Why Bangladesh sucks and will suck for a long time. My perspective

[kobiraaz]

@Mohammed Khaled Do not enroll in Russia or China. I don't know about Ukraine but should be close to Russia..Better Check Where you want to settle in your life and if that country is comfortable with Ukrainian certificate. Medical study in sub continent is generally considered better than China and Russia.

And who cursed Pakistan? a country with a 24 year head start on Bangladesh and yet behind Bangladesh in almost every metric used to measure prosperity and progress by international agencies.

I'll give you, you've got that Army you lot seem to have a permanent hard on over and of course the Nukes. But, aside from that, the 24 year head start and direct intervention of Allah (SWT) doesn't seem to have really helped Pakistan that much.

All things considered - I'm not exactly dying to gain a Pakistani passport...but, whatever floats your boat buddy :thumbsup:

Economy

Pakistan = Over $ 300 billion by now
Bangladesh = $ 225 billion

GDP per capita PPP

Pakistan = $5000
Bangladesh = $ 3600

Poverty (world bank)

Pakistan = 8 %
Bangladesh = 30 %

Happiness Report

PK = 92
BD = somewhere in 120's

Quality of Life

( Karachi , Lahore and Islamabad all rank higher than Dhaka in mercers quality of life)

Education

PK = 10 Universities in top 250 ranking and 6 in the world
BD = 0 in asia and the world

Infrastructure

PK build highways in 90s and bangladesh is building them now .

Worldwide relevance

Pakistan = Regional power
Bangladesh = Nobody

You want me to carry on?

I know the thing you faced in the airport....Once I went to BD flying Kuwait Airlines....so naturally a lot of my co-passengers were BD expats from Kuwait....once we landed almost all of their bags were checked...they came to check mine saw that I was from the US smiled asked me which state I lived in(I used to live in Georgia)...he had never heard of it....asked me if there were a lot of Bengalis there...chatted for a while helped me find a cart and showed me the way to the parking lot....Murica...fuq ya!

Their excuse... I was carrying lots of food which I have to pay tax on... I mean like seriously? Check the customs tax list... I don't see it mentions chocolates and tuna cans. And even after being cleared... harassed by people there. Not tolerable

did you declared that food list and quantity ?
if not, then it was illegal part from your side and paid fine. it was not their fault that you don't know.
it is the system in many countries such as Australia

 

[Khan_21]

Why are you dragging India or Indians in your mess , you responded and he responded you ...anyways I respect Bengalis and they have better perception in whole world as compare to country who harboured Osama bin laden and No one gives damm about nukes its a 1945 technology nothing great if a country have nukes ...and if nukes get respect then citizen of your country should get visa free entries in the countries highlighted by you ( China , USA, Russia )

More countries allows Bangladeshis Visa free entries or Visa on arrival then Pakistanis this one measure which you can use to check how other countries see you

http://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2015/aug/14/42-countries-bangladeshis-can-travel-without-visa

We are against illegal immigration .... not Bangladeshis

and on topic buddy in south asia you have burn your *** to achieve something .... if you try to find you can find many examples in Bengladesh when a rickshaw puller become engineer or doctor on sheer determination and without coaching classes ...... so better learn work hard then to blame country

More people allow visa free travel to Indians than even Chinese and you are 30 years behind them . Nicaragua with a GDP PPP per capita less than PK has 110 countries on arrival. A country like Namibia has visa on arrival for UK but Turkey and Russia don't.

Passport and on arrival depends upon you relations with countries and if you reciprocate the same .

You had a headstart from 1947. We started from 0 in 1971 and all our infrastructure was destroyed in the war. Eveything was intact in Pakistan.

We have come a long way and if everything goes right we will soon overtake you financially. Meanwhile You may check HDI of both the nations too.

Bangladesh is just impossible. There are very few people like me and all are not willing to change this country for the better. I used to believe in that but now I have become them.

Ever heard of Sir Abed? The guy came to BD when it was much worse off compared to what you see now and worked to make it better.

I blame people and govt. and lack of opportunities so yeah I would naturally select somewhere I would get a opportunity and a better future for my family

Your posts start with 'me and I', end with 'me and I' and everything in between is 'me and I'! Somewhat egocentric, aren't you? :p

Well the thread speak about my perspective doesn't it? Anyways come from Canada to go through what I did and you'll understand why I am not a fan of it.

You said Pakistan was blessed by Allah yet you live in UK. Why?

Lmao

 

[Khan_21]

Like pakistan was doing any better

PK is not in LDC list like BD is . Just got promoted to MCSI emerging markets and its Stock exchange is currently the best in asia and 5th in the world . That is just me scratching the surface . Maybe you should worry about your poverty which is more than twice the population of Pakistan .

 

[Russell]

You want me to carry on?

Yup, carry on.

Because as I said - ask your average rickshaw puller in Dhaka and he still wouldn't want to go back to being a part of Pakistan.

Dhaka is never going to be like Karachi, Pindi or any other major Pakistani city...in fact even in 50 years time, Dhaka will continue to be one of the worst cities in the world.

Population density of Bangladesh - 1252 per Km2
Population density of Pakistan - 250 per Km2

That in it self renders the conversation moot.

The fact remains we continue to grow faster than you, our foreign exchange reserves are larger and we export more. Oh and despite the recent uptick in violence, Bangladesh is a much safer country to live in. We don't have US drones bombing people at random.

 

[Michael Corleone]

Yes,he moved from Kuwait(a highly developed country) to BD(developing) but expected benefit and comforts of a highly developed country.Perhaps Bangladesh is better of without these type of deluded people.We have many shortcoming but what is the point of showing rage in this forum? There are many Bangladeshi expat who came back to make it little better than the time they left.I have tremendous respect for them.

Don't make your assumptions just like him. And Kuwait isn't a developed country but a developing one. It's just rich because of its oil Read post #9

 

[Crixus]

You are right but buddy you are young .. I have just a single question what you have done during the time you spend in Bangladesh to improve the situation ...did you contributed a bit you are young have apositive attitude it will really help you ....

Do first before expect anything

I blame people and govt. and lack of opportunities so yeah I would naturally select somewhere I would get a opportunity and a better future for my family

[Michael Corleone]

Joke is on you as you tried to take coaching from first year medical students which you weren't supposed to do. If your school in Middle east was so great you would have passed the easy medical admission test without any side coaching.

Well, parents and their mumbling... and we were assured teachers not students. There was 3-4 others with the same situation.

HDI is not the end all be all . I can quote Happiness report , Mercer quality of life , Numbeo and so on . One look at Islamabad and Dhaka will tell you the difference . Islamabad is a highly developed city even by european standards . Same can be said for Lahore which is miles better than any city in BD by quality of life .

As for Economy PK is almost touching $ 1 trillion now and BD is $ 600 billion . For Nominal its above 300 billion for PK and 220 for BD . Do the maths .

 

[Michael Corleone]

A nation that is highly developed not because of education or hard work...but because it won the 'black gold' lottery and doubled up the winnings due to a tiny, tiny population. Of course let's also ignore for decades this 'highly developed' country developed by paying to get doctors, engineers from places like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh (maybe even people like his parents...along with of course a huge amount of unskilled labor)....all the while the local population was slowly educated and brought up to speed.

Whereas BD has it all to do - a land fit to support 75mil, trying to support 175mil, poverty, natural calamities and the annoying drawbacks of democracy, instead of a monarchy with 'pseudo democracy'.

But, hey...let's keep comparing apples and oranges.

Kuwaitis and educations? Only recently they are getting educated and doing better in fields they are still completely dependent on oil.

IS THERE ANY COMMON BANGLADESHI TO ANSWER HIM Except Razakars , Biharis and Jamatis?????

And what about those Biharis is Bangladesh who still call them Pakistani but were not accepted by Pakistan since 1971 ??

I will answer him at the end after replying to everyone else
