Before anyone accuses of derailing, have a look at the previous posts. Must be because they consume half of what average Indian does....not enough brain nourishment.

This is not a pissing contest - all countries in South Asia participate in a hallmark of shame....:disagree:

Wiki is quoting (latest available) FAO figures....

List of countries by food energy intake
Country .... Kilocalories (Daily dietary energy consumption per capita (2006-08))

India ...........2,360
Pakistan .....2,280
Bangladesh 2,270

Meanwhile, per UNDP Human Development Report stats as of 2015

For India.....

And this - after Bangladesh spends roughly half of what India spends on health and nutrition sectors. Seems its better to be a female in Bangladesh than in India. :laugh:

I think Bangladesh cannot really be called a backward, poverty stricken hellhole after all.....:)

I have already participated in enough development debates with you and others. End of the day look at the overall HDI rankings....Bangladesh is a full 12 places behind India and the difference in score has stayed roughly the same:

http://hdr.undp.org/en/composite/trends

According to that Bangladesh is roughly 6 years or so behind India in overall HDI development.

The response I gave was to the members posting feces and India comments....like nothing of that nature goes on in Bangladesh (on the back of sanitation access which is clearly not the same as use - this clause does not apply only to India). Hence the 2nd video especially.

You are right that all countries are roughly equally bad and have a long way to go....but India is definitely ahead in overall development (thats what HDI measures) today compared to all its South Asian land neighbours...that includes Bangladesh.

I wish all countries in the region solve their human development problems....but unnecessarily mocking one country's problems when yours is little better in that regard (with video proof) and worse overall in development smacks of indecency and throwing stones at others from a glass house. It will be responded to by me till such behaviour ends from the culprits.

BTW, by half the consumption per person (on average) i was referring to PPP per person. It does not concern only food....a brain is nourished in more ways than one.
 
All other countries are threat to one country either in small way or big way. However, some idiot countries are unable to identify the real threat.
 
Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and maybe Afghanistan also, they all will remain threats until India is converted to Akhand Bharat.

Actually that Akhand Bharat mentality is threat.

Islamic republic of Pakistan is past redemption. The threat level is the same. No scope for increase in threat.

While Bangladesh and Pakistan have one thing in common Islam, so we have to be wary of any Muslim aggregation in our lands.

The threat perception is very much real. After 1971, it was all ok till recent violence against. Hindus in Bangladesh started.

So we have to get back to this war zone:

1) Our darling maid Hasina is proving useless in keeping the Indian interests.

2) Bangladesh is sucking upto outside Subcontinetal powers and it's a threat to peace in South Asia. Let's nip the bud before it grows.
 
Bangladesh is not a threat to India. Neither is Pakistan. The ideology that is common to rabid islamists on both sides is the threat. Bullets alone can never be the answer. De islamization can be one solution, like the British did in the Naga territories.

India is dropping a lot more quicker in hunger index than Bangladesh if you look at the full data log (India reduced GHI by about 1 point per year between 2005 and 2015, Bangladesh reduced it by about 0.4 points per year - which means we will be better than them in GHI in about 3 years time if the trends continue as they are).

Also interesting you picked just one metric, why not look at a total composite one like HDI?

Also scroll up higher to see where your all weather friend is :P

Global peace index 2016 shows the figure that BD is more peaceful in South Asia after Bhutan and Nepal.
Out of 163, rank of these countries Bhutan 13, Nepal 78, Bangladesh 83, Sri Lanka 97, MM (not in SA) 115, India 141
http://www.visionofhumanity.org/


I think these guys are not happy with the fact that BD is more peaceful in the region and also one of the happy country in the world with a rank of #11 in happy planet index while they achieved worst ranking in global peace index and worst ranking (#32) than BD in happy planet index, that is why they are making all shots here on BD, while deep inside they know its not the truth. But they do this to show their inferiority complex and keep on running their propaganda machines.

Lemme answer the OP. Conversely it is India which has been the biggest threat to both BD nd Pakistan. Therein lies an everlasting factor that will always bring both BD and Pakistan into one orbit.
 
BD-India relationshp is only superficially good, but under the cover of this the GoB is procuring billions of dollars worth of military hard wares. Ships. planes. anti-aircraft system, tanks and many others.

I wonder which country is using whom? India using BD territory to transit its goods, but BD is also using this peace to acquire military goods from every corner of the western world worth naming.
every country need to invest in defense.. I see nothing wrong in bd buying hardware... also BD will have to go bankrupt to match India's conventional force...

India has nothing to fear from BD defence spending.

It is solely for self-defence and BD has no designs on Indian territory.

Do you think it would be possible to make BD armed forces stronger with so many purchases without first making a fake peace with India?

may be, may be not... either way bd is too far away from being a credible threat.. to India and even myanmar to some extent.

is not that pretty obvious? I am not sure why people open thread like this.. the only way bd can be a danger to India is by allowing chinese/americans to have defense installation in their territory..

Dr, Kissinger of USA once told very famously something like this, `America has no friend, it has its interest only.` On the day before yesterday it was Pakistan, yesterday it was China and today it is India. US and India together are trying to stop China from building up their influence and base in Burma as well as BD. Japan is also a full member of this anti-China bashing.

It is the USA who is pushing India to hinder a Chinese presence in BD and India is only following US instruction. GoB changed its mind about giving the deep sea construction job near Cox`s Bazaar.

China is not getting the job, however, irrespective of such a decision by the GoB, China will remain our friend in need. It is China who supplies us billions of dollar worth of military weapons. Our military has very special relationship with Chinese military establishment.

This BD-China relationship is a source of irritation to India because a chinese presence in BD is a security threat to India itself. USA and Japan are taking advantage of this irritation and instigating India to exert pressure on BD,
