Bangladeshi citizens can no longer own more than 60 bighas of land

[StraightEdge]

1 bigha doesn't seem such a big land. At least make it more reasonable if you want to have such drastic laws. Many rich guys will be super pissed now.

Wow, if only something similar is introduced in Pakistan. Might just solve a major portion of our problems as we would be rid of large land owners, waderas, sardars and jagirdaars etc., from the Parliament and Assemblies.

Pakistan should do land reforms immediately , land should go to real farmers who are landless , this will bring maximum land under agriculture . Another rule should be that residential plots should not be bigger than 200 sq mtr . This will save agricultural land .

 

[hembo]

that is too much , in India a single person is allowed to have six bigha of agricultural land , feudalism was abolished by Indira gandhi .

North Indian bigha and Bangladeshi bigha is not of same dimension. It is same as North East India bigha though, which is 14400 square feet or about 1/3 acres. In Assam land ceiling act, ownership is limited to 50 BD bigha. One can subvert it by opening a plantation company.

What a stupid law!!

Take care of wealth hoarding through the tax system - instead of through socialist rationing!!!

Tax on land is the best way to ensure wealth distribution without choking genuine entrepreneurship.

No a good move by a Bangladeshi government.
That will prevent a feudal lord culture and a power and control of resources they get through that land.
Pakistan is still suffering from that menace.

 

[bête noire]

I don't buy your BS logic! Why it's 60 bighas and not 55 or 65 bighas? Who decided that 60 bighas should be enough?

What is the golden standard of "a lot for any one person"? It's dam.n socialist idea that I abhor!


Or buy with black money! Take loan , start development project, spend 3/4 times ( necessary for loot) !

But common folks can't buy more than 60 bighas because they buy with white money!

If you go against it , you are either Razakar or a Pakistani,you should go to Pakistan! Period!

(This is BAL mentality nowadays!)

Stupid reasoning. Great example of perfect being the enemy of good. Unless it doesn't have any loopholes and not have corruptions have any effect on it etc, they can't pass an otherwise good law? Instead of arguing why we should pass it because it isn't perfect, how about support it and ask for adding on improvement to the law like fixing those loopholes.

If someone inherits more than 60 bighas then what happens?

"If an individual possesses over 60 bighas of land (33 shotok per bigha), the government will be able to acquire the additional land," he explained.

It's dam.n socialist idea that I abhor!

I judge a law by it's usefulness and effects, not on whether its socialist or capitalist. BD govt have many stupid and corrupt people but at least they don't have someone as stupid as you.

Need of the hour, this is a great law. We have some people with very large land holdings but millions of landless farmers who have nothing. They have little hope if ever owning farming land because of higher land prices partially because of some large land owners. This law if implemented correctly will make more agricultural land available for the poor and destitute and increase heir chances by however little of owning agricultural land. The underlying spirit of the law is good, it is to be seen if it will be implemented correctly.

And who are you to decide?

Again, your thoughts are utterly BS to me , I deny it's every word!

I should have the right to buy as much land as i can afford buying with my hard earning money!

I'm not anyone's slave who will take my freedom to buy lands with my own halal money, Period!

Wow great! So many socialist from Islamic republic of Pakistan! I guess why BAL is founding their new found love to Pakistan!

However this so called good move will be abolished once the Indo Russian lapdog step down with dishonorable exit!

Bangladesh is a free Land and will always remain free!

15 years of unfortunate fascism can't make Bangladesh another socialist country!

Well for the first time I agree with you!

You will lose it to muktizuddher chetona! You must participate in pension plan ,so that s Alam can be beneficial!

(So bhai, it's better for us to buy rikshaw or auto rikshaw , as according to our damn "Khete khaoa manush" theory, as if Doctor, engineers ,bankers , professors , and SME business people don't work to earn money!

Vab khana ei ze kayik porisrom kora chara onno ra khate na!

So lets make our country free from desk job, or lets reserve it only for BAL people! )

So BAL backed oligarchs can loot and common people must have the property only what they need! Damn BS!

1 bigha doesn't seem such a big land. At least make it more reasonable if you want to have such drastic laws. Many rich guys will be super pissed now.

It's 60 Bigha ! However since common people are mlecchas aka schedule cast , so how dare they will buy property that they don't need (!?)? How dare they will invest their money on land, so that their children will be beneficial? Their children are the children of slaves , so no right to inheritance property! They must do slavery to eat and live a comfortable life!

Only BAL brahmins ( don't take it religiously i didn't mean it, i mean elite by it, in a sarcastic way) have these right to do whatever they want! Rest of people are less than dog!

Too late, won't happen.
The people who would legislate for and enforce this land reform are the same ones who own all the land or are married into land owning families.
The landowners, business people, generals, top bureaucrats and politicians are all intermarried into each others families.
Turkeys don't vote for Christmas.
Why do you think the country is in the state that it is.

If this is the case, then what will happen to hundreds of bighas of land owned by the leading businessmen in Bangladesh? Do you think they will let the govt. take their land just like that?

it is very difficult if law makers are themselves big land holders .

 

[karmaa]

We have no feudalism in our country. What abolishing feudalism in Bangladesh has anything to do with Sarwardy's departure from Pakistan's politics?

If a single man own hundred of bighas of land and there are others who are landless people who work on others land , this is feudalism . Big landholders control politics of that area .

If this is the case, then what will happen to hundreds of bighas of land owned by the leading businessmen in Bangladesh? Do you think they will let the govt. take their land just like that?

Govt can take land from people who are not tilling the land , govt can distribute this land to landless people who will do the farming on ground .
