https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_by_country Overall Urban % is 38.2% for Bangladesh in 2020, with an annual urbanization rate of 3.17% while India has an urban population of 34.9%, and has an annual urbanization rate of 2.37%. In fact, only Bhutan and Maldives, both with a population...

Dhaka is the only "double digit million" city, but there are a lot of cities in the 100 thousands and millions (India itself, a country of almost 1.4 billion only has 4 or 5). I'm from Chittagong and it has 5-8 million people, and hosts the busiest port on the Bay of Bengal, and 3rd busiest in...

I've always thought Dhaka was a bit too crowded and populous to function properly. Though, I've stayed mainly in hotels in Gulshan and Uttara during my visits (been like 10-12 times), so probably don't even know the "actual picture" which may be worse. Chittagong is a nice place to live though...

Both Indos and UKBengali are right to an extent. The train won't allow daily commute of workers in the first 2 decades, simply because the fare would be too expensive, despite lower time. It'll be used on a one-time basis however, and will likely always sell out or be close to 75% capacity due...

It's going to be 6 lines or so in total initially, and completion date of all will probably take till 2030 (or more if we're unlucky). But, yeah work is going to be faster than the metro rail for sure since there's no hassle with different departments anymore, but underground route brings its...

Indonesians have a higher standard of living and are more developed, not to mention a large land mass and abundant natural resources. Bangladesh is probably in between half a decade to a decade or so behind Indonesia in development, and the country has limited natural resources and a large...

Likely next year, might get delayed though due to covid, but the subway is more expansive than the metro rail being built.

True Gopnik. How do Ukrainians perceive you btw?

Grab some BrahMos if we have to. :azn:

Not a bad interview, especially coming from Momen.

Likely our own brand, technically we already have our own EV brand, just not a "car-type" one yet.

" Beza also informed that the first ever electric vehicle plant of the country is going to be built at the industrial park. "

BTW we are indeed industrializing at a rapid pace. The 100 economic zones will all be at full capacity by 2030, which will employ about 10 million people directly, many more indirectly. Not only are those zones attracting things like textiles-garments from overseas markets, and existing light...

Kala bhuna is hands down the best beef dish ever created.

Alia Madrasas are just like any government school, except that they teach Arabic, and is of course more Islamic-focused. Quomi madrasas don't teach any subject properly besides Islamic studies, and that is depriving students from essential learning, which is deplorable to say the least.

Bhai these words still apply today

যেসব বঙ্গেত জন্মি হিংসে বঙ্গবাণী সেসব কাহার জন্ম নির্ণয় না জানি দেশী ভাষা বিদ্যা যার মনে ন জুয়ায় — Abdul Hakim (1620-1690) , "Bangabani"

There are also a handful of Marwaris, around 20-25000 mainly in North Bengal. Majority are beginning to marry Bengali Hindus. They are middle class, and hardly have influence unlike in West Bengal where they virtually dominate the economy.

The mosque is in Bangladesh, the Indian bunker was set up in no man's land which is illegal. Were you in the ESL program in school?
