Please do not misspell it- its Bharat *******- and it has issues with us not the other way around-

Well you're probably aware of the 'other' forum BR used to compete with ;)

It still exists (the 'other' forum), but with vastly reduced traffic (thanks to def.pk)

Pakistan has been in the throes of a rumoured reconstitution of the government under the army’s patronage, similar to what Bangladesh enacted in a hybrid judicial-technocrat government. Planned as a clean-up therapy to bring some sense to the alternatively vindictive policies of both Hasina Wajed and Khaleda Zia, it additionally aimed at weeding out the corrupt.
The Bangladesh army did a couple of things better: one, they did not directly take over power, and two, while cleaning the corrupt from the system, carried out a thorough census and instituted a strong and independent Election Commission. The Election Commission’s insularity from any external influence was so explicitly manifested that Khaleda Zia initially boycotted the elections for a clear failure to be able to manipulate the commission for favour. We in Pakistan got involved in some other acts, chief were the infamous NRO condoning corruption and a blatant misstep to neuter the judiciary.
Since elections in 2008 and the return of Hasina Wajid under a relatively cleansed dispensation, the Bangladesh model has undergone some even more significant variations, perhaps a Bangladesh Model II. It is worth a look.
Under Ms Wajid, Bangladesh enacted an act to declare the country secular. This has separated the clergy from all matters of governance, political interference and issuing fatwas in matters of personal life. Next, a revolution of sorts has come about with the Grameen experience. Ordinary rural women have been empowered by small loans and guidance to invest in garment manufacturing and this has helped unshackle them from the religious straitjacket and presumed male domination. And, the fact is that these women are the real force behind the rise of Bangladesh’s garment industry. They have chosen to educate their daughters at the same level as their sons and also have smaller families. Importantly, the mullah’s ability to interfere in their belief system has been curtailed by the state.

Bangladesh today is the world’s fourth highest exporter of garments — at $12 billion a year (this for a country that grows no cotton!). Investors and entrepreneurs from neighbouring countries, particularly Pakistan and Sri Lanka, are shifting their manufacturing plants to Bangladesh. Under Hasina Wajid, the economy has been averaging annual GDP growth of six per cent for the past three years. Bangladesh has near universal literacy and is far ahead of other South Asian nations in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Around a million Bangladeshis leave their shores every year for employment in foreign countries and contribute over $10 billion a year in remittances. In another innovation, the central tax authorities held two fairs to enable citizens to join the income tax payment scheme. What happened? Long lines formed as they joined in to be a part of the drive and pay the applicable taxes.
Bangladesh is, with great national pride, the literal better-half of the erstwhile Pakistan. That needs to be applauded. And that is the model we need in Pakistan.


The question is that are there any takers? Are we going to change our ‘hate-India’ mindset as Bangladesh has done, freeing resources for the economy? Of course, at the same time, can we do without the army chaperoning this infantile democracy, especially since democracy itself seems unwilling to grow and the state is unable to make all those who should pay actually pay tax.


The author gets haywire at the end jeopardizing a good read lolzz. he is confused mixing too many things ranging from method of getting rid of corruption in BD and comparing it with Pakistan, then he jumped to secular or non secular steps in BD, then comes the trade and mentioning that Nepal and other countries are shifting trade focus to BD. so all in all he is more focusing on Bangladesh and its steps in few fields than discussing bharat and Pakistan

anyway i am highlighting the points in the write up which have more relevance than unnecessarily mentioning Bharat aka India at the end and spoiling his own otherwise a good write up.

Hope bharatis and Pakistanis will read these points instead of commenting on the Wrong headline or misplaced headline .


now read carefully the bold parts in the quoted write up . BTW the BD economic points mentioned are not due to India lolzz so the author next time needs to clear his own mind what he wants to write.


the wrong headline has thrown the write up to dogs

I think the focus is to stop obsessing with India and get some progress in your own country. BD model is a prime example, that what i am guessing the author wanted to potray
 
I was clearing his misunderstandings- he not a good observer after all :D-

:) when they just read the headline and assume the details on their own then it over-excitement takes place which kills the cat while crossing the heavy trafficked road ;)
 
26 Pages of discussion shows how much we 'LOVE' each other.

Read it 10 times and you will understand he is confused.

The BD model is not at all linked to India either in terms of obsession or non obsession. i dont have time now but even his BD points can be challenged and he may needs restructuring his claims later.


for time being if we take up his points viz a viz BD and link it up with "any love for India" then it can be altogether multiplied with zero. today India has more issues with BD, BD public is suspicious of Indian role in their country or you may say Indian interference. Indian BSF is killing innocent Bangladeshis on border every now and then. India is accusing BD of terrorism on many occasions and when BD tries to have defence ties with other countries here comes the Indian argument of "if BD gone to anti India elements, BD will have repercussion of far greater implications".


Coming to his points and linking these with "India obsession" then i will say that he is confused and wrong 200% because

1. Corruption in Pakistan has NOTHING to with any India obsession.

2. Our judicial system has nothing to do with India obsession.

3. Our economic issues have nothing to with India obsession.

4. If Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan are shifting manufacturing units to BD then it has absolutely NOTHING to with love for India by BD rather it has more to do with cheap outsourcing

5. whether Pakistanis send remittances to own country or not what it has to do with obsession with India???????

6. Tax evasion in Pakistan: how does it linked to any obsession with India by us ???


:what:


So now last but not the least the Mods should immediately warn all those posters who posts things without a link or credit line of the source from where it has been copied and posted
 
the real question is .. " Can indians change their Hate Pakistan Mindset " ... ???
