Frustrated and jealous of India. Oh puh-leaase! Gimme a frickin' break!! Nobody is belittling anything - these are everyday facts.
I'm thankfully a rather informed moderate Bangladeshi when it comes to balanced impressions about India. Go ask an avg. Bangladeshi on any street in any city in Bangladesh about 'Indian technology' and see what their disdainful impression is. It won't be positive to say the least. They're very familiar with your products and infrastructure. Most of them have been to India anyways and know your failings like the back of their hand. The point is mere Bhartiya chest-thumping on one-off projects won't change Bangladeshi minds when the actual record on average is this bad.
I suggest you cool down and observe a few facts which are as clear as day to those of us in Bangladesh. Why do you think Hasina hasn't tried giving contract work to Indian firms rather than China on _any_ project in Bangladesh. Because,
a. She'll be labeled as an Indian 'dalal' (the worst moniker one can give anyone in Bangladesh which even AWAMI League-rs are scared of - it is political suicide), and,
b. She knows very well that Indian firms (even DMRC) won't be financially competitive with Chinese firms.
Unlike India - the Chinese have been making rolling stock (from design level), infrastructure, signalling systems for decades on end and their costs are therefore way lower than Indian costs. This is fact - not mere banter. Their Indigenization level (designing and sourcing parts locally and independently without dependence on foreign sources) goes far deeper and way better than India on this sort of technology. India just got into the game a few years ago on the Urban Rapid transit business. Why is this so hard to understand? Making third rate locos at CLW and DLW doesn't count because these stagnant union-infested PSU's don't produce anything of value when it comes to a modern MRTS or urban rapid transit system.
Moving people around efficiently within a city does not even remotely compare as achievement when it comes to eradicating poverty and giving people actual jobs. If people are,
- starving and malnourished,
- can't go relieve themselves because of a lack of proper facilities,
- feeding themselves stagnant water,
- not educated enough and therefore are used to killing their female phoetuses because of societal norms,
- used to raping women trying to relieve themselves after dark so women are only tinkling twice a day (!),
then hiding behind 'showcase' projects like these are mere 'polish' on rusted metal underneath. The priorities are so misplaced its not even funny.
You know - Amartya Sen was a great guy who saw through all this BS and saw where Bangladesh was going vs. India. You guys decided not to pay heed. Too bad.
Where is the four-zone super highway that was supposed to criss-cross India? Where are the ports?
Instead the money went to showcase projects like Nuclear submarines, Mars missions, Aircraft Carriers and nuclear missiles. And on a smaller scale a few airports and Metros to placate the gandoo majority who don't know any better. Are these going to feed people or give them a better standard of life? The only thing these 'showcase' projects do is line the pockets of politicians and defense officials. No accountability, no limits on the amount of 'chori'.
You call me an internet warrior. But I'm just a conscious citizen. In Bangladesh people don't put up with the level of BullSH*T they put up with in India - that's all.
With this level of mismanagement - nobody in Bangladesh trusts Indian 'technology'.
