Tripura wants its teas to be auctioned again in Bangladesh, stopped since 1965 war with Pakistan

[UKBengali]

His father the late King and indeed all the previous kings are seen in a very good light, we have various places named after the Manikya kings and queens. The current king though just because of his entry in Tipraland politics is seen either in negative or neutral light by bengalis. He doesn't have any legal/constitutional powers being King apart from the powers of being in the political space.

How much resentment is there in Tripura against its close economic ties to BD?

BD has nothing but well wishes for the people of Tripura.

BD has nothing but well wishes for the people of Tripura.

People want better economic /cultural ties with Bangladesh, especially the majority bengali population for obvious reasons. Tiprasa people also want better economic ties but are critical about illegal immigration. The international Airport, railway, road connectivity all are for legal connections and trade but many still are critical. We can hope as this brings in better trade and our economy starts to rise with a rising Bangladesh even Tiprasa people will soon change their mind.

Manipur has one of the if not the lowest gdp, gdp per capita, growth rate, you name it out of all north eastern states. Tripura on the other hand is most of times within top 3(usually 2nd)in all of these metrics so don't really know where you are getting this so called superior infrastructure in Manipur. Can you give examples to prove your claim that infrastructure is so much better?

The gdp there is too small to matter in those state driven consumption based economies.The gdp here is easily fudged,like taiwan looks like Vietnam in reality compared to Chinese cities but has per capita gdp many times of china . Tripura is one of the most populated state in NE with population with open trade borders,,GDP don't give true picture of a state which has blocked railways construction in consternation of immigrants .
.
At ground lvl things aren't the same; Tripura operates on zomato,big bazar,uber,kfc and everything foreign .
Manipur operates on indigenous Foodwifi,leima,lamjengba cab, dwellers ; sure there's foreign investment but those investments are also different ,like investment from Korean, Japanese,thai brands,the region is deeply rooted to far east while Tripura like like BD border town.
These two are class apart Manipur has an all encompassing manufacturing base that sources everything locally except for electronics and gadgets,it's like a mini country compared to Tripura.


Also in the past,I mentioned how geography matters,Manipur is 93% hills and and only 7% is plain and aerable.All the commercial activities happens here.Imphal valley is surrounded 7 mountains from all side.

100 % of meiteis(only 47% of population) reside there in Imphal valley ,the rest of 93% of the state are hills and inhibited by other indigenous tribes.
This creates an unique issue ,and fudges the stats ,no transparency of hill states controlled by Naga Union with their own agenda,and also in border areas teeming with immigrants from bd,assam,Myanmar,nagaland etc.
Manipur does have superior infrastructure, than Tripura ,much deeper network of roads ,water and gas pipeline,but due to its elevated location and geography it's never enough,it still needs massive central aid,since the high terrains and geography hampers trade with the population in hilly areas.

Meanwhile Aizwal is proper and pristine like anything..

Can you give examples to prove your claim that infrastructure is so much better?

Shillong is a huge tourist magnet,Shilling in 2007 was what Agartala tries to emulate in 2020.I advice you to go there

Here's just a single lane of road in imphal,there's a flyover and on the other side there's the opposite lane,the roads are also paved with different materials(rocks slabs) in many parts compared to plain concrete mix seen in tripiura.

Now compare it to the road at the centre of agartala city road.

Though Tripura improved greatly in past decade but fall short of the network of roads,gas pipeline,internet connectivity,water pipeline( most people buy or drink tap water in tripura).
Outside Agartala still looks too dingy, unsafe,
Look at the clip shot at outskrits of Imphal below? I can't imagine a public cafe like this in outskirts of Agartala with the "quality" of immigrant civilians it has and how unruly it can get there.

Lol I cracked up when you did you visit Agartala mate, 1980? A simple Google search would have landed you a big estimate on how many cafes we have here. I think you mistook a puri sabji dhaba with a cafe are now spreading bs. About shopping malls, what do you mean exactly? If you mean the ones where you have various large stores along with movie theatres and the like yes we have one, or maybe two if you count city center which also has movie theatre and multiple shops, hey there is Aitorma too really as it's big enough to that standard, more maybe I don't recall. But if you mean just large marts then we have multiple, reliance trends, vishal mega mart, bazaar Kolkata and so on and other similar to them in size especially govt sponsored super markets. I really doubt on which metric you are claiming your shopping malls based on your gdp but well if you say so, wouldn't be surprised if they are just super marts. Not to mention we have multiple hotels now which fall in the 3-4 star bracket. And this is just Agartala places like Udaipur, Dharmanagar, Belonia are quickly catching up.
Again just do a quick Google search or a search in YouTube will do you good instead of staying with your own biases.

I visited not too long ago,though I the development in past 5 years,but Tripura is now what shillong was like 10 years ago.
I was just trying to enlighten the ignoramus BD guy through some pointers,

I think you mistook a puri sabji dhaba with a cafe are now spreading bs.

There was not a single cafe some years ago now,that's tragical for young folks of a capital city, there are like 2 "cafe-like" cafe in Agartala now,and I've been there.

Spoiler: agartala

^This was the better one and it's actually operated by mainland investor ,not even local. The rest hardly qualify.
Now compare to the dozens of unique and indigenous ones like this in Imphal which is like Cafe city -->

Spoiler: imphal

BTW,your Kolkata bazzar already closed.The vishal of Imphal is massive compared to the one in Agartala,where the option for choice was seriously low.Also Tripura got those not too long ago,Imphal had that all almost a decade ago,now people are focused on more artistic quaint small indigenous stops.Many stores operated by korean ,thai immigrants.Another difference is, in Imphal there's many family mart near many major localities,like anywhere in East ,meanwhile, you have to go to a far bazaar or local street shop to manually demand and buy stuff in person in Agartala,very inconvenient during covid.

I was just trying to enlighten the ignoramus bd guy,the royal palace is the only thing I find aesthetic in the city.

I do not know whether this will be feasible as Tripura is a state of India but I want an EU style system to come about between BD and Tripura as soon as feasible, mainly for the benefit of the people of Tripura.

A hopefully fast growing BD should allow tremendous economic, study and leisure opportunities for the small Indian state over the next decades.

Like you say, maybe one day even the Tripasa will have a mainly positive opinion on the relationship with BD.

See I get you trying to argue with someone about something but one is arguing and other is calling people backward, eyesore, leading in rape and what not, that demanded a response. About your current response on flyovers with side roads, we have them too.

Roads are also very good now and improving at a rapid pace. Just search for roads from Agartala to Udaipur and you'll get an idea of how even roads outside Agartala are improving.
Yes I agree the development might have started late compared to some states but doesn't mean it's not there.
About cafes seriously mate just do a Google search on the list of cafes, frespresso is just one, there are multiple cafe coffee days, breakbakes cafe, high tree, roasted beans cafe, coffee tea and me and what not new coming up all the time, believe me just do a Google search.

We have multiple "dhaba styled" cafes on highways really they are just proper cafes with a dhaba like aesthetic.
Talking about marts bazaar kolkata is not closed it's operational. About vishal it is massive not double room type believe me and it has no other shop in the building, so are the metro bazaar, reliance trends etc. Again I would really advice you to do Google search.

We have many supermarket type stores where people can get variety of goods. Really I would advice you to visit again just to get rid of the biases that you hold on to. Tripura is growing and many locals have the business mind to open their own cafes and restruants believe me.
About foreign investment if any such brings development for the people we are all for it. Bangladeshe company Pran has opened a big plant to make made in Tripura food products, we all appreciate it.

Govt of India is really looking at Tripura to be a gateway to better trade and opportunities for India's North East as a whole. Tripura was chosen because of the proximity and strong cultural and people connections existing already with Bangladesh, with proper infrastructure it will really be a hub of trade in the coming years and government realises that and is investing accordingly.
We have Bangladesh assistant high commission in Tripura

Bangladesh people I believe have a positive view of Tripura. I believe the strong connection was enforced by how we selflessly helped Bangladesh during it's independence struggle.

@Leishangthem Stop posting like a sub-human brain. Cherry-picking doesn't count, Tripura is clearly far more developed than poor states like Manipur with its primitive inhabitants, the GDP per capita of Tripura itself is 1.5 times of that of Manipur which doesn't even have much of a population and have a much larger area than Tripura. Saying otherwise would only be making a fool out of oneself.

Among the Northeast states, only Tripura has bright potential with its close proximity to the sea-port of Chittagong, its intellectual and progressive population and also some natural resources. The rest of the Northeast are too primitive to think about economic development.

The other states do have potential in tourism, as if they can get the infrastructure and hospitality set up properly, then they would have a ready market of millions of people from BD and India that would visit every year.

Small population and billions of dollars of tourism revenue every year would greatly help their economies.

Yeah, but it will take time to change their primitive attitude and get rid of their tribal isolation. Andaman and Nicober islands, for example, still remain isolated despite decades of efforts by India.

Dude I was talking about the all encompassing network,reach ,maintenance and scale,the whole state has a link with highway,extending up to bangkok.The quality of network of the road into hills is rare in Tripura
I'm well travelled , that location u tagged is near something called "battala",the road is cramped half of the single lane I posted, the rest are congested with bad traffic planning.You can't seriously compare that to the massive international road network of Manipur reaching all the way to Bangkok,the size ,scale and quality almost unseen in other parts, the high way of Manipur,like 4 highways of tripura combined in size alone. Hence I said what I said.

In Aizwal there's also narrow roads,but it's better planned ,most of which one way ,and for two wheeler,looks very aesthetic in hill like settings.
BTW,the cafe u linked is actually a restaurant,I've been there, and in person , looks like my usual roof with some plants and light attached.at the celeing . Agartala is a small place ,I've been to every nook and corner on my friend's two wheeler there.There's nothing of significance that I haven't seen over there.

All our road networks are improving believe me, in most places you will see some of the other development going on. Yes battala was very cramed but the fly over I mentioned goes over that area so it's much better now.
International airport with brand new terminal is being made because we are the second busiest in the north east, so are Train and Road connectivity. Port access is much closer to us via Chittagong than via Myanmar for other NE states. That is the reason we are investing in connectivity infrastructure.
About the cafe firstly that's just one and is literally named a cafe, you were claiming there's just two I gave many examples. Cafe nowdays doesn't mean you serve just coffee. If you want restruants in big properties for lunch, dinner we have a lot of them here too, again just search. My state is a growing state, what's not there now just wait a few years and see. Not to mention the gdp, gdp per capita, growth rate arguement where we usually lead.
Believe me I really didn't want to partake in this d*ck measuring contest with Manipur or any other NE state for the matter as I want only peace and development, but calling us slum dweller, rapist, eyesore and what not doesn't really leave much on a person to just sit by.

Developed in what department? really lol?
Be specific?

There's no a single beggar or anything in manipur,unlike Tripura teeming with beggars?
What do you mean by economy ?
What does Tripura make?
Manipur manufactures a lot more.
In which sphere does your Tripura excels?
Exams? sports? Entrepreneurship?
In which sphere is your Tripura ahead? be specific before pulling fudged figures while ignoring the fact that our people just makes 47% of the population and we have supported massive immigrant civilians on state funds.
Sikkim has 2nd highest per capita income,mizoram has higher gdp per capita than BD ,Meghalaya is also developing rapidly compared under conrad sangma,Mizoram has much higher growth rate than Tripura. Nagaland is on self lockdown with historical qualms.



You think these illegal cockroaches are "progressive and intellectual" ?you understand the concept of physiognomy? ?

Meanhile the tiny state like Manipur produces Olympic champions(something which your 300 million sized nation never managed), Generals,and constantly send minimum 3-4 UPSC rankers for the nation,despite all the internal political problems,while last year, the only upsc ranker from Tripura was from an indigenous tribe? so far your intellectual and progressive population is only excelling in raping ,thieving and spreading slums and disorder.


You think we need those illegal cockroaches while we already even lead all states in this 1.4b nation at National Games, when we aren't trying much ?

I

 

[Species]

you understand the concept of physiognomy?

Yep, I do and based on that Manipuris and other Northeast tribals wouldn't qualify as homo sapiens sapiens but physiognomy and phrenology are considered pseudoscience and I wouldn't want to delve into that.

we already also lead all states in this 1.4b nation at National Games even when we aren't trying much ?

That's a great a achievement but you are good at sports because you are too backward for intellectual professions and are more interested in sports. In the US for example, sports have always been dominated by the blacks.

 

[StraightEdge]

Interesting debate - never thought I will see so many people debating about north-east in a Pakistan forum. I am not going to debate on which state is better. Spent time in Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh (unfortunately missed out on other states so far). Every state has it's strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately all states missed out on major development, GOI across years have neglected the region. Our neighbours across the border (Tibet) has surpassed every sister states in development. I think we need to compete against them, and use them as yard stick.

And I guess your l Q doesn't help you to construe the basic concept that ,your masses can't be an incompetent moron but excel in sports as evident in some of your fav state and nations.
You need high ethic ,mental aptitude,virtue to excel in sports too.
Be in educational front or sports, ratio wise no other state comes close to that tiny state,and we aren't even whole heartedly trying.So,what's your next excuse ?
