Well, that is because there was some form democracy back then. There was such a thing called free media too. If the BNP-JI had done what the AL are doing now, I'm pretty sure they'd catch hell for it. They always did for some reason. Not to mention the English-language dailies who had more...

The UN estimates that the economic losses could be substantial. When you damage the ecosystem, losses are inevitable. One will say power is the profit, but what of the ecosystem? These effect other systems as well. Given that Bangladesh is a signatory of the Paris Agreement, this doesn't bode...

Liberal Democratic Party still exist? I am surprised. The AL up till now had managed to satisfy all the major stakeholders. Namely BGB, Coast Guard, police, RAB and other civil defense services, big corporations (yes, there are people holding positions of power who do own big businesses or in...

It is mainly the middle class and especially retired persons who will be hit hard. Poor people (the majority) will not have to worry about this and hence of no consequence for the government. Goes on to show if one doesn't have muscle, they have no say in anything.

If the these tax laws go into effect, the middle-class along with their future generations are thoroughly screwed. Well, just imagine this: You have a savings account in a bank, a good bank. Due to lack of demand for loans, interest rates of saving deposits are low. Now if we add the recent...

The psychology of an entire society? Hmm...well that'll just go in circles then. I know for a fact that Gandhi was not the hero that people portray him to be. It is nice that Indians can freely talk about him. One of the most hypocritical things he said in my view was Hitler's treatment of Jews...

I don't know. You sound very squishy-like. Now what were we talking about again? A new religion?

I have began to think that the man comes here whenever he forgets to take his meds on time. There's suspicion of him being a disgruntled Bihari as well. I don't force anything unnaturally. You are right, it is important to give it time. The Hindus as of late had been acting a bit weird...

I'm sorry, did I offend you? And what in God's name is a Sanghi? Is it some new religion? :lol: People have rights you know. And I will raise my voice even if it offends you. But hey, you don't like what you are reading, don't bother participating and remain in your little dreamworld. It is...

Cheating is okay in war. Maybe they would have been still alive had they been sleeping in a secured perimeter? Regardless, it certainly shows the capability of their commanders.

Long ago back in the early 2000's, a group of school children somewhere in Dhaka gave a group of RAB officers 'thumbs up' as a sign of a job well done, an expression of appreciation. It is an understandable gesture in much of 'modern' Bangladeshi culture even all those years ago. What those RAB...

I am starting to think that these folks only do these events for the money. It is interesting how the power and corruption of money can cloud the purity of a cause. Be it Muslim, Hindu or otherwise. Or maybe they aren't in track with the times? The Hindus of Bangladesh as of right now are in...

And how do you know that? Do you know her or something? I am willing to believe that you have mad connections to come to such conclusions. Your country is no longer your country. And that my dear countryman is a fact, like it or not.

Let's put aside everything and ask ourselves. Suppose if country X worked very hard on an important and sensitive piece of military technology. Would country X be willing to completely transfer that sensitive technology to country Y which happens to be a friendly country to country X? And this...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_lobby_in_the_United_States On a side-note, under U.S. Law, foreign corporations can lobby given that they are endorsed by employees of the firm who are U.S. citizens. There is no formal organization as far as Indian lobbying goes. But something tells me...

Oh God...

Those are not police. They are SSF responsible for protection of VIP's.

Very expensive.

Exaggeration... At best, it is cooperation against terrorists had the need for military action ever comes. A government that respects freedom of expression with no fear of persecution or even murder (which had happened BTW). Normal relations like what any other country would have. We are...

Imprisonment day? :lol: Tarique Rahman was one of the main reasons for BNP's downfall. I don't know what this 'defense pact' will be. But I would suspect that it will be more about cooperation on certain issues like terrorism. Like, if the need for military action against terrorist havens ever...
