Growing and Strong Bangladesh threatens India in long term

[TheRafael00000]

I really don't see how...

India is already far far larger economically and militarily compared to BD and this gap will only increase in the long term (especially the latter).

Not to mention India is unlikely to let its stranglehold on the BD leadership go anytime soon.

You will be a minority soon in 2050. So it does't matter at all. What is necessary to cope with you next 30 yrs and keep the balance in favor.

India didn't free us! Moron.

as we remember a place called dhaka was under indian army control at 16 dec 1971.

did u check that 2013 figure also adjusted ?

The whole IMF database is predicted wrong, even the official data which has been release by the respective Countries and WB are not matching with what IMF released figures.

For Best Example.,
Report for Selected Countries and Subjects

China GDP for 2013 should be USD 9+ Trillion, but IMF showing USD 6.9 Trillion
China | Data

Don't trust IMF site, the current actual GDP of Bangladesh lies between $129Billion and $145Billion
Bangladesh | Data

Your link shows China's per capita income, not GDP. IMF and World Bank shows almost same GDP figure for China, $9.469 trillion (IMF) and $9.240 trillion (WB).

As for the differences in the GDP figures of Bangladesh, the reason is IMF has updated its database in this October which reflects the change in base for Bangladesh (from 1994-95 to 2005-06) while World Bank is yet to update it. However, I agree, IMF's prediction is not always accurate, especially for Bangladesh where the predictions are always underestimated, I'm guessing the GDP of Bangladesh should be little over $200 billion by the end of this year.

buddy first figure the difference between per capita and GDP lol

Unless there is compelling evidence that the government is lying or incompetent, then IMF/World Bank use national statistics for GDP.

BD GDP will surpass 200 billion dollars easily by next year.

Imperial BD can surpass Japan by 2020 ... who knows...

@farhan_9909 :

Great piece of work there!

I would say that BD defence spending will be no more than 20 billion dollars by 2030. The reason is that BD people are not very militaristic and place the wellbeing of the general population over having a very powerful military. While BD will build up its military by 2030 to be able to provide a credible deterrent to India, it is unlikely to spend so much that it would be able to think of aircraft carriers.

A strong Pakistan and BD will be a great balance for the hegemonistic aspirations of India in South Asia.

What on earth are you talking about dude?

By 2040 yes. But our target is to keep India at bay not Japan. Japanese are good civilized people.

lol... by 2040???? you can't surpass Japan by 2100... at bay????? puny BD is our vassal state ...

India had been ruled by Bangladeshis for thousands of years and will in the future insallah.

That's right, these institutions always depend on the national statistical bureaus of the respective countries for their database, having their own statistical activities in each member states would be quite inconvenient.

GDP will be well over $200 billion in 2015.

What shame is there in two nations using each other?

BD uses China to eliminate Indian meddling and China uses BD to bog down India in South Asia.

BD economy is 187 billion dollars according to IMF and predicted to be in excess of 300 billion dollars by 2019. Not only would the defence budget be greater due to a larger GDP, but also since poverty has declined massively, a greater proportion of BD GDP can be devoted to defence than ever before. I would personally like a gradual rincrease of the defence expenditure as proportion of GDP to rise from the current 2% to 3% by 2025. This would not harm the welfare of the poor, or the general economy, in BD and would also allow BD to create very capable military forces.

Indian meddling must be eliminated as soon as possible.



Don't look at out of date data.

According to IMF, BD GDP is now 187 billion dollars.

ok fine $187B...will that change the scenario.....

India had been ruled by Bangladeshis for thousands of years and will in the future insallah.

funniest comment I ever heard.....

 

[Mercenary]

Bangladesh's economy will grow but is it growing due to economic progress, reforms, investment in infrastucture, attracting foreign investment and capital and a growing trade surplus?

Or is it growing because the population is growing and increasing number of remittances send by overseas Bangladeshis working in India and middle east?
