How does Faridpur, my ancestral district, fare?

We know what we are, we never bothered about anyone else's opinion and our financial and back channel influence is the testament of our capacity.

Sylhet isn’t even an industrialised Division and GoB is yet to build a highway here, entire governance and infrastructure sucks. Still, Sylhet is a heaven because of us Sylhetis.

Encroachment of governments land (Railway, haor, forrest) isnt free movement. How many non Sylhetis can afford to buy privately owned land from us? As a group we maintain highest per cap income and wealth in Bangladesh.

We always gave more than we took if GoB ever bothered to give us anything at all. Since Independence GoB is mining natural resources from Sylhet without even building a Dhaka-Sylhet Highway.

We did better in British era than being a part of Pakistan and currently Bangladesh. And Bangladesh isn’t even a democracy! lol...

Can Sylhet secede from Bangladesh to avoid such genocidal exploitation?

Wake up bro, that's just how countries work, should the people of Dhaka complain that their city has been taken over? Or should I as a person from Chittagong riot because my roads are being wrecked (by container trucks) so that the country can afford to put food on the table for ALL the people in Bangladesh (essentially).




Think before you post such stuff, the logic you're using belongs in Pakistan and India, not here, not in Bangladesh, where we're one people, one culture and one way of life.

One could have taken his rants seriously if only Sylhet's infrastructure were poor while rest of the country had better infrastructure. But this not the case, All of Bangladesh has poor infrastructure. Even Dhaka has severe infrastructure bottleneck making it the worst place in Bangladesh for a healthy living. Problem is low govt. revenue collection and low spending on infrastructure. india's tax collection is 20 percent of GDP, while Bangladesh's only 8 percent. So Bangladesh govt. could not undertake many vital infrastructure proects till now which should have been taken decades ago, which India even Pakistan did.
