True. The yemenis rebels are not a regular standing force, therefore our soldiers, if captured are not under the protection of the Geneva conventions. I am all for the army removing mines and making the world a safer place, but it is a active war zone, with no clear gains for bangladesh if we...

I dunno bro, i dont think china are on our team. China will not care about the rohingya because Myanmar is in a strategic geopolitcal position. Myanmar borders china and bay of bengal. If The straits of malacca gets bloackaded, they can still ship their oil/gas from the gulf to myanmar and...

16000tk is definitely a negotiation tactic. They knew they werent going to get that much. But it came at a cost, the vocal ones got kicked out and those who toed the line got the benefits.

Nah that island increased our EEZ and our territorial waters. The way they are behaving is really unacceptable.

Just open up a subreddit. You can have mods and remain anonymous.

If she does decide to retire from power she should handpick a successor from the current cabinet, and make sure that the party supports the candidate. She should also create a post for herself as a minister mentor(like lee kuan yew). These two things will help prevent infighting over her...

This is a very important development. If bangladeshi businesses plays their cards right and manage to tie up with foreign companies, it will be a huge boost to our manufacturing sector. Walton is a decent company, however, i feel that they do not conduct much market research or R&D to be a...

Those are the type 053h3 frigate. I think bangladesh gov is thinking about purchasing them

Really good article. Sums up most of the concerns by bangladesh regarding relations with india.

Any idea if they are getting transferred to coast guard or getting scrapped??

Didnt you bring up the status symbol thing by mentioning "symbol of a strong state"?? I read your previous post as, buying mi28 is a "symbol of a strong state". And i dont agree with that statement. CHT issue and the militant issue maybe getting smaller but it is still army's main priority...

I think mobile phones should be allowed for children. Parents have to responsible and teach the kids how to discipline themselves on the usage of electronic devices. Like it or not, electronic devices will soon become a part and parcel of life. It is better to teach them self discipline on the...

If this incident happened 3 years back, i can bet my left nut that the USA has come up with a countermeasure by now.

True words man. A lot of movies has good stories and themes, but get ruined by cringey zee tv type drama, shit acting, tatsless booty songs and even shittier comedy. Nepotism is everywhere in south asian film industry. But bollywood takes the cake.

Really doubt the regional politics of south asia will affect bd's decision on the chem attacks in syria. Its a touchy subject, with world powers at opposing side. Bd will try to please everyone without pissing off anyone as it will be detrimental to our growth.

Well i agree with you on that point, but still majority of BA operational activities in bd centre around fighting separatist and extremists. Raids on militant dens in forested areas are a major part of army's operations. Plus, we shouldnt purchase weapons for status symbol, we should purchase...

Yea bud, the infrastructure was the nail in the coffin for bd tourism. Our infrastructure is adequate, but not enough to attract your average holiday goer from the west. I would say transport is improving as well, most of the country is connected by air and road. However, there is much work left...

I doubt trade between west and bd will be affected much. The west is currently too divided to take a stance thanks to trump and the rise of the political right. Plus russia signed a lot of deals and improving realtions with other countries as well(vietnam, malaysia). These countries are not...

Finally we are getting some dedicated attack helos. Mi-28NM will be a huge complement to the armour regiments while mi35 will be very useful for commando ops and fighting insurgency in the hills. Lets see what our army choses to fit their doctorine

I think Bangladesh should target niche types of tourism instead of trying for mass tourism like backpackers and vacationers. We dont offer much choices for mass tourism. However, we do offer a great deal when it comes to things like wildlife and religious tourism. For example, there is a lot...
