There are two types of 'trans people', transgender (mentally feeling you're another gender), and transexual (being born with both/different reproductive organs). In Bangladesh's case, it is both, but I'd wager the first is more prevalent than the latter. It is however a good step for sure, but...

This is true, but even in India you'll see in national rankings, Malayalis/Keralites are third (after Punjabis and Kashmiris), and groups like Tamils for e.g. are higher on the list than are people from the undeveloped Hindi belt or relatively prosperous states with dietary issues like Gujarat...

It's a nutritional issue for sure. The large gap between South Asians and Europeans wasn't present just a 100 years ago. Even today, some groups (Punjabis, Kashmiris, Pashtuns etc) have European-level heights. The malnutrition situation in Bangladesh will be fixed with rising wages, and...

Not really much of a big deal to be fair. Even Korea during its early industrial stage used the might of its own entrepreneurs and manufacturers to develop so fast. Foreign investment isn't a requirement, nor is the playbook current developed countries used to get 'rich'. China is the biggest...

I am actually doing that in about 2-3 years once I graduate from university and land a good job. More of the diaspora investing would be a good step.

"The Indian-puppet BAL government should've always had the country remain least developed. They're pushing development to suit their pockets!"

Bangladesh also will have another census in 2021, and our comprehensive population data will be accurately known by then.

Bhai, better to just ignore trolls.

They didn't get there by magic. Turks have been educated, and have reached that level of human development for them to get rid of wrong interpretations of religion. They are much ahead of us in everything. This is true for groups ranging from Kazakhs (who got 'reuducated' during Soviet era like...

I don't think Muslims or Hindus are the problem. It's the lack of development in their home countries and ghettoization as immigrants. Of course there are exceptions. You don't see many Turkish terrorists out there for example even though the community in western Europe is huge, and is largely...

Pretty open provocation from an elected member of parliament in India, and not to mention of the ruling party. GoB needs to take action.

Apparently our IT exports are 1.8 billion $ now which will continue to grow exponentially within the coming years. Other sectors like leather, jute, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics and possibly shipbuilding and automobiles will probably see a rise in exports within the coming years as...

I'm talking about the high speed railway/bullet train project from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar, which isn't a priority for the Trans-Asian railway. Most countries in Asia don't operate high speed trains, nor do countries like Myanmar or North-east Indian states even have the capacity to. The project...

The main reason the airforce hasn't gone the Chinese route as of yet is probably because Myanmar has now become the primary focus, instead of India since the Rohingya crisis. Whatever we induct (Chinese or Russian), they do it too. If we go the western route (if we can afford it), they won't be...

According to the feasibility study, it is 8-10 Taka per Km or around 2000-2500 Taka, which is reasonable when buses currently charge 1500-2000 Taka for 6-8 hours of travel. The project of course should not be a priority given we're missing a lot of other infrastructures that are badly needed...

They're currently acquiring land for the Dhaka-Chittagong route as the feasibility study has been recently completed. Likely to bring in Chinese engineering firms. https://www.thedailystar.net/business/bangladesh-bullet-train-for-only-dhaka-to-chittagong-route-hasina-says-1851049

There is definitely a double standard in the post-WW2 Western European political climate where anything regards to Jews and the holocaust is deemed as hate speech. Even the Israeli boycott (BDS) movement was deemed illegal in France recently. The Jewish lobby and the diaspora are wealthy and...

Agreed, however personally Muslims or whoever need to stay calm when an irrelevant magazine makes belittling posts about anything. It is not productive or healthy to get offended at everything in the world. If not possible, they should at least engage in constructive criticism of the French...
