Reliance Power bags $1.3 billion LNG-based project in energy-starved Bangladesh

LOL - When will we see the end of mass starvation in India then? India has been independent for nearly 70 years and still people die of starvation.

The only S Asian country that BD really thinks is a match for it is Sri Lanka.

There is barely any starvation in India. There is malnutrition (different from starvation) but it is reducing. Just look at the world hunger index for the data.

When will we see the end of mass poverty (40%+) in Bangladesh? Do you need some western rock bands to raise more money for you guys?

Ohh thats what bothering you all along. You should had said it before.

Still waiting on videos of your shooper dooper local appliances (and everything except cars and aeroplanes) being used by Bangladeshi folk. Or are they of embarrassingly low quality?

So guess its just sweatshop RMG I take it?

Poverty link for BD please.

And 44% in 2010 is probably lower than the true figure given that the old definition was used for Bangladesh (under 1.25 PPP rather than 1.90 PPP due to " the large deviations in the rate of change in PPP factors relative to the rate of change in domestic consumer price indexes")

Who gives a rat's about some stupid poverty definition which means nothing in practice. Another org will come up with a different number.

What counts is real indicators like malnutrition and life expectancy. In these two important indicators, BD is ahead of India

The RMG rated growth has perverted Bangladeshi's minds like a drug addicts. They only live in utopian world wehre facts don't matter only supposedly billions of infrastructure which are in blue prints made on aid money and an inability to fund them will be completed a decade down and some predictions where 10 Indian states of East India and NE India are growing backwards for next 10 years makes these idiots feel that Bangladesh will be the boss of its area.

I bet you cannot progress to the next level of industrialization. No building blocks exists. No Railways, No Ports, No Steel, No Cement, No Mining industry, No Highways, No Airports, etc. The basic foundation industries are missing and no vision or inability to create them while some quota driven production makes you think you are hyper power.

What is life expectancy on which you are jumping? How many years a Bangladeshi will live if he was born today? 2 years more than an Indian? It matters Jacksh!t.

The point is Bangladesh will never industrialize as the basic building blocks don't exist. I bet more on Ghana and Ethiopia.

4 billion dollar Padma Bridge is funded entirely by BD money.
4 billion dollar railway link from Dhaka to South West is being 1/3rd funded by BD internal resources.

Many other huge infrastructure projects being funded by Russia/Japan like Roopur nuclear plant and Matabari coal plant/port project.

So what part of the building blocks are not being created genius?

BD life expectancy is 71 years versus 66 years for India.

Show me any other reputable international organisation that has a different figure for Bangladesh....they all base it off the World Bank numbers since their poverty survey methodology are generally held in high repute.

There will be a major report coming out later this year. Let's see if Bangladesh has improved by any amount like its govt. is claiming.

And dont cherry pick social indicators. Shall I list every single one (mostly in Education) where India is ahead of Bangladesh? Its a really long list.

You can keep your marginally better health and malnutirtion.... and we will keep our significantly better education, training and lower poverty....along with higher income and human development index.....because I would rather have a society that is better trained and will be ultimately have higher chance/opportunity to be more productive/breaking the poverty cycle than worrying about squeezing out a few more years in old age for people that are stuck working looms and sewing machines all day for cents each hour.

India its 68, Bangladesh is 71.6

It will only narrow in the coming years since we jumped by a whole 2 years in just 1 report cycle.

BD is the one that will start accelerating as it came from being 24 years behind in independence dates.

It is only in the last few years that BD government finally has the money to start investing big in areas like infrastructure and education. Watch and see a quantum leap in both BD infrastructure and education in the next 10 years.

 

[Awesome Indian]

Well getting fast food is harder for people of BD than India

Proof will be in the pudding.

Its not like the north eastern states you talk of "controlling" will be sitting idly by in those 10 years either.

You don't get it due you?

North-Eastern states are dwarfed by size of BD population(4 times) and also the fact that they need BD for their transit to both the rest of India and the outside world.

Like I say they will become satellite economies of BD in due course along with W Bengal, although W Bengal less so due to it's population and no need for transit via BD.

The Time BD will be powerful enough to control N-E states they will be fully developed and BD will be(still is)in India's Control

But Bangladesh itself will be a satellite economy of India since India dwarfs it by 8 times and has already made significant inroads into it economically and politically.

You are in the vice grip of India (just look at the map). You can get used to that and flourish or you can have delusions of grandeur and it will be a good joke for us. Either way it doesn't change the basic economic reality between India and Bangladesh. Just look at the size of the trade deficit that exists.

We can talk about better integration to promote better economies of scale....but this concept of control and satellite economies is pretty premature since Bangladesh first has a lot to prove instead of fantasizing about. When that materialises in better terms of trade, then we know Bangladesh is becoming significant. So far, no ones really that impressed. Maybe it will change, but that will take a lot of effort by Bangladesh. It cannot rest on its current trajectory....it has sizeable problems that will end up getting in the way if it does not start addressing them now and in strong fashion.

Even if we discount that Bangladesh's data is from 2010 and for India's is 2015.This two information were sited from two different sources.For India it was found from world bank 2015 data,and for BD, no source were given.This is the quality of wikipedia list for you.In 2015 World bank and IMF upgraded their ppp factoring and poverty estimation upon which reflected in 12.4 percent figure for India.While for BD, I think it was taken from the data at least 10 years earlier with all those outdated calculation.

BD will never allow India to have strategic control of it's economy.

India, on the other hand, has pretty much handing over economic control of all neighbouring states to BD as it cannot develop them by it's own.

Look at BD's exports and imports - India is only a fraction on both indicators.
