'India can learn from Bangladesh on women's empowerment'

One gets tired of hearing that 20 million illegal BD folks in India or as you claimed Indian brothels full of BD women, when there is no reliable official data to support it. Anyone who spouts these claims without any reliable data to support each claim is stupid.

Since you fit the definition, therefore, with all due respect, you are stvpid !!!!

When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. It's only painful and difficult for others. The same applies when you are stupid.
Check the sources I have quoted so far. That's tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

Indians know everything. Don't mock them.
 
I think the exchanges in this thread are becoming pointless because - under a supposed cover of 'pseudo-intellectualism' the Hindutva fanatics are trying to disprove the factual point of this thread, which is that Bangladesh is a more progressive, secular and liberal country. This intent is the sole driving force for posts by Indians (other than Jamahir).

This is an issue for them because it runs counter to their continuing propaganda that Bangladesh 'should be' a Jihadi Islamic terrorist sh*thole.

Well guess what? The fact that Bangladesh is as progressive, secular and liberal a country in comparison to India (if not more) has been proven over and over again by UN agencies by highlighting hard data such as,

1. Higher Rate of Immunization for many diseases including Polio (which @iajdani mentioned)
2. Rate of Fertility lower than India per woman (connected to lower population growth compared to India)
3. Literacy rates for Women (roughly equal to India)
3. Life Expectancy (higher than India)
4. Sanitation and Hygiene factors including latrine usage (higher than India)

The above is important because India led South Asia in these HDI factors ten years ago - with noted exception of Sri Lanka, the leader in these comparisons. Sri Lanka is in another league, partly because of their small population.

These things were all achieved as part of Bangladesh' UNDP Millennium goals (of which women's empowerment is a large part). The YouTube video which had a discussion with Amartya Sen (which I posted earlier) also talked about this. That should have been sufficient but I think either no Indian clicked on it because they were too lazy to go through it or that Internet bandwidth is too expensive in India.

Here are some UNDP-recorded Highlights from last year,
  • 55,000 urban poor families received cash transfers to start micro-businesses.
  • Slums in 29 towns mapped enabling government to make informed decisions for the poor.
  • 3 million people, especially women and children have better living conditions and livelihood opportunities.
  • 150,000 households have improved access to sanitation and water.
  • 230,000 households have improved access to footpaths.

HDI rank (HDI) Value Life expectancy Yrs of schooling (GNI) per capita (HDI) Value Change in rank, 2013
India 0.586 66.4 4.4 5,150 0.583 0
Bangladesh_0.558 70.7 5.1 2,713 0.554 1

Source: Table 1: Human Development Index and its components | Human Development Reports

Essentially, we can see that Bangladesh exceeded India in most human development indicators in spite of half the Gross national income (GNI) per capita (2011 PPP $), 2013. The story basically is that India more or less continues to ignore its poor, as it always has.

Amartya Sen said something in that video that really struck a cord in me. He said that India won't tax imported Gold, which makes it lose some humongous amount of money. That money alone could improve primary level education to parity with developed countries. The situation as it happens currently is that fourth graders in India cannot multiply (basic 'Ganeet+Ganana' principles). This could have been averted with investment in primary education, which is the building block of an economy. This is not a priority in India.

India has the world's best institutions (IIT,IIM etc.) but paradoxically cannot provide basic education to its poor citizens.

The thread is two years old started by some nutjob. And all of the sudden kick-started by some random Indian. What did you expect? :lol:
 
There is nothing bad to learn something good for the development of our own people. Does not matter if it from United States or Bangladesh or Somalia. You should develop the same habbit.

True. Knowledge is knowledge no matter where it originate from.

I figured as much but I keep expecting Indians to be 'reasonable and good'.

Indians have forgotten the Sanskrit dictum that so closely resembles the basic founding principles of Islam which is,

'Avinnam param Satyam' = 'Equality is the greatest truth".

I was a bit reluctant to say this regarding the Indians of PDF.

The thing about them is that most of them are young, and come from relatively affluent families and regions. Many even live abroad. They have little or no idea as to the realities of actual poverty, or that just how bad some regions of India really are (however, something similar could be said about Bangladeshis but it's not exactly the same).

They are messed up kids really. You'd see something similar on Facebook. That is the first generation of Internet Indians for you. Especially given that India has gone very far with communications technology reaching a broad consumer base over the decade. Not all Indians on the Internet though :lol:

Other than Indians on the Internet, they are generally very charitable folks.

Even Somalia's treating their women better. Learn Indians, learn. :)

Yeah I'd echo the same sentiments. The new Internet denizens of India (the X generation) have little clue about reality and dwell in the fantasy world of ICBM's and Nuclear subs.

Most Indians generally are peaceful self-effacing folks.

Your post/comeback is more lame than the revised growth rate of Modi.

All these ridiculous claims have been proved fantasy. Since the Indians are fond of squeezing the life out of their female newborns, and they do it by the millions, as a cause of that there maybe a demand for girls/women in the Indian flesh market, but I doubt this will cause the BD women to flock to India.

India is nation that dictates what a person should or should not eat, a nation that sh!ts all over, kills the minority with impunity is not a nation that folks would consider to migrate.

Proved wrong ? You did that ? In your dreams last night ?
