No country ever developed with only the participation of foreign money. BD people lack knowledge, technology, experience and capital to do any important job by themselves. BD people cannot even design or manufacture a machine today, while it is being done in India. How do you guys expect it to continue to grow? It will take many more decades (or Centuries) to learn from others. Once, there are capable people and companies in BD like India has, it will be possible to start real progress.
Why are you comparing Bangladesh with India which has a different economic set up all along than Bangladesh owing to it's vast size? Indian economy is 10 times of Bangladesh and it's consumer base is 8 times bigger.So a lot of technology intensive, heavy industries developed there early. Do you think, this was possible in small Bangladesh? Due to it's massive population size and some other factors like inheritance of British legacy and a compulsion to learn English to do work in a country which is linguistically very diverse, India managed to create a pool of man power skilled in English language second only USA. This factor driven the growth of Call center and IT boom there. Do you think that was possible in a smaller and linguistically homogeneous Bangladesh? So it is laughable to expect same level of knowledge, technology, experience and capital for Bangladesh which is neither as large as India nor have undergone industrialization 100 years ago like Japan.Rather than beating the bush here and there and comparing apple with orange why don't you focus in vital indicators necessary for economic growth so that you may not lost your sight counting the trees in the forest?
1.Agricultural growth
2.Industrial growth including manufacturing growth
3.Service sector growth
4.Literacy rate including mean years of schooling
5.Female labor participation
6.Reduced TFR and demographic dividend
7.Public health profile including life expectancy
8.Electrification growth rate
8.Gross capita formation as (%) of GDP
9.Inflation rate and macro-economic stability
10.Foreign debt to GDP ratio
11.Growth in technical and vocational education
12.Growth in infrastructure developmental spending
in some of these indicators we have done already good job and in some others, rapidly narrowing the gap with similar fast growing developing countries.Now tell me, in which of these indicators Bangladesh is doing worse than it's peer countries and about to fail big time?
