Malthusian constraints will limit the populations though, I think India will be in crisis herself and will be facing internal migrations, likewise Myanmar to a degree.

I see that Indian trolls are at it again, predicting gloom and doom for Bangladesh. Nosey little pr*cks. Like we'd get scared by a little water. In Bangladesh kids of the poorest families literally swim from age three or earlier.
They basically float on water, fish in the water, even have ways to grow vegetable over water with no soil. We have already started production of saline water resistant rice. Fish, water and rice - that's all you need.
We had a flood control plan and dike program/planning since 1975 (with the Dutch as consultants) and are far better equipped than lazy Sanghis who can only offer Hot Air for a solution. Keep flapping your ugly lips Sanghis, because talk is cheap.
By the way - read up about India itself. Four Indian cities - Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai and Surat - are among the 45 global port cities where even a 50cm-increase in sea levels will lead to major flooding. Good luck carrying out any business activity under threat of flooding. The report says "extreme sea-level events that occurred once in a century in the past will be experienced by these cities every year by 2050".

Rising Sea Levels Could Flood 4 Major Indian Cities; Islands to Become Uninhabitable

According to the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Changing Climate (SROCC), prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and released on Wednesday, September 25, sea levels could rise by a metre by the year 2100.
Even if human beings do succeed in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and limiting global warming to below 2°C, sea levels would still rise by 30-60cm globally. However, if the greenhouse gas GHG emissions continues at the current disastrous rate, the rise in the oceanic levels will shoot up to 60-110cm.
So whether we succeed in stemming emissions or not, there would be a steep rise in global sea levels that could have disastrous consequences for the global population.
The report suggests that, around the world, rising sea levels and melting ice will affect the lives of 670 million people living in mountainous regions, 680 million living in low-lying coastal areas, 65 million who live on small islands, and four million who inhabit the Arctic regions. Coastal cities, especially megacities with over 10 million inhabitants, will be at serious risk from climate-related ocean and cryosphere changes.
Four Indian cities -- Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai and Surat -- are among the 45 global port cities where even a 50cm-increase in sea levels will lead to major flooding. In fact, the extreme sea-level events that occurred once in a century in the past will be experienced by these cities every year by 2050.
Rising sea levels will also make a lot of islands completely uninhabitable. According to Anjal Prakash, the coordinating lead author of the IPCC report, islands like Andaman & Nicobar and the Maldives will have to be evacuated completely, as increased water levels will cause tremendous flooding and extreme climatic events like cyclones.

Bangladesh’s disappearing river lands
‘If the river starts eroding again, this area will be wiped off’
SHARIATPUR, Bangladesh
Every year in Bangladesh, thousands of hectares of land crumble into the rivers that wind through this South Asian nation, swallowing homes and pushing families away from their rural villages.
This land erosion peaks during the June-to-October monsoon season, which brings torrential rains and swells the country’s rivers. This year, erosion destroyed the homes of at least 8,000 people in Bangladesh’s northern districts during heavy July floods that swept through the region and displaced at least 300,000 people across the country. Hundreds more households have been stranded in recent days.
Rita Begum understands the dangers. Last year, she was one of some 44,000 people in Shariatpur, an impoverished district south of the capital, Dhaka, who lost their homes in what people here say was the worst erosion in seven years. Over four months, the Padma River gobbled up two square kilometres of silt land in Naria, a sub-district.
Rita, a 51-year-old widow, saw her home and garden destroyed. Now, she lives on rented land in a makeshift shed pieced together with iron sheeting from the remnants of her old house.
“I have no soil beneath my feet,” she said. “My relatives' homes are now under water too.”
Erosion has long been a part of life in Bangladesh, which sits on a massive river delta. The Padma’s rushing waters constantly shift and transform the shape of the river, eating away at its sandy banks. Deforestation, weather extremes, strong currents, and the accumulation of silt all contribute to erosion. But researchers say a warming climate is accelerating today’s risks by intensifying rains and floods – sinking communities deeper into poverty.
NASA
The UN says Bangladesh is one of the world’s most vulnerable to climate change – and one of the least prepared for the rising sea levels, weather extremes, and food security threats that could follow.
And the World Bank estimates there could be 13 million climate migrants here halfway through this century.
Bangladesh already faces frequent disasters, yet the yearly crises ignited by erosion see little of the spotlight compared to monsoon floods, landslides, and cyclones.
“Even our policymakers don’t care about it, let alone the international community,” said Abu Syed, a scientist and a contributing author of a report by the UN body assessing climate research.
But erosion is quietly and permanently altering Bangladesh’s landscape. From 1973 through 2017, Bangladesh’s three major rivers – the Padma, the Meghna, and the Jamuna – have engulfed more than 160,000 hectares of land, according to statistics provided by the UN. That’s roughly five times the land mass of the country’s capital.
And the Centre for Environmental and Geographic Information Services, a government think-tank, forecasts that erosion could eat up another 4,500 hectares by the end of 2020, potentially displacing another 45,000 people.
Experts who study Bangladesh’s rivers say the government response to erosion, while improving, has largely been ad hoc and temporary – sandbags thrown against already crumbling land, for example, rather than forward-looking planning to better adapt to the waterways.
And many who have already lost their homes to erosion, like Rita, have struggled to rebuild their lives without land, or have been forced to join the 300,000 to 400,000 people each year estimated to migrate to teeming Dhaka driven in part by environmental pressures.

Since losing her land, Rita Begum has lived in a shed made from tarpaulin and pieces of her old home.
Disaster deepens poverty, fuels migration
Today Rita shares her shed with her three sons; she’s just scraping by, earning the equivalent of less than $4 a month as a maid. There is no running water or sanitation: Rita treks down a steep slope to fetch water from the same river that devoured her home.
In nearby Kedarpur village, Aklima Begum, 57, lost not only her home, but her rickshaw-puller husband, who died when a chunk of earth crumpled from beneath a riverside market last August. The sudden collapse washed away 29 people, though some were later rescued.
“We didn’t find his body,” Aklima said.
Shafiqul Alam/TNH
Aklima Begum, 57, reads a copy of her national ID card on the riverbank in Kedarpur village. Erosion wiped away her home and many of her possessions.
Last year’s disaster has had a lasting impact on both rich and poor here. Year Baksh Laskar, a local businessman, saw most of his house vanish into the river, but he invited 70 neighbouring families to set up makeshift homes on his remaining land.
“They are helpless,” he said. “Where will these people go?”
With homes and farmland disappeared, many in the area have left for good, according to Hafez Mohammad Sanaullah, a local government representative.
“This erosion is severe. People got scattered,” he said.
Humanitarian aid helped to prevent hunger in the disaster’s aftermath last year, but emergency support doesn’t fix longer-term problems faced by a landless community. Sanaullah singled out housing and jobs as the two biggest problems: “People who used to do farming can't do it any longer,” he said.
Babur Ali, the municipality’s mayor, estimated at least 10 percent of the people displaced by last year’s erosion have moved to Dhaka or other urban areas in Bangladesh.
The government’s Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, which oversees response and recovery programmes, is building three projects in the area to house some 5,000 erosion survivors, an official told The New Humanitarian.
The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society said it has asked district officials for land to set up a “cluster village” – barrack-like housing where people share common facilities. But the land has not yet been granted, said Nazmul Azam Khan, the organisation’s director.
Preparing for future threats
The Bangladesh Water Development Board – the government agency that oversees the management of rivers – in December started a $130-million project intended to shield a nine-kilometre stretch of Naria from further erosion.
This includes the dredging of waterways to remove excess sediment – which can divert a river’s flow and contribute to erosion – and installing sandbags and concrete blocks to buttress the steep riverbanks.
There are also plans to erect structures in the river that would redirect water away from the fragile banks, said project head Prakash Krishna Sarker.

But these changes are part of a three-year project; the bulk of the work wasn’t ready in time for this year’s monsoon season in Naria, and it won’t be finished by next year’s either.
“People are concerned. If the river starts eroding again, this area will be wiped off,” said Sanaullah.

Bangladesh’s government last year approved a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure plan to better manage the country’s rivers, including tackling erosion. AKM Enamul Hoque Shameem, the deputy minister for water resources, said the plans include dredging, river training, and bank protection. He told The New Humanitarian that erosion-vulnerable areas like Shariatpur are a “top priority”.
Climate pressures
But this work would be carried out over decades – the current deadline is the year 2100.
By then, researchers say, the impacts of climate change will be in full force. A 2013 study published in the International Journal of Sciences forecasts that the amount of land lost annually due to erosion along Bangladesh’s three main rivers could jump by 18 percent by the end of the century.
Shafiqul Alam/TNH
Erosion along the Padma river severely damaged this 50-bed health complex in Naria.
As with floods, drought, storms, and other disasters that strike each year, erosion is already pushing displaced Bangladeshis to migrate.
Rabeya Begum, 55, was a resident of Naria until last August. After her home washed away, she packed up and fled to a Dhaka slum – the destination for most migrants pushed out by disasters or other environmental pressures.
“I don’t feel good staying at my son-in-law’s house,” said Rabeya, who lost her husband to a stroke months after the erosion uprooted her.
Life without her own land, she said, is like being “afloat in the water”.

You can't control salinity that way which will lead to land infertility and thus making land inhabitable.

Hydroponic farming. The Ganges and Brahmaputra are enough for providing fresh water.
Though if I'm being honest, I would like to see the reactions of the butthurt Bangladeshi nationalists when their land starts going underwater. Asian Tiger Bangabhoomi say what lololol?

sometimes i feel that more then half of the Bangladeshis would have already settled in West Pakistani cities had Bangaldesh not been created.
