Dude, if you bothered to pay attention then you would see that I actually have some respect for Indian foreign policy. India has shown strong independence over Ukraine for sure and that is shielding BD to some extent in also resisting US pressure
The main point of this thread is why IMF has for the last 20 years underestimated BD growth rate. For 20 years they get it wrong but still do not upgrade their growth projections.
The only reason I put in India as comparison is that they overestimate India by the same amount but still show both BD and India neck and neck for next 5 years. Maybe it is nothing to do with a lot of Indian economists who help compile these reports but it is an angle I am putting out there in the absence of any other obvious reason that can be seen.
Don't jump up and down over a thread that was never meant as any sort of attack on India. Have some more confidence in your country.
Let's not mince any words and call a spade a spade.

On the other hand, in spite of the US sanctioning Bangladesh’s elite paramilitary Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), BD did not blink and asked the US to take a hike and confirmed that BD will not buy any arms from the US.
True brother, I am sure if next US puts a ban on BD's textiles, BD will again ask them to take a hike.
Never ever on the face of this world will BD ever bend over backwards like India!
China is the new superpower of the world.
BD and China have a strong alliance.
