You are correct we are a low industrial area. We are bounded by international borders on all sides and are not free to trade and prosper with our neighbors..Delhi control our destiny.
Whatever your GDP on paper is not my concern, my concern is that your countrymen are either poor or overpopulated enough to come to our place and not vice versa ( infact indigenous beggary /starvation is literally unknown in our hill states inspite of our low GDP because we are equitable societies).
GDP on paper?
No amount of naysaying will disprove Bangladesh' road to progress which is based on solid economic fundamentals, and not on CAA/NRC lies.
You have never been to Dhaka city - I suggest you take a trip over here sometime to see the real conditions here. Not everyone is poor in Bangladesh, only some are.
To suggest that NE people are all higher class folks compared to Bangladesh is laughable.
Some of the NE Indian academic folks come to Dhaka to take part in rural micro-financing and other workshops. You should talk to them about some of the lessons they have been taught which they took back.
One thing is for sure, no one in Bangladesh is as intolerant as some of the NE folks, equitable society or not. This may result from ingrained lack of exposure and selfishness not corrected at puberty, the combination being a dangerous thing.
There are 4.5 lac illegal working class Indians in Dhaka city itself working in garments, nail salons, haircut places, a majority are 'Pahari' illegals from the NE states. These NE states people would not come here if they were not poor or if there wasn't a way to make money. They also comprise the majority of sex workers in this city, I'm told.
We could have kicked these people out if we wanted to, but we also understand that there is a need for skilled people, and even for sex workers and beauty salon workers, sometimes in the same building. No self-respecting Bengali will do these jobs, no matter how poor.
But NE Indians of various stripes are open to these. We are a practical bunch and not as intolerant and selfish as some NE folks, judged by events in these NE states.
We can cry all we want about 'my poor are better than your poor', and that 'your poor are darkies and they suck'....
At the end of the day, both types of people are just poor, period...don't go into hair-splitting analysis...
Your poor may look different, while some of ours do too (like Chakmas) or don't. Either way - we in Bangladesh don't give two $hits, people are people. Racism is the work of the devil. Shaitan was the first racist.
Poverty doesn't differentiate whether you have a long or flat nose, skin tone, or whether your eyes are round or not. It's just poverty. We are all Allah's subjects, we deserve better.
Poverty is inhuman and there is no dignity in it, period. Neither does racism.
OK. My bad for not addressing this earlier when it was reported to the moderators. The use of racial terms like Negroid, Caucasoid, Mongoloid etc OUTSIDE of a scientific, technical discussion on race, racial attributes etc will not be tolerated since it has little utility besides being used as a racial slur.
Please report if it occurs again.
Brother please delete my post if it even hints at any racist suggestion.
