Flying Into Dhaka- First Impressions of Bangladesh

[Michael Corleone]

51% of Mughal GDP was from Dhaka. It was a rich multicultural centre. Until British came and fucked it up. It even had embankments and roads for kings to use... all destroyed by British. Anyone familiar with history of Dhaka will not degrade it at all.

Pakistan is a great example of development in that case I suppose?

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

He lives in a utopia . He keeps on repeating things like 7 % growth rate of Bangladesh but when you look at their cities , infrastructure it reminds you of Africa .

BD has had 24 years less to develop than Pakistan.
No one is losing temper here - that is your perception.
We like to say some home truths to certain Pakistani posters
when they dare try to claim any superiority over BD.

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 ?

And who paid back the largest share of the World Bank loans back during the 1960s?

They were paid by the state, if East Pakistan contributed to the budget which then went to paying back World Bank loans then it is a massive stretch to claim that Islamabad was built with Bangladesh money.

US aid was meant for the whole of Pakistan and not just the West.

No, US aid didn't come with any conditions.

Its up to the government how the state distributes it, and it was decided that development of the capital city is more important than development of Dhaka.

A state should act in the interest of the whole country and not along ethnic lines.
Goodbye.

lolzzx if so why you are comparing your country with Pakistan??
why don't you compare your super developed country with the US.
why don't you post few good pics of dhaka?
sorry to say if this is what dhaka looks like the one in video it is not even on a par with the suruban villages of my small city.

Those loot fueled many project even after separation.One such project was Tarbela dam.Whose finance was secured during 1960s and completed after 1971.Bangladesh accepted half of pre-1971 foreign debt but Pakistan didn't gave any undivided asset as per stipulation.That means, half of the cost of Tarbela dam was bore by Bangladesh.In 1971,a group of economist calculated that West Pakistan looted 2,600 million pound starling during the period of 1947-1971 by various method from East Bengal.Now imagine the value of than 2,600 million pound in current exchange rate.Those looted money done a lot of work even after 1971.Showpiece Islamabad project was not escaped from that momentum either.

thats what I am saying, where is the money that Pakistan used to loot for 24 years is being spent now in bangladesh for last 47 years. You had twice time, unless Pakistan had a technology to loot your future money, Bangladesh should have 2 cities like Islamabad, not Dhaka in current bismel state. British looted India for 100s of years, India did not Pay Pakistan any of her share at the partition but you will never hear Pakistani say Mumbai was built of Pakistan's stolen money. You are now your own man, show it to the world that you were better than us and thats why you parted ways. by the way Islamabd in 71 was just one street and some office buildings

I suggest you Google some pictures and videos of Dhaka
to get a true picture.
This is showing just a small part of Dhaka.

Second impression of Dacca, Bangladesh...a more lasting one.

Dacca is actually a very nice city, if you look into the finer details of it...if one has the eye for details, I specially like the low rise Architecture of buildings with fair face concrete and lots of greenery...

Also don't fall prey to any first impression by a prejudiced gora or the thread starter @Sakra

Yes because building the capital city is not in the interest of the country.

Please learn some history of united Pakistan before writing posts like this.
The window of opportunity for BD to develop using Jute was in 1950s and 1960s
as the price of that commodity was high then. It collapsed in the mid 1960s due to
The widespread use of plastic bags.
After 1971, BD had to start from scratch as what little was developed before got destroyed
by the civil war.

PS - Currently BD GDP/capita is growing twice as fast as Pakistan, so there is proof what
an independent BD is capable of.
