Bangladesh Navy

[Bilal9]

in the last three parahraphs author was quite harsh about the govt

Yup here are the concerns

Judging from the events, it is clear that the deep sea project, which was kept in limbo for 45 years by successive governments, was flaunted by an insecure government to create legitimacy immediately after the election, and has been shoved in the mouth of China after the international community has grudgingly accepted the government, and now is being offered to India, the key ally of the ruling party.

The Chinese have forty to fifty years of experience building deep sea ports. Compared to Chinese ports Indian ports are horribly inadequate and show amateurish planning, design, construction. The standards are far, far worse for the recent three/four ports they have built.

Giving it to the Japanese/Korean construction companies is one thing. Giving it to the Indian companies is horribly shortsighted and we will be suffering the after-effects of shoddy construction, planning and shortcuts for years to come.

It is well-known that Indian companies and govt. don't have Bangladesh' best interests in mind. I'm sorry but Indian companies only specialize in cheatery, forgery and taking shortcuts when there is no other option available to the buyer, especially a country like Bangladesh. This one issue alone could unseat the SHW govt.

It is a sad turn of events, because Bangladesh needs much deeper consideration as to what the right location is for setting up the deep sea port, and who the right partner to build it.

Bangladesh needs neither to be a “string of pearl” of China, nor to play the fiddle to serve Indian strategic interests.

The economic consideration, the financial strength, the terms of the deal, and a sound technical study based on comparative analysis of the available locations should be the primary criteria by which such a major decision is taken, as this decision will have major technical, financial, and infrastructural ramifications for years to come.

I don't think the author is correct in assuming that the decision makers in this more-or-less illegal govt. have the wherewithal to decide this kind of issue by themselves, even if they had Bangladeshi interests at heart. They are former goons, thugs and political cadres and 'strongmen' of the political party (likewise with the BNP) and are interested only (only!) in 'enhancing' their Swiss or Singapore bank accounts. They care little about what is good for Bangladesh.

The only hope I have is that a future leader (and party) realizes the economical strength of our country and realizes that we don't have to tow anyone's line in the future, whether India or China. Having said that, I still firmly believe that China's interest in Bangladesh is mostly economic.

The Indian interest is simply to prevent Bangladesh from becoming economically strong and an entity that can decide its future on its own - rather than being a convenient market and a vassal state for India.
