Are you 100% sure that this needs to be done every night as I read a report saying that using the high-speed line between these hours for freight would be possible?
Ok, this is not acceptable from Hasina and BAL.
BD should maintain some tens of thousands of fully armed border guards and they should have shoot to kill orders if any of these BSF scum fire on BD'shis within its territory or cross into BD.
Pakistan spends 1% of GDP on its nuclear forces.
India lays claim to Pakistani- controlled part of Kashmir.
India is a fair bit stronger conventionally.
Unless the two countries sign a peace-agreement then it cannot really reduce its defence budget by much.
@Indos
Line won't be ready before 2030.
BD has extremely high population density and by the time it is ready incomes would be much higher than now.
Just look at what a lot of people said about the 4 billion US dollar Padma Bridge and now that it is up and running it has set up an economic...
Good to see and Walton will keep its focus to be in the top-5 electronics brands by 2030.
No company ever reached the top without being ambitious and Walton is one of them.
Walton is one of the key companies that can transform the image of BD from being a poor impoverished country to a modern...
Dhaka-Chittagong high-speed railway is a no brainer - it will connect two metropolis's of a combined population of over 30 million and commute between these and settlements on or near the line will be possible.
Let's get it done by 2030.:cheers:
Multiethnic states do not work and tend to be dysfunctional.
States like China and BD that are relatively homogenous are the best models for social order and harmony.
I get what you mean but it could get really complicated.
1. Which team should a white European player born and brought up in UK play for?
2. What if the above player was white and was half native English and half native German?
3. How about mixed race players of both English and say an...
Totally possible.
Since 2009 ICT exports have been growing by around 40% a year on average.
Last fiscal ICT exports were 1.4 billion US dollars. Assuming same average growth rate to 2025 then it is 1.4 x 1.4^3 which is 4 billion US dollars.
PS - ICT exports how up after BAL came into power...
Did you even bother to read and try to understand my post before replying?
Your analogy is ridiculous btw,
32 billion US dollars of reserves for 165 million people with a per capita GDP PPP of 8,000 US dollars is not that much.
The proposed BD-India FTA is just part of a grand economic and political partnership that will drive the economies of eastern India and BD from 3rd world status to 2nd world within the next 10-15 years.
Unlike Pakistan exports to China which have stagnated at 2-3 billion US dollar mark, those...
How can anyone compare 700,000 population Bhutan with 165 million BD?
BD has an economy TWICE as large as W Bengal and the NE states combined.
India in essence is relying on BD to develop its eastern regions and so there is nothing to gain by it hampering BD economy in any way. Exports from...
A strange kind of "puppet" government that buys nearly all its weapons from China, which is India's no. 1 nemesis.
A strange kind of "puppet" government that is constructing all kinds of strategic infrastructure in partnership China, which again is India's no. 1 nemesis.
BD is not "fighting"...
We need to stop seeing what we want to see.
BD government is being ultraconservative here as always.
Despite the fact that FX reserves are rising, there is still a lot of pressures in the economy happening and if someone makes an offer like this, then you need to at least consider the offer...
Are you sure you are not confusing me with others here? They are the ones that think the BD government is full of saboteurs and traitors whereas I am happy with the current BD government
I actually agree with you that BD shipbuilding industry is not capable of making ships that it has ordered...
The problem is that you thought it smart to subtly attack others in an ad-hominem way.
I cannot recall ever engaging in you as your posts are infrequent and frankly too long to bother reading.
Anyway have you gotten over your heartbreak as regards that girl yet? I found it pathetic that you...
