Dhaka more expensive than many South Asian cities: EIU

[24 Hours]

Its just a specific trolling to that guy that thinks single-ethnic nonsense (as though that can even be really defined well in the first place) is the be all end all.

Charlemagne did his part to unite the german tribes in the dark ages....and it held on for quite some time...but it just as quickly fractured into 100s of pieces...the most terrible wars imaginable were fought among them, either alone or as part of grander continental wars. These were all German speakers (to fit this guys of "language" being some marker of single ethnic blah blah)...too...and their were also long periods of unity, development and outside power projection too in between. Its just one example of a pretty powerful relevant "single ethnic" country's history....being of single ethnic composition is no guarantee for stable political union, neither is it some statistically significant likelihood compared to "multi-ethnic" states....and you rightly point out, erm at some level we can further create resolutions among single ethnic populations so they end up being multi-ethnic....there is no concrete definition here, and so the debate where to draw the magical line is quite something else too.

This forum has its issues, too much trolling occurs here.

I don't remember the full details of this part, it's been awhile since my European history course. Did they not suffer from tribalism? Though there's no definite marker for ethnicity BD's government is satisfied with who it declares as Bengali and such. Regardless, while BD certainly has a polarized system with political parties at each other's throats, none of them are looking towards breaking up the country or creating a different state. Just a change in government, nothing further.

It would make more sense to compare Kolkata with its regional sister cities like Guwahati, Agartala etc.
@Homo Sapiens

Kolkata is a city which was not even eligible to host a single tournament match in 2011 world cup cricket.Although India was one of the host.In that world cup Dhaka inaugurated the world cup match.I have seen many dadababus were crying in that time pointing these facts.

Funny in this thread Bang bang deshis are comparing their entire Bang bang desh with a single indian city Kolkotta LMAO Kolkotta is not even a province or state.

Yeah, Let's quote wiki and Indian govt. stats and prove the Indian cities to be even more developed than Coruscant.

Bangladeshi cities are no where near since obviously we don't have any toi-lets.

Yea even without toilets this never happens in indian streets that the Supa Powa Bang bang deshs capital shows.

Homo Sapiens bhai, I'm interested to know the reasons behind this. AFAIK Eden Garden is one of the most iconic cricket grounds in the world. Why wasn't it allowed to host a single match in 2011 WC

Eden garden may be iconic and has a glorious past but it is venue sitting in a city which is no longer have any standing within India.Eden garden was build and enjoyed it's importance when Kolkata used to be the center of British India.But after Indian independence when real Indian took over, Kolkata and wider West Bengal progressively marginalized and now it is a worthless periphery within India.World cup match are limited and so many Indian cities were vying for a match. Naturally more important and real Indian cities in the north and west got most of the match because they are the boss. 1-2 match were thrown to the South Indians to keep more worthy servants happy.The fate of Kolkata as well as Indian Bengalis are like Goat's 3rd calf(ছাগলের তিন নম্বর বাচ্চা).

Hmm interesting. Looks like it's high time for west bengal to join with Bangladesh and help us to form a greater bangla.

@Nilgiri why you are wasting your time here. You can make people understand who wants to understand.
Comparing Kolkata economically, they don't even know that there more than 10 companies headquartered in Kolkata whose revenues are more than the biggest Bangladeshi company.

@Homo Sapiens, Eden is still the seat of cricket in India. You are filled with lot of hatred and bubbling nonsense.
2011 world cup couldn't be hosted because mis managent of CAB, it couldn't complete the renovation on time. As a result In January 2011 the ICC declared the Eden Gardens ground in Kolkata, India, to be unfit and unlikely to be complete by 27 February, when it was scheduled to host a match between India and England as well as a semifinal/quater final. Though some minor matches were played where capacity was pegged at 10k. But keep in mind Eden hosted 1987 world cup final and 216 ICC World T20 final.

Between most of the fruit sellers in my locality in Kolkata and most of the waiters in UK are Bangladeshis. Just saying.

Give what up ? You were the one claiming 2018 opening for Dhaka metro. Ask your compatriots on skyscraper City forum about pace of construction...

And you were the one claiming 6 lines by 2035, even ahead of Kolkata...

Of course you have many lenders but it's you who would build it. And so you have 20 km for $3 billion...

No, I said that part of the first Metro line will start operation in 2019 and in full service by 2020. Construction started in 2017. Metro scheduled is being adhered to.
As well as Metro, Dhaka will also have 2 Bus Rapid Transport routes, 7 new massive flyovers and 3 outer ring roads to give Dhaka one of the best transport infrastructure around. The whole project has been costed at 40 billion US dollars, with the bulk coming from the 2 billion dollar a year soft loans that Japan's JICA provides every year to BD. Rest of the money will mainly come from BD government.
Kolkata cannot compete with Dhaka as it is a backwater city in India, but Dhaka is the capita of BD and so no expense will be spared to turn it into a clean modern city.

Are you Bengali?

Yes

 

[Homo Sapiens]

Yes

Then accept my sympathy.Hope one day, you guys will be able to walk with your head high.

Which part ? This is I asked you to post a single pic of a completed pier.

What does a completed pier have to do with a partial in-service date that could be 18 months in the future?

Speaking of cricket, i do like the nagin dance they did after winning

And then

In 2035. That's 17 years away, and rest of South Asian cities have progressed further.

Kolkata cannot compete with Dhaka as it is a backwater city in India

A backwater city in India(Which Kolkata is not) will have more resources than Dhaka given India's finances (read tax/budget expenditure to GDP). Let's not forget many Indian tier 2 cities have built infra which Dhaka still don't have.

Anyway what do you have to say about Kolkata GDP being higher ?

It would be interesting to note that Kolkata would have same metro route length Dhaka will have by 2035 in 2021 !!!

But Kolkata 'can't compete'.

What does a completed pier have to do with a partial in-service date that could be 18 months in the future?

Because the train have to run over a viaduct, which in turn is built over a pier ?
