Yeah, I am convinced by your 'evidence'.
your consent is not an issue, as if convinced you will be able to do anything about it, Your PM is convinced and is formulating a law to stop this menace.
That is my question. People don't actually migrate to another country to beg, they migrate for a better life or earn money through work. Most of the Bangladeshis who go to the Middle East are unskilled workers. Even Malaysia has a healthy number of them.
Okay, there may be some isolated cases of illegal migrants (it happens everywhere). For instance, Pakistan embassy recently stopped issuing visas to Bangladeshis since they do not come back to Bangladesh.
But 20 million illegal Bangladeshis in India alone? Sounds really exaggerated. Like as if hordes of Bangladeshis throughout the past 40 years are dying to migrate to India.
The strong possibility is that many could be refugees from the 71' war. Which the GoI didn't take any measures against. All Indira did was fund the Shanti Bahini
No, your are wrong. Bangladeshis do not bother to go to a poor India. They go to Europe, USA and middle east. Check the Times of India link below and see Indians are going for work not only to the USA, but also to Bangaldesh. Note that Bangladesh is the 4th likely destination of these poos from India.
Bangladesh should annex the seven sisters in the Indian NE to support all these Indians who regularly come to Bangladesh, take a muslim name and live illegally. India is incapable to administer that region, any way. Why bother keeping it by force?
India world's largest remittance recipient
Himanshi Dhawan, TNN Jun 20, 2008, 01.15am IST
NEW DELHI: For Indians, the umbilical cord is never severed. India has now captured one-tenth of global remittance flows, making it the world's largest single recipient.
An estimated $27.1 billion was remitted to India in 2006-2007. The Indian diaspora is estimated at 20 billion.
Migrant remittances have recently surged to the forefront of development agendas worldwide but the growth in India has been dramatic. Total remittances has grown steadily over the past 15 years, and dramatically in the past 10, skyrocketing from $2.1 billion in 1990-1991 to $27.1 billion in 2006-2007.
According to policy experts, factors responsible for the growth in remittances include the diminishing role of unofficial channels, shifting emigration patterns to high-skilled technology jobs, greater competition in the money transfer market and the strength of the Indian economy.
The top 10 destination countries for Indians include the UAE, Saudi Arabia, US, Bangladesh, Nepal, UK, Sri Lanka, Canada, Kuwait and Oman. Experts point out that softer immigration laws in the US and the search for better economic opportunities fuelled a surge in the overseas migration of Indians.
Unlike previous phases of migration, emigration sent better educated Indians in the last decade especially to the US, UK and Canada.
A recent JP Morgan study said that deposits by non-resident Indians (NRIs) amounted to around $32 billion or 23% of foreign exchange reserves. Portfolio and real estate investment has been largely concentrated in the IT space. While the report noted that the diaspora could act as a "powerful catalyst", even helping India realise and perhaps exceed its aspiration of 10% annual growth, the onus for better capitalisation lies on the Indian government.
It is no wonder that the government is keen to recognize and pander to the interests of the growing diaspora. Overseas Indian affairs minister Vyalar Ravi has set up a 'welfare fund' for overseas workers. The ministry plans to use this fund for compulsory health insurance of overseas workers and their families.

Dear BD posters,
Some of these Indian posters have their heads buried so deep in their a**es that all extraction attempts are desined to be futile !!!
Dear U dont need to go anywhere as u can becum a citizen of india too click on below link of same times of India... and Bangladeshi are so rich that we can dream of mate......
I think they are confused with the Bangladeshi refugees from the 1971 Indo-Pak war So far, they haven't done anything to address the issue and will remain that way. It's been 40+ years.
If there really are any cases of illegal immigration, then they'd better provide proof. Not Wikipedia sources, or political sources. Just pure scholar work as to the factors that contribute immigration.
And besides, why would a Bangladeshi want to settle in India? They gonna beg on the streets or something?
And since now we have a pro-India government, why not they address the issue if it really exists?
And sadly, this issue will undoubtedly be used for political purposes in India. Doesn't matter if it is right or wrong.
Nude & uncivilized Indians , what you Know about Bangladesh , What is your per capita income & ours ? Till you are living in dwells & caves , though you are a nuclear power . Have you ever win a war in your 2000 years history ? Answer is No .

Tell me one logical reason why someone would go to India (esp northeastern states) instead of middle east ? And you say they are begging over there, so this adds to my point, why would anyone go to some country to beg when he can get a job in the middle east?
@ashokdeiva : i know you are a logical person but do take a look at who started this flaming in a completely peaceful thread.
Dear BD posters,
Some of these Indian posters have their heads buried so deep in their a**es that all extraction attempts are desined to be futile !!!
Is there any factual proof of 15-20 million Bangladeshi Illegal migrants in India?
Reports by World Bank, united nations, red cross or other international agency?
Im not debating if they are illegals or not but are these credible numbers or just simple estimations??
Peace
