He's a respectable fellow Bengali, so I didn't want to continue the argument further. But, yes the murders in December are in fact the most well documented, and widows and family members of several dead intellectuals have come out publicly to identify the perpetrators (members of Al Badr, Al...

Things are getting really feisty in Myanmar. The coup has been positive for Bangladesh so far, no matter how you look at it. If the Junta prevails and manages to hold onto power, then it'll become an isolated pariah state again, possibly met with severe economic sanctions and military embargos...

Yes. But, it varies according to private firms. Most big private companies have good benefits as well as bonuses but its not mandatory, while government sectors are required to pay pensions and such.

Gross, but net income would be mainly the same, since income taxes are pretty low in Bangladesh, and a lot of people don't even pay. There are also bonuses that some receive during holidays like Eid or Durga Puja.

He knows da wey

A bit simplistic but engineers average about 1000-3000 $/per month. Entry level ones may make a little less while senior engineers with extensive experience make more than this typically. Software/web/misc ICT developers probably average 500 or up (hard to say since it's full of freelancers)...

The plan for economic corridors under the Delta Plan 2100 is the most promising development in our post independence history IMO (if it materialises). There is no other country that can to compare to Bangladesh in being so well suited to channel its rivers for economic development. The...

Majority of the people had neutral, and slightly even favourable views of India prior to BJP coming to power in 2014. But, post-BJP demonization of Bangladesh, the whole CAA "200 zillion illegal Bangladeshi termites" tirade, reluctance to comply to water sharing treaties, and continued border...

India's intervention in 1971 was not only based on humanitarian grounds, but also a chance to take care of its arch rival, everybody knows that. Most of the war was of course fought by our own freedom fighters, and we don't have to owe anything to India. Having said that, let's not pin falsified...

Dude, the intellectual killings were definitely not by India, not to mention a disproportionate amount of them were Hindu. I have known from many of my relatives ( who are not even pro-India or even pro-BAL) how the events transpired. I think I've mentioned a story about my maternal family as...

We are about to be self-sufficient in beef (& Dairy) production in less than a decade, maybe even start exporting, so thank you India. Next target should be cow urine exports.

Keep in mind that tree cover =/= forest cover. Our forest cover is about 11% and declines every year due to development and encroachment. In a densely populated country like Bangladesh, it is understandable that forest cover can't increase, but we must take adequate steps to protect the...

Well in Afghanistan, one can even invest in the opium industry.

The truth is that climate change is absolutely real, and humans have caused climates to shift much faster than they typically do. Having said that, Bangladesh isn't going underwater anytime soon, not even 1/10th of the country, let alone alarmist levels like 75%. The Bengal delta has always been...

There's actually been a "silent revolution" in terms of aquaculture in Bangladesh, with much more room to grow. We should be one of the top 3 producers of cultured fish about now. Additionally, there's a lot of prospects for offshore farming in the Bay of Bengal, an opportunity that hasn't been...

Means a crane (as in the bird) iirc, pretty archaic name though lol.

Best "Never having visited the Republic of Bangladesh, my reflections are probably missing a certain something. Nevertheless I began to ask about the suburb’s unofficial name. “Why is it called Bangladesh?” mimicked a colleague, incredulous. “Because it’s hot, poor, far away, and nobody knows...

Walton needs to quickly enter the consumer drone market, and learn from current Chinese drone makers. It's a relatively new and open market benefiting greatly from economies of scale. Imagine if it does, it can likely capture a large segment of foreign (and local) demand since the concept is...

Nikola basically another supposed EV manufacturer that duped millions of investors into putting money in a company with not much real prospects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Corporation#Fraud_allegations

Take a shot every time Saudi investors want to invest in Bangladesh, and you're dead.
