Rising middle class in Bangladesh

[Banglar Lathial]

Yeah Laughing stock of the world when we found water on the moon, builded an ICBM and BMD system,Builded worlds cheapest car which even MITians vowed to,build a nuclear submarine,build a world class metro system which even mayor of london appreciated Right??
Keep the indhophobia to yourself....

Laughing stock of the world when you have the highest number of malnourished children, highest number of hungry, highest number of illiterate, highest number of diseased, highest number of poor, highest number of sanitationless people in the whole world but dream of beating your chests in front of the world by procuring aircraft carriers and sending probes that crash on the moon to stroke Hindutva egos before dozing off on your "Holy Drink" of "Gau Mutra" along the Ganges during Kumbh Mela, or carrying out Sati Daha.


Indian metro? Appreciated by whom? Has anybody heard of London metro ever being praised for its massiveness compared to Tokyo or Moscow, or its timeliness like Dubai or HK, or its cleanliness like Dubai or HK? Like most Western countries, they are probably a safe haven for criminals after certain hours in the afternoon. If London mayor praises something, given UK's history in South Asia, naturally all South Asians should be very skeptical.

The list goes further like this:

India is among 29 countries with the highest levels of hunger, stunted children and poorly fed women, according to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)’s “Global Hunger Index 2010. Over 200 million Indians sleep hungry at night which is higher than any other country in the world. Indeed, 1/3rd of the world's hungry live in India. When Indian states are compared to countries in the Global Hunger Index, Madhya Pradesh ranks between Ethiopia and Chad.

India's 200 million Dalits ( untouchables) continue to suffer today.

839 million have no sanitation services. Diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths daily—the same as if eight 200-person jumbo-jets crashed to the ground each day. Religious riots are part of life in India. Even today there is religious riots going on in Asam. Most strikingly, none of the neighbors likes India. Interestingly, my personal observation is that while Bangladeshi and Pakistani common people do not like India, the Sri Lankan and Nepalese common people hates India. The reason is amply manifested in this thread. So please keep your ICBM and Nuclear Submarine to yourself!!!

Don't fret dude!!! One thing I have come to know here that they project a huge superiority complex in order to hide an underlying acute inferiority complex

doesn't even know Delhi metro???Do dhaka even have a commuter rail?

London metro trains are puny when comared to Delhi metro new 8 coach rolling stock...

It is very clean and efficent and is one of Best metro systems in the world
It is already integrated with bus rapid transit and will be integrated with RRTS-a 150-200 km/h high speed commuter train service

I don't see how the article could be interpreted as indicating a good health of the BD economy? All the things indicated there were just indicative of massive consumption of imported goods. For a country to develop it needs industries, especially manufacturing industries. Engineering companies like Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Siemens, etc. Not large shopping malls, imported cars and expensive jewellery. I see absolutely no sign of those (the industries). So sorry, I don't see that Bangladesh is developing.

You are correct that the country needs more and more industrial units to produce goods within the country. However, this article is different and does not deal with that subject. It deals with a growing middle class in the country who consume goods and spend extravagantly. When the industries finally are built, these people will certainly go to buy the local goods. In such a case, the number of middle class families will also rise.

You claimed that London mayor praised Delhi Metro? Here's a report from a British newspaper on your "world class (!) Delhi metro".

Garbage at the gates: ***** and squalor surround the swanky New Delhi Metro station | Mail Online



Garbage at the gates: Filth and squalor surround the swanky New Delhi Metro station


The stench of urine hits you even before you come out of the 'worldclass' New Delhi Metro station.
Any positive impression that you may have had of the services inside evaporates completely at the sight of the heaps of garbage that greet you right outside the station.
Then you're left to carefully pick your way through the puddles of urine and excreta that complete the picture. Welcome to 'Incredible India'.




The world is their toilet: A man relieves himself amid garbage strewn right next to the station


Domestic travellers may just wrinkle their noses and move on but the experience of ***** and squalor surely leaves the international travellers disgusted, to put it mildly.
The Metro station on the Ajmeri Gate side, which gives easy access to travellers who want to board a train at the New Delhi railway station to head to other states, or the Airport Express Metro station or board any of the buses plying on the route, has turned into a hellhole of government apathy.



Climb every mountain: Mounds of rubbish lie dumped in front of the glitzy Metro station




First impressions: This is the sight that greets travellers as they come out of the station



Welcome: Another view of the sight that greets newcomers to the city

The area around the station has become easy dumping ground for plastic waste from the shops and eateries that have sprung up around.
And in the absence of dustbins or a regular waste disposal mechanism, locals say the place is getting worse day by day.
'After coming out of such a neat and clean Metro station, both Indians and foreigners have to face this unpleasant experience. Civic agencies must clean up the area and place a dumping container at a distance if necessary,' Vijay Mahajan, a local resident, said.

Do not take out Bangladesh independece war card, please. I presume, you are supposed to be grateful to us for giving you the only war win in 1971. Now, fight and try to win another war in any front in your west, east and north. You will be demolished like a powder cake with the sweet memory of 1971 embedded in your head. And, in the meantime, keep on working hard to elevate your country from a superpoor to a not-so-poor India.

A few highly selective pictures may not reflect real India!! What I have seen in India is the sharp contrast and odd looking differences in the living standard within Indian society. Probably, nowhere in the world you will experience this at such a scale. Not even in Rio which is notorious for unacceptable gap between the rich and poor population. Myself being from a developing country, I was shocked and could not believe my eyes at the size and extent of the Bombay shanty town stretched through such a huge area that from my flight as it was approaching Bombay air port, it appeared that whole Bombay was all about slums and shanty towns.

There are of course slums or shanty towns in many parts of the world, even in Western Europe I have seen one unusual slum in Copenhagen. In Rio for example there are many slum area including high rise slum area with full of problems; but the one in Bombay is incomparable. The pictures posted in this thread therefore do not portray India truly!!!

Brazil is about 64 places ahead of India on the HDI ranking; yet, I never found a single Brazilian making so much annoying noise like the Indians do everywhere. If you have a Brazilian and an Indian colleague in the same place, you will be able to see the difference easily!!!
