Thank you but that source proves little.
"Some 3.2 million people from Bangladesh have settled down India until now"
This 3.2 million may also refer to the millions of Hindus that went during the war of 1971, and also people(mainly Hindus) that could have migrated in the 1970s and 1980s when the Indian economy was better than BD's. Remember the proportion of Hindus in the BD population fell from 13% to 9% between 1972-2000. Some of this was due to the higher Muslim birth rate while the other reason would have been Hindus moving to India for better economy and/or also religious reasons.
Let us have a source that talks about BD Muslims emigrating en mass to India then we can discuss further.

You would have to download the data which is presented on the right side. How could it jump from 9 million to 3 billion in 2 years. The data on the Indian website is fudged.
illegal immigrants remit their earnings through illegal processes i.e hundi etc, hence the sending country couldn't record those amounts while the receiving country properly gets the record. The link I used is from an Indian source.
By that logic, they are Bengali Muslims who hated the idea of living with their fellow muslims and (supposedly) stayed on in India. Why are you so eager to embrace them?
I've already explained in my earlier post!
Well, Bangladesh has always been one of the highest remittance sending country to India, here is another link from Yahoo! Finance
"Rank 5: Indians working in Bangladesh remitted $3,716 million back home."
Source:Migration and Development Brief 2012 from the World Bank’s Migration and Remittance Unit

I think these are bogus figures being circulated without actually checking the world bank data. If you care to download the brief you will see the historic remittance outflows from bangladesh since 1970 and the maximum it send out is only 12 million.
You are the dumbass because both the links you posted are getting their data from the world bank and they are circulating the same wrong figure. The year the world bank shows is for year 2012, so how is it obsolete. I stand by my statement because I am going to the original source which is the World bank.A dumba$$ showing some obsolete figures and calling the credible sources bogus, that's what we call pure Indian argument!
"Rank 5: Indians working in Bangladesh remitted $3,716 million back home."
Bangladesh is a country which despite its increasing foreign reserves (and a positive BOP) forces its citizens to "endorse" USD on their passports to spend it
So basically on has to take the Govt.'s permission to spend their own money abroad (to ensure the Govt.s foreign reserve!)
You think a country with USD 17.35 Billion in reserves would allow reverse remittance of USD 3.7 Billion when its own remittance figures will barely touch USD 15 Billion.
Absurd!

So you think the illegal immigrants would send their money back home following all the rules and laws? I've already stated in my earlier posts that the illegal Indian immigrants remit their earnings back home through some illegal channels like hundi etc.
Feel free to disprove the calculation below.
~287 billion BDT
With 5000 Tk/individual (shooting in the dark with the recent min wage for your RMG industry)
~5.7 Crore Indians....I wonder what these many Indians are doing in Bangladesh
The source is the World Bank but of course the actual figure could be wrong
287 billion taka divided by 12 = 24 billion taka a month.
Let us assume that they manage to send home 5000 Taka a month. Remember that the typical garment worker in BD earns around 8000 Taka.
24 billion /5000 = 4.8 million Indians in BD.
I admit that this sounds a bit too high. It is unlikely that there are 5 million Indians working in BD.
There was a UN report(i think) that said around half a million Indians work illegally in BD.
I personally have no problem with this as long as they obey the law and show due respect to local customs. They are after-all very unfortunate souls that want to improve themselves and there families lives.
