Flying Into Dhaka- First Impressions of Bangladesh

[Arefin007]

Agree that Singapore is the city which should be used as a benchmark, has added more green wooded areas in the city along with more high rise apts blocks. About 60% of the city is green wooded area...

Lahore is green and clean too , some areas are very green like Delhi planned areas, and has a proper garbage disposal system and solid waste management system.

Lahore looks really nice

And who paid back the largest share of the World Bank loans back during the 1960s?
US aid was meant for the whole of Pakistan and not just the West.

Awesome own goal!

@Doyalbaba

I did not know, world bank hand out charity money to its favorite clients.

US aid was mostly defence related.US is certainly not that dumb to hand out huge some of money, so that a military dictator can joy ride in his fancy dream of creating a fabulous city in a deserted place.

Dacca Bangladesh...

These and earlier posted pictures pretty much debunks the myth and rebukes the wrong portrayal of Dacca by the thread starter and the two videos by the back packer Gora...

Dacca is an emerging, vibrant, cosmopolitan city and the architecture actually of mid to low rise buildings are very modern, minimal, and vernacular.

does is justify your lack of development?
btw why don't you open a thread about Pakistan we will discuss ours without losing temper unlike you.
one thing is clear you guys acting like an ostrich . at least Indians are realistic enough to accept ills of their country but guys seem living on moon.


hehehe great so after today we can taunt indians that Mughals in fact were after 51% Gdp of dhaka and not looting indians.

I didn't say that. But if you can prove me wrong... please do so.

I believe an Indian economist who is pushing for reparation for British colonial rule said for each pound British empire pays back to India people of bengal has 68 pence of stake in it.

The wealthiest province of the Mughal Empire was Bengal Subah, which generated 50% of the empire's GDP and 12% of the world's GDP,[50] globally dominant in industries such as textile manufacturingand shipbuilding.[51][52][53] Bengal's capital city Dhakawas the empire's financial capital, with a population exceeding a million people, and an exporter of silkand cotton textiles, steel, saltpeter, and agriculturaland industrial produce.[50]

T123456 is right. You could see that the people in BD were very interested and polite to the guy. This is what really matters.
Furthermore, I am very surprised that Dhaka wasn't that much crowded, in fact, it looked less crowded than any Indian city. Why? I'm positively surprised. Another thing that I have noticed from different vids on YT is that Dhaka seems to be a very green city, you could almost see trees in every single street. This is nice.

Comparative performance: Pakistan vs Bangladesh

In spite of limited resources many institution were established in both wings of Pakistan (East & West). Those institutions are still there and working under the respective Governments of Bangladesh and of Pakistan. Can we compare and evaluate their current performance and ranking and their international recognition etc. It will help to evaluate the comparative performance of both Pakistan and Bangladesh.

· Cadet college Hasan Abdal (1954) vs Faujdarhat Cadet College Chittagong (1954)

· Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission Dhaka(1964) vs Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission Ibd (1964)

· Institute of Business Administration(IBA) Dhaka (1966 ) vs Institute of Business Administration(IBA) Karachi (1955)

· University of Engineering & Technology Lahore (1962) vs University of Engineering & Technology Dhaka (1964)

· Bangladesh Agricultural University (1961) vs Faisalabad Agricultural university (1961)

· University of Karachi (1953) vs University of Rajshahi (1953)

· Pakistan television (1964) vs Bangla Television (1964)

Dreadful.

@Hasan89
Now those are some very ungentlemanly comments. Post reported.

Report feature is more or less broken nowadays unfortunately my friend.

From that video it seems BD is good at not only ruining its own visit, but subsequent visit to other countries lol. Here let us just take that hand luggage from you for no apparent reason lol (I mean like you do know the whole point of hand luggage is right???...its stuff you dont want to check in lol). Romania = Russia etc etc lol... these are supposed to be their elites too, remember that. Just awful.

STARBOX made me lol though....good "creativity" at least.

Anyways I'm going to sub to this dude, his content is honest....I like that....and seems somewhat experienced traveler.

LOL

Check out their airport!

Forgot to say, good find sakra! and thanks

@Hasan89 If you are so thick skinned why not just ignore her harmless banter,,,,,you see both Indian and Pakistani folks have a common problem, Illegal immigrants from Bangla, if your countrymen wish to apply for asylum the legal way, then no problem we will look at each and every application on it's merits, however when it comes to breaking the law, illegals must be and will be dealt with most sternly.

@Śakra Go easy on them, too many sensitive souls.Kudos

Forgot to add that hasan or whatever is just the "rage" alt-account of the multi-account/multi-identity BD person (he has few pak flag and ind flag accounts too) that has 20 or so different ego/emo accounts here. @LA se Karachi knows this as do few others.

Pakistan has Achieved things which Bangladesh can only dream . For starters it can be as simple as having a decent cricket team

Which cricket team?
The one which is filled with corruption!

Is that what 30 million bangalans cried?

That red circle in green looks more like a bloody raped saree............

You certainly are a virgin.
There is a red HOLE in the green part.

 

[Śakra]

Isn't its true that Bangladesh is the biggest country in the world by population never to win on olympic medal ? They have yet to learn to play any sport like Cricket , Football , Hockey , Snooker etc . I suppose Pakistan is responsible for all that or maybe 1971 ?

Thats because bengledash had 24 years less than pakistan!!!! In 15 years bengledash will have the most olympic medals in the world because they are monoethnic country.
