Growing and Strong Bangladesh threatens India in long term

[Joeblow]

Getting under a nuclear shield wouldn't be hard but having a strong alliance and acquiring ToT for the bomb as well as the delivery systems is very much possible, all we need is a prudent and shrewd leader.

No, either option would be next to impossible. The only countries that are not part of the NPT are India, Israel and Pakistan. Obviously, India and Israel aren't going to supply you with nukes so that leaves Pakistan. Could be a good option if Pakistan decides to forget about it's interests and do it just to irritate India. The economic consequences to them from the inevitable sanctions that will follow might make it a pretty hard for them to go down that path. I mean, who in their right mind would choose to destroy their economy for another country.

You have missed another non-signatory country, North Korea, who announced their withdrawal from NPT in 2003. North Korea is believed to have supplied the ToT to several NPT signatory countries, most notably Iran and also Myanmar.

Strong bangladesh might end up absorbing the north-east of India followed by the west bengal.

Bengali People on either side are blood brothers,seperating them is like fighting against the nature.

 

[tntcfive]

So you want to backstabbed? Why not stab yourself?

Thats why it dosent make sense.

bgb sent to India to learn the art of backstabbing.
then tell me why on earth they go to India or more specific to bsf to learn fighting. what bgb rather bdr can do we witnessed in 2001 border conflict. u can't challenge openly that's why u ur backstabbing skill to create bdr mutiny and moreover ur I'll influence to destroy bdr.

very poorly written article...

similar risk exists with punjabis and kashmiris .. but I dont think we need to lose our sleep over it yet.
We give lakhs of visa to bangladeshis... they can visit whoever they want.

I didn't forget them. Neither of the countries they've supplied the technology to, has been able to successfully test anything. Even their own tests have been yielded less than 10 KT. So I assumed BD would be looking for something that they know works since the economic sanctions that follow are going to be pretty punishing. But good point, there is always North Korea.

Well, according to many observers, Iran has already achieved the capability, and also some estimates the yield of North Korean tests at 40KT, disputed nevertheless.

About sanctions, they all depends on the geopolitics my friend, some are even predicting strong alliance between US and Iran in future after the rise of ISIS. Besides, we are about to witness a multi-polar world with two or more super powers in near future, that makes it easier to get away with the sanctions.

Once China rises and balances the West, then the chance for countries like BD to develop nuclear weapons will grow many folds.

I think that BD should not aim for a proper nuclear program for at least 10-15 years. By the end of this time, then China should have risen to become an alternative pole to the West, and the BD air-force and military should be in a position to defend the BD nuclear program from India strikes.

And who are you to question our integrity and sovreignity?
Did you actually think Kashmiris are eager for independence?
They are first one that give info about insurgents presence Kashmir during 1990's and also in Kargil .They also destroyed Pak effort for their freedom in 1965.
What did you know about it?

Mr ,,,, Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and they are running on our taxpaying money.with a huge subsidy .Did you actually think they are interested in destroy all of that ?

About NE Indians.It is dead crow now.And legends like Mary Kom are proving their patriotism by giving us a lot of medals.


What about the flow of refugees from Bangladesh to India during 1971?About 10 million had flowed and stayed in
India under our expense and protection.When that began to pressurize our economy we have no choice but to interfere in that war.They started operation only after OperationChenghis Khan.
Your citizens now have life to question us and polevaulting in to India because of our interference .Otherwise West Pakistan might create another genocide history.
You gave us reward by helping ULFA elements .
Look at the link posted b an Indian above.
It is a reality.We Keralites known it very well.Because of that illegal lungis our Indian brothersfrom NI is now staring lost of opportunity in our state

Fortunately your leaders are sane and they know our alertness about our national security.
If want we can create nice future or bad future for BD.

If someone from BD try to question our integrity we dont need to mobilize our Armed forces.One week of cordonning off that border.Then job will done.

India is here for the prosperity of our Indians not for completeing demands of some puny neighbours around us.

We dont give a shit about your future generations.
We can move forward even if there is no relation with BD.
You should remember that for good.

OK, when will India have a referendum in Kashmir to see whether they really want independence or not?

Indians know that Kashmiris will vote to leave and so will not hold a referendum.

Once displace Kashmiri Hindus are returned Bangla babua.

BD and Pakistan can divide India over. Bangladesh can have prized north east and south east India
Pakistan will have north India.
China can divide remaining territory for cheap labor

Lolz....if it was so easy...I m sure pkistan,china and bangladesh would have already executed magnificent plan.

But if u like it not India is here to stay.Make peace while you can.

Better utilize it to find ways in which all countries involved prosper and become strong

Im sorry the extent of your research is google! Dude the thread is all about the IMF stat on BDs GDP at current prices and yearly predictions to 2019. Just click on the link.

BD has been growing at a steady pace for the past decades and its expected to rapidly accelerate as it starts to industrialise, and people move from rural areas to urban areas.

More importantly as the GDP grows so will the overall defence budget. The problem historically was that we only spent 1.2% to 1.6% of our GDP on defence, yet we had a standing army of over 200,000. So when the economy was below $140bn the defence budget was under $2.2bn, not enough to buy proper heavy equipment but just light defensive stuff and salaries.

Now that the economy is growing rapidly, in the next 5 years our defence budget will exceed $6bn almost triple current. What this will mean well be able to afford greater offensive equipment like tanks, frigates, subs, and fighters.

What I can see is that the link gives rates and not the GDP. But that's ok, no matter what the base,at 6 to 7 % you should be doubling every 8 or 9 years (adjusting for some ups and downs). When you become a $230 B economy, you can choose to spend 6 or 7 B but generally unadvisable. Ask pak, their defence expenditure is in that range considered burdensome. And at that level, though you would have grown, your per-capita will still be very low (some $1200 per head- your pop is just a tad lower to Pak's right?). Your focus should be to take it to 2000 or 3000 in the next 10 years. This 'superpower' and stuff, you can think of later.

Can I give you my address? I REALLY need some of that crack your smoking . BTW the huge historic implication of their growth is that they are headed to be a bigger economy than yours (perpetually in the doldrums). There will be complete historic justification for separation.
