As a normal Bangladeshi, you have so many excuses for not developing technology, knowledge and experience in BD. How about England? How about Holland and many other nations with tiny population? How about Japan which has only 126 million population, but, yet reached the top level. How about South Korea with a much smaller population than even Japan.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?
Thing is, BD people learn superstitions from their early childhood. They do not learn anything good on which the country can propel forward with. They believe in the Sky power to solve all their problems. Finally, they end up in the deserts of SA watering the debt trees, and thousands of literate Indians, SriLankans and Nepalese get managerial jobs in BD.
The govt is callous, It has completely failed to establish any good modern administrative institutions that function well. Unless the govt can motivate people towards modernization, there is no way BD will progress any further. Its LDC tag will be removed, but its developing status may continue for many more Centuries. How the PDF people expect a country to develop with the input of Chinese or Japanese money and technology in a few projects when a modern nation has to build thousands of such projects?
