And you got independence through begging!

If that was begging then I dnt know what you will call independence of BD
I dnt want to use that word here..... You can watch it in a recent Bollywood movie based of BD independence, even movie title will help you to find answer.

Talk to the company name KUKA in germany and they will setup your auto making plant stem to stern. You can make cars but you cant make Toyota or Benz. Get educated Indians. Bangladesh or any other tom and dick can setup a auto plant if you had a vrigin market for 1 billion people and who will buy anything if it is brought to them cheap.

dada, get hold of urself.....are u not satisfied by the BD market ???
or should we lend our virgin markets to ur balaatkaari companies.???
sorry, but rite now, its our balaatkaari companies and ur experienced markets....deal with it

Passenger Railways are not a critical transport sector in Bangladesh. Low tech Indian locos are okay I guess if they keep running, problems notwithstanding...

Only "Low-tech" Indian locos can take this kind of abuse in "Hi-tech" Bangladesh and still keep running.

^^There is a train underneath these people!!

And what did you say? Bangladeshis only use US, German, & Japanese products? Just show the Americans, Germans, & Japanese these pictures and see how they run away from your non-existing hi-tech metro rail project.

Generally I don't do this to Bangladeshis, but you were talking way beyond your means.

Peace.

The perfect example of an old Indian saying "Angoor Khatte Hain" (Grapes Are Sour).
You Bangladeshi simply can't afford the world class system like Delhi metro MTRS.

Appreciate your love for your country but these are not Indian locos, they are actually Hyundai Rotems.

Are they asking for Bheekh or anything else? Look their hands.

I could post all sorts of 'lota action' pictures from India but I am not going to stoop so low - I still have some scruples left. These pictures you posted are from the Global Iztema held every year in Tongi near Dhaka. The govt. should do something about carrying these people back to their destinations and inserting some order to the process. It is heavily disorganized as seen. But I don't think we should be buying more unreliable DLW locos to solve the problem...it would be akin to stepping into deeper quicksand.

Why do Indians generally have a hard time believing that they have a reputation issue with their products and their businessmen in the whole world, not just Bangladesh?

Go ask anyone that has tried to do business with India. I'm not talking about the Tatas, Reliance Group etc. Talking about medium scale business-people and lower in India. Even good-sized business houses like Cadbury, Titan and Parachute which do plenty of business in Bangladesh. This is well known not just in Bangladeshi circles, everyone in Asia generally and especially China knows about it. The Chinese are of course very leery about conducting any business with Indian business-people. Thankfully they know that Bangladeshis are not like Indians - their word is as good as money in the pocket.

'High Quality' and 'Reliable' simply cannot be mentioned in the same breath when one talks about the majority of Indian products or businessmen. 'Gandha/Sastē māl' and 'Thakbaaz' is more like it. Believe me - I've met lots of smaller and mid-sized business-people from India. Mentality is more or less the same.

This has affected me negatively as well when I went around Asia with business propositions and such - until I cleared the air about the fact that I was not from India although I looked North Indian. Sad....

No - until the last decade you guys rode around in the likes of Ambassadors, 800cc Marutis. Talking about world-class simply was not in Indian vocabulary. Thank your IT slaves slaving away in call centers and in menial IT consulting jobs in US and Europe. All of a sudden India became world class.

Until late 90's most Indians could not afford a proper car - most families rode around in scooters. Oh how soon we forget and how convenient it is to pull the wool over everyone's eyes in a new generation.

Try to sell somebody in Bangladesh an India-made car. You have no clue.

Also - I think generally there is some misconception that Bangladesh needs to be manufacture technically advanced items in order to have parity as an economy with India.

Bangladesh is smaller than a lot of Indian states. The economies of scale needed to manufacture engineering goods is simply not present. Bangladesh will not manufacture (or design) moped engines locally for example if such a product is more expensive than Chinese products.

Ours has always been an open economy and we relied on imported products (mainly Chinese in the last couple of decades but more European and Japanese). However we always had access to world-class products unlike Indians where a few Nehru compatriots (like Bajaaj) dominated the license-raj in India and fed the Indian population sub-standard products at inflated prices. This is why Indian products will take a long time (unlike Chinese products) to be competitive in world markets.

The 'Bheekh Mangey' is actually 'Haat-Jor Karna' action. This is coupled with 'side-bobbing head' action often seen performed by Indians themselves.

Bit rich coming from a Bangladeshi?

A grand total of roughly 3000 new cars sold in Bangladesh every year. For comparison in 2013, Audi sold 10000 new cars in India ,Mercedez sold 9000 new cars, BMW sold 8000 new cars and VW some 90,000. I haven't even mentioned the Japanese companies yet, so go on tell us more about the Bangladeshi second hand 90's Jap imports and how affluent they make you feel.

You get one nice new airport building in all of Delhi and you think 'India has become First World'. I guess we haven't traveled much. Please refer to the list in the link below where IGI is ranked as Number 59 out of 100 top airports.

The World's Top 100 Airports in 2014

By the way there are plenty of newer buildings in Dhaka which look like this. If we built a new airport I'm sure it'd look like this. But the airport of a capital region for 1.2 Billion people should rank in the first ten at least (and not a pathetic number 59).

And about fainting if we were Indians we would faint but I guess we are not easily impressed like Indians who have seen crap buildings around them for most of their lives. You guys need to get out more. Don't have to go far. Just go to Bangkok. They have built two new airports a couple of decades apart which look far better than this. Use Google at least which you lot seem to be very good at.

No there isn't. Second tier cities in India have better airports than the one in Dhaka.
