and Fish.Rice is the staple food for half of the global population.It is no way inferior than Chapati, red meat and daal based staple food in Pakistan.But you special dishes are mostly rice based,Biriyani, Polao etc.On the other hands, fish is a superior animal protein than red meat or poultry.If anything, you should be sorry that, due to agro-climatic factors, you can not make Rice and Fish as your staple diet.Bangladesh is fortunate in this regard.Rice and fish based staple diet are much more satisfying than any other staple diet.

You Bengalis suffer from a complex. To say that you eat rice and fish is a complement as fish is high in Omega 3 and other oils and good for the mind. Rice benefits is questionable as it has a lot of carbs and contributes to diabetes. Not sure why you feel insulted or fell it is a snide remark. so the next question is $1.90 what can an average low income Bangladeshi buy?

You should communicate for clarification or explanation and not go complaining to the MODS. As your Muslim brother I extend my hand of friendship and apologise for any hurt feelings.

Actually what such thing he said that you doubt his identity? This was ( that one you have quoted) a very realistic comment in my opinion.
Isn't it true that Bangladesh economy is currently based on garments sector ?
This is a reality of Bangladesh that even after 47 years of independence we did very bad in almost every sectors .
Yes we can improve it at faster pace but our politicians aren't good and they don't think about the development of our country.
This govt is trying to improve this country no doubt, but they just have started and we still have miles to go , so there is no reason to be over optimistic.
But sheikh Hasina herself declared that Bangladesh will be a developed an prosperous country by 2041. It's the most unrealistic comment .What is the realistic definition of a prosperous country?

So why is he always attacking his motherland? :o:
In this thread i find no post that is offensive to Bangladesh. Telling the truth isn't offense.
And beside I think he is actually criticising awami politicians, not Bangladesh.
Awami politicians talk much and work less.
It's Hasina who declared that by 2041 Bangladesh will be developed and prosperous country and that's not a realistic remark but must artificial showmanship , and Bangladeshi politicians are good at this.

Peoples who are criticising govt they are not necessarily basing motherland as Bangladesh is not yet one party state.
 
So why is he always attacking his motherland? :o:
I do not attack my motherland but its ruling politicians. It is because they talk big, deliver little, falsify data and concentrate on doing only the prestige projects instead of doing down on the earth projects that can improve the quality of people's lives. For examples, waterlogging, traffic system, garbage collection, etc.

If these problems are solved with a huge effort the quality of life will improve tremendously. But, the politicians are a bunch of shallow-minded people just as you are. No works so far on many such similar projects.

But, are you a real Chinese or a Bangladeshi living in China. I have seen many BD people in Kunming on my way to and from BD. Since you talk just like many other ignorant BD guys in this forum, I deduce you are a Bangladeshi with two false Chinese flags. I found you have little idea about the national economic development process and you are not willing to learn, just like many BD brats.

But, instead of attacking my person, mind telling me what the wrong statement did I make in the post that you have answered to? Did not I say the very obvious things?

I personally have serious doubts. Just my opinion...
I just doubt your own sanity. Is not you are the guy who brags about BD people drink a 300 Taka cup of tea? You are as insane as Hasina who started propagating BD to manufacture jet planes since three years ago.

When I say against these lies and fabrications you guys shamelessly start insulting me because you are without logic to prove my statements false. Just like Primary School kids.

Some of the Pakistanis are so used to Rice and Fish jokes to us, that any mention of that two words sound like a ridicule.Any way I am sorry if your intention was not ridiculing.

Diabetes can be minimize with a healthy diet containing moderate amount of Rice.Our main problem is, poor people have very less variation in their diet, they mostly depends on Rice.Which causes problem like diabetes.But diabetes can be kept under control even maintaining rice as staple diet. Japanese also have rice their staple diet.But their diabetes prevalence is one of the lowest in the world.Because they have balanced moderate amount of rice eating with other healthy foods.

I did not complained about you to MODS.Never.

Thank you my brother.Much appreciate to your outlook.And no hurt feeling on part of me.Cheers.:cheers:
