Hasina's Delhi tour postponed

wonder how the sales pitch to sell items like the LCA to Bangladesh will work out when Indian Navy itself has rejected the LCA as 'too heavy'.

You didn't exactly read the report, did you? He was talking about the Naval LCA Mk1 which is obviously 700 kg heavier than the land based version. Why would we ever offer a carrier capable aircraft to Bangladesh?

The Navy knew for a long time that LCA in it's present form cannot fulfill their requirement that's why they proposed a version powered by GE F414. That's how the Mk2 project came into existence.

We should be comparing India to China - as sizes and economies are similar. But does that comparison end positively? Most Indian posters here avoid this subject like the plague. It really does not matter much, the fortunes of countries wax and wane in time.

If I am not mistaken, this is the Bangladesh defense forum, where the forumers think that they're better than India in every possible way. And you yourself agree with the fact that your country was ahead in per capita income before being overtaken by us.

Having double the PPP per capita income of some country is irrelevant if that income only goes to the top 5% of the populace

Is there any proof for that 5% allegation? India's median income is still far higher than Bangladesh, poverty rates still lower.

"Something must have gone terribly wrong in the last six decades of Indian democracy, for our record in the social sector-be it healthcare, education or gender justice-is dismal; we are even worse than Bangladesh in living standards."

I obviously knew that you were going to quote these two frustrated leftist economists, (frustrated because they know that they're not going to return to prominence) but even according to the composite index they have developed- HDI, India is ahead of Bangladesh & ranked as medium human development. Bangladesh doesn't do better except being marginally better in healthcare. I think @Nilgiri has made several posts on this in this forum.

You do not have to bring in BD, an LDC country, for a comparison of accomplishment of India. It is too cheap when you did not talk only about the Indian development on its own merit.

In this case, it was a Bangladeshi member who started such comparisons so a comparison with your country is much relevant.

and not one uselessly armed to one's teeth for no reason other than your politicians' benefit

Well we have two nuclear armed expansionist regimes- a theocracy & communist nation as our neighbors, don't we? As a citizen of India I think the defense expenditure is quite low (1.8% of GDP) for the proposed modernization. And it is dwindling year by year.

Well talking about arming to the teeth, both Bangladesh & India spends some 6.3% of their annual expenditures for defense. If you still find our defense budget to be high, you can blame our higher tax to GDP ratio.

however the record of Bangladesh in healthcare, education or gender justice speak for themselves. If you count those as the yardstick of being a civilized economy

Well India has a higher HDI score and it is improving faster than Bangladesh. If you count that as a yardstick for a civilized economy.

And even in those healthcare indicators where you do marginally better, India is catching up fast and would overtake you probably before the end of this decade. And I don't think you are going to catch up with us in education either.

Can you say what important consumer goods you guys are producing? Check also how many million dollars worth of consumer goods you are importing from China?

Google it.

Are these countries boasting about Mars mission?

Do these countries earn more than $300 million an year by marketing space based services? Do they save billions by building & launching satellites for themselves? Do they save millions by depending on their own constellations for everything from TV transponders to crop output forecast & disaster management ?

If not, there is no point in your argument. Anyway if you didn't knew, the Indonesians are developing their first space launcher.

Life expectancy at birth
Bangladesh: 72 years
India: 68 years

Poverty headcount ratio at $1.90 a day

Don't confuse the history of your country with ours. God knows how much of west Pakistani genes survive due to the after effects of the rape campaign of 1971.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL POVERTY INDEX 2016

2 June 2016

HIGHLIGHTS ~ SOUTH ASIA

In 2016 we have poverty estimations for seven South Asian countries, and subnational data for 84 regions, covering 94% of the population in South Asia.

We are releasing new MPI estimations using DHS data for Bangladesh (2014) and MICS data for Nepal (2014).

Afghanistan is the poorest country in South Asia, with 66% of people being multidimensionally poor using 2010/11 data;

India (2005/6) was the next poorest with 54%, followed by

Bangladesh (2014) with 41%,

Pakistan (2012/13) at 44%,

Nepal (2014) at 29%,

Bhutan (2010) at 27%, and

Sri Lanka and the Maldives at 5%.

These tend to be higher than the $1.90/day rates, which are 21% for South Asia as a whole.

In Winter 2015/16 we also estimated and released Bangladesh’s Global MPI using the 2012/13 MICS dataset.

The distinctive feature of that dataset was that it permitted us to decompose MPI to the district level, rather than division, so subnational data was available for 64 regions, giving an even more fine-grained view of poverty.

For example, we can see a great deal of variation within the divisions that was previously not visible.

For the first time we release destitution results all South Asian countries including Bhutan and Maldives.

Our measure of destitution identifies a subset of poor people as destitute if they experience extreme deprivations like severe malnutrition, losing two children, having all primary-aged school children out of school, and using open defecation.

In Afghanistan 38% of people are destitute. But interestingly Bangladesh has much lower rate of destitution than Pakistan (12% vs 20% of the populations are destitute), despite having relatively similar headcount ratios, showing that Bangladesh has alleviated the worst forms of deprivations.

Country Year MPI % MPI poor (H) Intensity of MPI (A) % Destitute

Country Year MPI % MPI Intensity of MPI(A) Destitute

Poor (H)



Maldives 2009. 0.018 5.2 35.6 1.5


Bhutan- 2010. 0.119 27.2 43.9 8.3



Nepal- 2014. 0.126 28.6 44.2 10.8



Bangladesh- 2014. 0.196 41.3 47.4 11.6



Pakistan- 2012/13. 0.230 44.2 52.1 20.7



India- 2005/06. 0.283 53.7 52.7 28.5



Afghanistan- 2010/11 0.353 66.2 53.4 37.7


Across our 8 South Asian countries we find that poverty remains higher in rural areas.

For example, in Nepal, only 7% of urban dwellers are poor but 33% in rural areas.

In Afghanistan, 39% of urban dwellers are poor, but 72% of rural inhabitants. Hence rural areas remain the priority for MPI reduction.

Nepal had stellar performance reducing poverty incidence 2006-2011 from 64% to 44%.

The MPI estimations using this survey, by MICS, are not comparable to the others and we cannot yet say definitely what the comparable rates would be.

However it does seem the Nepal may have halved its MPI in less than 10 years which would be a wonderful accomplishment

We decompose India, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan by subnational regions.

The poorest region in South Asia is Bihar, followed by ‘South’ Afghanistan.

The poorest 15 subnational regions in South Asia are all in India or Afghanistan, plus one region (Baluchistan) of Pakistan.

As a region, South Asia’s MPI is dominated by India, whose data are out of date. We are looking to release new estimations using India’s NFHS-IV when the data are released, at which time we will further analyse MPI in this region and over time.

Nice try using the updated 2016 data for Bangladesh but sticking to older 2011 for India. According to the new MMRP method contemplated by WB, India's poverty rate is 12.4% data.

India (2005/6) was the next poorest with 54%, followed by

Bangladesh (2014) with 41%,

Man, that backfired spectacularly.

I was going to post about India's data being more than a decade old but you beat me to it.

Hybrid, the poverty data is from WB and shows figures from 2010 for BD and 2011 for India. If we take latest figures, the difference would be even bigger!

Retarded half-Pakistani, there are updates made which make comparisons from data irrelevant. The update for Bangladesh happened when world bank vetted the findings of a report made by BBS & ADB. The same kind of update is yet to happen for India.

From the same report whch gives 18.5% figure for Bangladesh

''Since 2009, however, the Multiple Mixed Reference Period has also been used in the collection of consumption data. The methodology is closer to best international practice. If the consumption estimate derived from the latter methodology had been used to estimate India’s poverty rate, the result at the US$1.90 poverty line would have been a substantially lower 12.4 percent in 2011/2012. Its adoption would eventually lead to a substantial downward revision of the poverty numbers in India.''

Idiot Chippiparai hybrid, the update for India was already made since India changed its base year way before Bangladesh.

MMRP is yet to be used as a general methodology. From the conventional methodology, the stats are:

18% for Bangladesh in 2010
